Works as advertised
I recently purchased the Rebel T2 camera body only after my Canon EOS Rebel 2000 gave its "last gasp".I had been a Canon user since 1979 with an AE-1 (that I still have).
Excellent Camera, beautiful pictures.
I got this after switching from a digital camera. The digital cameras didn't offer the depth I wanted and not having proofs was a big drawback.
More than good enough
After researching several cameras in this price range, I bought the Rebel T2 last month. It has met my expectations and perhaps then some. After recently trying out a friends camera in the 150.-ish range, I partially regret spending what I did. It all comes down to what you need, want, and how many bells and whistles you like. For the money though, compared to the competitors, I still think I made a good purchase. After all, if I use it for ten years, which I most likely will, I will have surely got my moneys worth. Bottom line: no complaints with it. ... Read more

Another great product from Canon
I had this camera for years before it was stolen and I replaced it with a digital Canon SLR.I am still amazed at the abuse I put my Rebel 2000 through.It has a nice light body, a great auto feature, and easy-enough to use manual functions.And because of the popularity (and rightly so) of digital these days, you can pick one up for a fantastic price, even brand spanking new.

Excellent Camera: Easily beats a Digital camera for its price
I have had this camera for about 4 yrs now - I take it on all my business travels.
love it

AWESOME!!!
Okay, first off, I'd like to say that this is my first AF SLR--I stepped up from my dinosaur of a camera, Canon AE-1 manual focus, and right now I am quite overwhelmed by all the features in this little thing.I'm still in the learning stages of all this technology but let me tell you this, I am having fun!It amazes me that Canon can offer quite an impressive camera for the price.

Full Featured - Easy to Use
I bought this camera prior to going on deployment in the Navy back in 1997 (I think).The camera was to replace my father's Minolta X-370 that I had used for years.I liked the available features and the price.

Editorial Review

Canon has once again raised the bar in the world of 35mm SLRs with its EOS Rebel Ti. Canon claims the Rebel Ti has the fastest autofocus (AF) in its class, which should increase accuracy and precision for shooting at a real-life pace. A built-in flash pops up easily for low-light situations, and its extended arm reduces red-eye effect. This version of the Rebel Ti comes without a lens and does not include the quartz date-stamping function.Read more

Features

• 35mm SLR with full manual options
• Fastest autofocus in its class
• Retractable built-in flash
• 11 exposure modes
• Programmed image controls handle full range of common shooting conditions

A great start to an awesome line of 35mm SLRs
When buying a SLR camera, you likely intend to purchase additional lenses and/or flashes to build a system (if not, maybe a point and shoot would be better).Canon has an awesome line of flashes, lenses, and other accessories for their bodies.Sadly they all add up to quite an expense, so buying a body at the lower end, such as this one, can allow you to spend more on lenses, which ultimately contribute much more to the final product (only your own abilities exceed them in impact).The difference between this body and some of Canon's higher end ones is minimal for most users (bodies costing 2-4 times as much are metal, sealed from the weather, and may focus quicker, but few really need any of this).This camera leaves few feautures out (especially when compared to competing brands' cameras in this price range), and you can build a wonderful system around it.If you ever do develop a need for a fancier model, you will have learned a whole lot from this body and will have a collection of lenses and flashes to continue to use.

confused
I have been looking at this camera for the past few days and then today I look and the price went up $17, that's lame.

Great Deal
I had my Cannon rebel G stolen on Chrismas, so for a replacement I have been Eying the new Cannon Ti. Every store I've looked at sells this model for $300, and up. It comes with the smaller 35-80mm Lens, and thats it. I was very happy with this package deal, because it came with a better len's 27-90mm( Nice Close ups!), Camera bag, 2 batteries, cleaning kit, Mini tripod, and a role of film! On top of that it was free to ship! The camera itself is beautiful, a nice step up from my stolen Rebel G! ... Read more

Editorial Review

The Canon Elan 7 E Date features the eye-controlled focus system, thefastest means of focusing and metering a photographer can find. By using morefocusing points and greater off-center coverage than other cameras in its class,this camera is able to take an exact reading in approximately 1/20 of a second.When the photographer brings the camera to their eye, their glance is tracked bythe focusing system, allowing framing and focusing to become a singleuninterrupted creative process. An easy, one-time calibration is all that'sneeded to activate the eye-controlled focus system. Once this calibration iscomplete, the camera is able to precisely detect which part of the viewfinderthe photographer is using. It then automatically focuses the lens with amazingaccuracy.Read more

Features

• Fixed new laser-matte screen with 7 focusing points
• High-speed or silent rewind modes

Best of all
Talk about bang for your buck. This camera has everything you'd expect from a mid-range camera and some you usually only find on high-end cameras. The eye control focus works great though you do need to calibrate it many times in different lighting conditions. The controls are well placed and easy to use. The custom functions are relatively simple to set and allow you to customize how the camera operates. Functions like the true mirror lock-up and the 4 fps advance speed help place this camera securely in the top ranks of its class. The thing that surprised me the most was the near silent operation. Even on rewind you can only hear it if you place your ear near the body (unless of course you choose to rewind at the faster speed). Of course there are options I'd love to see added like a PC cable port and an interchangeable focusing screen but thats why there are pro class cameras. Like I said before, this camera is hard to beat for the price.

