Good Points

very good camera. Lots of toys, and lots of lenses to choose from.


Bad Points

Built-in flash only when desperate. Better to get a proper flash like 550EX, very good.


General Comments

Always get the best lens, not 3rd party, for best results.
Got 28-135 IS USM (always test it first in shop, my first one clicked and had a flake inside! Changed it immediately.
Eye control can be tiresome to use, and only if you have time to mess about. Otherwise for action shots anticipate and pre-focus etc...

    This question is for Wildpants from the UK. Your review of the Canon EOS Elan 7E confused me a bit. What did you mean and please explain, "test it first in shop, my first one clicked and had a flake inside"? Also I've heard that the Eye Control doesn't work well.
