Great features, from manual settings to automatic this camera has it all!
7 point focusing system!
As good as a film camera gets!


Bad Points

The flash causes red eye 1/6th of the time if directly aimed at a person.


General Comments

Canon's Elan 7 packs one big punch in the quality of its prints and the user friendly way it was designed. This camera is equivelent to the Digital Canon 20D that photographers everywhere are in love with.

When I first made the switch from a Canon Rebel G to the Elan 7 I wasn't sure if the quailty would improve at all. I'm glad I chose to dump my Rebel G for this camera because after the first roll I was absolutely amazed at its crystal clear images. Thanks largely to the 7 focusing system and improved light meter even the Automatic pictures are better then all others.

I've compared my pictures to other SLR cameras, including my old Rebel G and the comparison was no contest. Since buying this camera 1 year ago I have taken aprox. 1000 pictures with it. Some I know I could enter into contests and probably win.

I recommend this camera to anyone asking about film SLR cameras. As do many others I know. It's a great camera and if or when you are ready to move onto a Canon EOS digital SLR the lens for this camera can be used for the digital SLR camera.
