Canon EOS Elan IIE Film Camera

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Nothing!

I'm a college photography student and photo editor for our paper, a few months ago I began my quest for the perfect camera. The Canon Elan IIE QD was my ultimate treasure. It packs a powerful punch and fit nicely in my budget.

This camera is...

Pros: Well made, eye-control focus
Cons: No lens included

So, this is it. This is the one all of you have been waiting for. This camera does everything, and perhaps a little more. I have never owned an SLR camera, but decided that I had to have one. Did my research, asked some friends, and, well, this is...

Pros: Very Sharp photographs
Cons: Bit expensive

Elan II E is an excellent SLR Camera with three point focus with eye controlled autofocus works in both vertical and horizontal camera positions. Camera can be calibrated to three eyes and once calibrated all you need to do is to see at a particular...

Pros: Durable, Easy, Dead reliable, tons of lenses and accessories, all manual mode switch
Cons: low contrast focusing at f5.6

I've had this camera for about 5 years now and have taken pictures with it in various conditions of light, weather and situations. It's an EXCELLENT camera!
The ability to switch to full manual mode for exposure/aperture control is what I tend to...

Pros: Easy to use, great new tech
Cons: has some repair issues, Depth-of-Field preview is a little hard to use.

A couple of years ago I was in the market for a new camera. I had used a manual Pentax K1000 for a couple years, but started to do more shooting for the studio I work for and having a manual camera started getting a little impractical. One of my...

Pros: Easy to use, excellent photos, lots of options and functions
Cons: Bulkier to carry around than just a plain point and shoot

Being photographically-challenged, I've always had the point and shoot variety of 35 mm cameras. And basically, I was pleased with the outcomes, thinking I had just found a good developer. All that changed the day I met a new friend who had this...

Pros: best camera in the price
Cons: battery may lossen, kit lens is rather cheap

I bought the ElanIIe a few weeks ago, & I have been shooting several rolls of film tesiting the camera in various conditions. For the money, this is the best camera I have ever owned.. It does everything for you, & gives you alot of lattitude if...

Pros: Everything! Design. Duribility. Function. Cost. A very, very good deal.
Cons: Ummmmmmmmm......

I've seen a lot of trends in photography. High quality digital, low quality digital, film-to-digital conversion...
It is all very much over-rated. Unless you spend thousands of dollars, you are not going to get the quality you would get with a...

Pros: Easy to use, Instruction manual easy to follow
Cons: Remote switch, Battery contacts

I started out with a Canon Sure Shot back in the early 1990's which I enjoyed immensely. The pictures I took impressed my friends to the point of them telling me to go into photography and "do something with it."

My point to this...

Pros: excellent camera
Cons: takes time to master features

I wanted a camera with autofocus and all the modern features that my old Nikon lacked. I did a lot of research and settled on the Canon. I've had it for almost two years now and I love it! I know my photography has improved because the camera makes it...

Pros: So easy to use, yet so many features to grow with you as you learn!
Cons: None, yet, that I know of

I have wanted an SLR camera for the longest time. I don't know the slightest about photography, but I wanted something to take better pictures than the point and shoot I already owned.

Since I had no practical knowledge to go by, the decision...

Pros: This is an excellent camera with many useful features and a reasonable price.
Cons: film advance is a little slower than I had wished, at night, lcd is dim.

I have been using this camera now for about 7-8 months and I have been very satisfied with it. It has proven itself to be rugged thanks to a fall with it while snowboarding. It seems to take excellent pictures, I am very pleased with their quality. The...

Pros: It is very versatile
Cons: a little costly

I worked at Olan Mills for a while and became very picky about the quality of photographs. I really no longer liked the camera I had. I found this one in a pawn shop. Believe it or not, I only paid $150.00 for it and two lens.

This...

Pros: feature rich, eye focus
Cons: price

I did a lot of investigation before deciding which camera to buy. I read up all brands and models. What really caught my eye was the eye-focus feature. The camera can calibrate to your individual eye movement and decide what it should focus on. I...

Pros: ease, comfort, dependability and great quality.
Cons: none that I have found

I have spent the last 11 months searching and researching for a camera to buy. After talking with over 30 photographers and explaining my desires as to what type of quality I was looking for and how much of an amature I was and am in the photography...
