new Canon EOS 30V film camera

So it seems that Canon are not giving up on film, photo.net message board post about new EOS 30V. See also EOS Magazine and Canon UK details.
Personally I'm pleased to see Canon revising a good film body, the 30 is a great amateur camera, it gives the majority of what is needed for controlling light, the 3 and 1V give faster frame rates, spot metering and better build quality and AF performance, which are nice but not critical.
Improvements are essentially better flash system, same as the EOS 10D and backlit top display. The viewfinder blackout time has been lessened a bit too and they have made it even quieter.
I have the EOS 30, which I really like a lot. These changes would not make me change my camera for the same model, but they are an improvement. Things they could have improved are the low light performance, the 30 series are not that amazing at twilight, you often need to prefocus, or even manually focus the lens. This is especially true around f5.6. The spot meter would also be useful, 10 percent partial metering is not quite small enough sometimes.
A second hand EOS 3 might be a better buy, but then you need to buy a flash gun too, as it it not included, which pushes the price difference up to more like 3-400. The comparable digital model to the 30 series is the 10D, so there is a 900 quid difference in price for similar picture taking capability.
I hope that Canon release an EOS 3D equilivalent, at say a street price of 2-2500 pounds. Build quality and AF performance of the EOS 3, with the same bright clear viewfinder. I guess it might happen later this year, as there is a space at that price point that Nikon have placed the D2H.
Buy Canon EOS30V from Jessops, buy a decent lens with this too, I'd highly recommend the 28-135 IS USM, as a perfect travel lens.
