I've got the Elan 7e, and I love it. The eye control feature is great. All I have to do is look at a focus point, and it is on it. The eye control feature is great for wildlife or sports, any fast action that you would normally miss with conventional focusing systems. Even with glasses, the eye control system works great. As for the 30D, it was really lacking in megapixels and I considered the 40D. I ended up buying an XTi back in 2008. 10 megapixels is better than 3.1 but by today's standards it's not much. 10 megapixels doesn't leave much for cropping so it's important to get the composition right. At the time, the 40D was more than my budget would allow. However, the guts of the XTi are the same as the 40D. I was able to find a software hack for the XTi to unlock all the features. My XTi thinks it's a 40D. I went from 1600 ISO to 3200. But, anything over 400 ISO really kills the image quality. The best part of the hack is that I now have the spot meter of the 40D. I am able to get more megapixels out of the 7e. By scanning my negatives with an Epson 750 Pro, I am getting between 35-40 megapixels. I know, it's 2024 but the 2024 economy is terrible. So, for now I will shoot vintage.

It's 2020 and I went back to film (35mm) using Canon's EOS cameras and EF lenses do to the high cost of going to a DSLR full frame camera. All used equipment from Ebay of course in excellent to mint condition.

@@michaelgriswold1809can you help? I just got an EOS ELAN from an auction. Let me get this right …. this camera is a film camera and not digital where I can take videos or upload directly to a computer? It came with a Sunpak 4000af flash and an EF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 III USM Zoom Lens. Everything is in excellent condition (including the canon bag 😂). I only paid $50 for it all but it sounds like it’s not what I was expecting or wanting.

DEP mode is depth of field: focus on the furthest point, focus on the closest, the camera works out the aperture needed.
@thenexthobby5 жыл бұрын
Canon's user guides, describing all functions and features for both cameras can still be found online. The DEP setting on the Elan models isn't DoF preview (the 7e has a dedicated button for DoF preview on the front, down low. The Elan IIe has DoF preview with a dedicated eye target location in the upper left of the viewfinder.) DEP is a form of aperture priority. Switching to DEP allows you to create a depth of field from two half-button press focus points. On the 3rd press, you take the image. I didn't realize this, either, for the first 20 years I owned it. And I have the user guide :) The 7 has seven focus points, not 5. You can see all available 7 from the viewfinder if you look. In my experience it doesn't necessarily focus better than the Elan II's 3 focus points, because just as with today's zillion focus point cameras, the computer still has to react and get the lens to MOVE. My Elan II is my favorite film camera, even though I just picked up an Elan 7e. The II is just classically better laid out and styled. And its IR focus assist was a smart idea Canon and others that had it should have retained. You have to put an older speedlite on the 7 to get IR focus assist. I do prefer the 7's newer battery and optional battery grip. It's got the AE lock (or alternatively back button AF) button the II's optional battery grip lacks.

Are you using an original CF memory card? I recently resurrected another digital camera from that era and found it would only take up to a 1gb memory card, nothing more. If you are using a newer CF card, that could be the issue.

Hi, thanks for the informative video. I just got the 7e, any ideas why the AF confirmation beeper doesn't work? It works fine in my original Elan, Rebel G, Rebel 2k, Elan IIe but I cannot get it to work with the 7e. Camera focuses correctly and green circle shows fine but it doesn't beep. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In case you have not found how to switch the focus confirmation on and off, press the button on the back of the camera, move the arrow to the the second item below ISO on the LCD display, then turn the front dial. The 1 indicates on, 0 is off.
