Review Summary

This is my second Canon Elan 7NE. I shoot Photo journallistic weddings and I highly recommend this camera. It is well built and delivers each shot from auto focus to print. I had a chance to head in the direction of digital this year but decided to keep the film rolling. You can purchase for under $400 and get great pictures.

very reliable, like the eye controlled focus, I also like that the camera can be set for full auto or full manual operation, or you can set the camera so you control a certain setting and the camera does the rest. Best in it's class!!!

This camera has all the features you could ever ask for. The price is very reasonable for a camera that will do everything any serious hobbyist would want. I bought the camera as a second high quality camera for the reasonable price and the fact that it is compatible with my Cannon equipment. The only drawback is the fact that it is a film camera that comes with film processing costs. The cost of film and processing (and scanning) would offset the price of a higher price digital camera over a relatively short period of time if you will use this camera as your primary camera and plan to take a lot of pictures.

I've finally gone digital (Rebel XT) and I really wish Canon would turn this eye-control focus featured camera into a Digital equivalent. The 35mm Rebel isn't as great a camera as this one is w/the eye-control, but if you want digital you have to give up that feature and go back down to the rebel model. Just like my old Elan IIe, the grip coating over the plastic body begins to come off onto your hands when you sweat taking outdoor soccer game pictures as I do. That's the only minor issue I've had with the camera at all. It takes amazing pictures so buy it if you don't mind the film developing costs. It's way lower now than it was when digital SLRs didn't exist. I paid way more for my Elan IIe than I did the 7Ne and now prices have come down even further as digital has become even more popular.

Good camera for the Money

It is a major step up from my old Canon Ftb from 30 years ago
The EOS ELAN 7N/7NE incorporates a host of features, including an improved 7-point, wide-area focusing system, a new backlit display, Canon's Whisper Drivetechnology, and enhanced E-TTL II autoflash, all in a nearly silent, elegant andrugged package.
AF Performance
The ELAN 7N/7NE have the fastest AF ever in an ELAN-series camera. Whether your subjects are moving or stationary. The ELAN 7N/7NE offer class-leading AF that rivals the focus speed of top-of-the-line pro SLRs. With AI Servo, One Shot and AI Focus modes, the AF system can adapt to any situation. AI Servo AF is perfect for moving subjects. The camera follows the subject continuously until the shutter is released, continuously adjusting focusfor sharp results.
7 Point AF System with Eye Control
Focusing point selection keys make manual selection of focus points effortless, and focus points are clearly displayed in the camera's viewfinder.
Use the ELAN 7NE's exclusive Eye Controlled Focus for instant, intuitive AF in almost any situation. The Eye Controlled Focus System tracks the glance of the eye, integrating composition and focus into one uninterrupted step.
Advanced Multi Mode Exposure Metering
The EOS ELAN 7N/7NE features an advanced 35-zone evaluative light metering system that is linked to the camera's focusing points. Toassure the highest level of contrast and clarity, Canon's AIM system integrates evaluative metering and focus information, but whether using automated 35-zone metering, partial-area metering or center-weighted metering, the ELAN 7N/7NE assures that your exposures come out just right.
Creative, Reliable Shooting Modes
Use the ELAN 7N/7NE's command dial to suit the camera to any kind of photographic situation. Choose one of the fully automatic functions in the Image Zone, or, for more user-controlled features, including fully manual operation, click to the Creative Zone
Full Auto, Potrait, Landscape, Close-Up, Sports, Night Scene, TV (Shutter Priority AE), P Inelligent Program AE, Manual, AV Aperture Priority, DEP Depth of Field AE
Enhanced Functions The ELAN 7N/7NE features AE lock, Auto Exposure Bracketing, Multiple Exposure Control and Self-timer ensure that the ELAN 7N/7NE can do anything you want it to
New Distance Based E-TTL II Flash Metering: Attach any Ex-series Speedlite, and most Canon EF lenses provide distance information to the camera insuring that direct flash exposures are more accurate than ever before. Distance-based E-TTL II is especially powerful when shooting abnormally light or dark subjects. Shoot flash pictures with full automatic exposure, using FP (hi-speed sync), up to the camera's top speed 1/4000 of a second. Take 10% partial readings of flash illumination and lock them into memory with Flash Exposure lock (FEL). Or use anywhere from one to an unlimited number of 550EX and/or 420EX speedlites off-camera,
