    Good Points: 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. Review by ChristopherMartin

    This camera, like so many consumer Canons, offers lots of features for the price. It's also pleasant to hold, easy to figure out, and offers outstanding functionality among its peers. However, while I can't complain of any compromise in performance as a result, I don't care for Canon's extensive use of polycarbonate in the camera chassis. Nor do I find the Elan 7/7E/30's light weight reassuring. Neither gives the impression of durability, though to be fair none of the Canons I've owned have ever ...

    I bought the Canon EOS 35mm SLR camera because of my satisfaction with other canon lenses. I am satisied with the camera and would be happy to recommend it to friends. This camera has a great feel, operates flawlessly and has more bells and whistles than I would use. This camera can be operated easily by anyone with little explanation. In the handles of any pro that shoots 35mm you can get a glimpse of greatness. I enjoy using the camera. I have noticed that I would have preferred the ey ...

    I have the Canon EOS Elan 7E QD (the "QD" stands for Quartz Data, or data back, which I leave off about 95% of the time), known as the EOS 30 QD outside of North America. This is my second Canon EOS (the first being the EOS Elan/100, circa 1994). I use the built-in flash sparingly. I prefer the Canon Speedlite 550EX (purchased along with this body), which has a wider flash range and, since the flash head is further away from the lens, practically eliminates "red-eye." The lens I use on t ...

    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...

    I'm relatively new to SLR photography but very experience in the research and purchasing aspect of the hobby. Choosing this model was not easy, but it came out the clear winner in my books. I want a camera which I could grow into and in time hopefully not grow out of. Professional models were out of the question ($) and this was the next best thing (in my opinion). As I said before it is NEW technology, which for me ranked it higher than its Canon competition (namely a brand new Elan IIE/E ...

I use this lens on a Canon EOS 7E elan, and this is an outstanding combo for motosport and nature shots, since both the lens and the camera are very quick and very quiet.