Died after 2.5 years
Till yesterday I was all praises for this camera and would have given 5 stars. Its got the features for a beginner to reach a serious amature role with low cost. Well yesterday it died on me. I have had the camera for 2.5 years and shot probably around 100 rolls with it.

Editorial Review

The Canon Elan 7 uses seven focusing points, arranged in a wide crosspattern with a central "cross-type" sensor. The wider-than-usual area gives thephotographer the ability to achieve a remarkably sharp, focused image instantly.This function works whether the subject is off-center, stationary, in motion, inlow light, or even in low-contrast situations. The shot will still come outsharp and crisp, and without the need to recompose the shot. By using thefocusing-point selection keys, the user is able to select any of the seven focuspoints simply by pressing a key. Representing a bold innovation in speed andusability, this feature gives an additional amount of image control back to thephotographer.Read more

I just love my Elan 7!
After living with a manual focus camera for 20 years, I'd splurged and bought myself the Canon Rebel and a couple lenses.I was happy with it, but it lacked some features I was seeking.Enter the Elan 7.Oh my!Once I learned how to use the multiple frame feature, there was no stopping me!I stopped getting so-so shots of my sons in their soccer games, and was getting at least one spot on perfect out of the two or three.This alone makes the camera worth its price for me, but there are other aspects I like as well. My main camera
I bought this as my first (and as of now, only) auto-focus SLR. I'm generally pleased with the camera: the metering is fine and it's fairly problem free. Excellent camera!
I purchased the Elan 7 about two months ago as a refurbished unit.Unfortunately, the camera had a defective feature button.But the problem was quickly resolved by sending the camera back for a replacement.Read more

Great Beginner SLR Camera to Grow With!!
I bought this camera a year ago as my starter camera to learn about film photography. I really didn't know anything about photography when I purchased it, and I still have A LOT to learn, however, I feel as though it's a camera that can grow with me. It has automatic presets that make taking photos for a novice handy - not much thought required, but also allows you to set manual settings so you can experiment and learn.
Realize what entry level means...
Being an entry level SRL, the camera body is cheap & light because it is made out of plastic. This more than fine for someone who'd like an SRL to use for specal occasions - kids'birthdays, graduations, or the occasional family road trip.
Excellent entry level camera
I love the camera but it seems difficult to find some accessories which I had come to rely on with my old camera.I may just have to upgrade to another Canon SLR.Read more

Used it for 9 1/2 years!
I love my Elan II E.Unfortunately, I broke it in Italy this year.It lasted many thousands of shots over 9 1/2 years.The part which broke was the door clasp.Keep in mind, it lasted nearly a decade!I'm going to buy the Canon 7NE to replace it.Love the system!

Quite Surprised!!!
I found this camera used in a store, and it looked like a pretty good deal, so I called my uncle (a camera brainiac, and a very good photographer) and he said it was a great deal, so I bought it. That's all I thought I was getting; a good deal on a used camera. It's so much more than that. I have actually done some really stupid things when taking pictures (setting the aperture and shutter speeds in such a way that the picture would be ruined is my most common offense) and the picture always comes out perfect. It's actually difficult to take a bad picture with this camera! The Elan II is a very nice camera that is simple enough for beginners, but at the same time, advanced enough for professionals. Taking good pictures is a snap, and most of the controls are self-explanitory and easy to understand. I have never had a problem with this wonderfully engineered camera, and I feel confident that, wether you're a regular pro, or a regular joe, you'll find this camera easy, and fun to use.

Fantastic Camera
I've had this camera since 1997 and I love it. It has some cool features, you can be fully auto or fully manual. I have a 75-300mm USM zoom along with the 28-80mm USM that came with it. I kind of wish I'd have paid the extra [...] and gotten the IIe, but I still get great shots. It's not too heavy, focus is quick and quiet, exposure is pretty accurate. I haven't had any problems with it. ... Read more

It's smaller thanmost SLR cameras but retains all of the important features you've come to expectfor creative control. Because it is an APS camera, film handling is fullyautomatic. Print quality improvement, index print sheets, and three differentpicture formats for traditional, wide angle, and panoramic shots are all builtin.Read more

Excellent camera!
This camera is one of my all time favorites!
EOS IXLite vs EOS IX
Bought a EOS IX lite originally - had lousy pictures - was going to give up on the APS system - but then saw on EBAY the EOS IX( not lite )and gave that a try - WOW! the difference is incredible.The pictures were sharp and clear -my advice is to NOT buy the EOS IX lite but rather find an old EOS IX -you will not be sorry.

Dont listen to bargain bob
I'm not quite sure what Bargain Bob is talking about, but he describes thin unit (and a film scanner) as the poor mans digital camera.With the price of the camera plus the scanner, you could purchase a very nice didgtal camera, so don't fall into that trap.If you want film, buy a film camera, if you want digital, but a digital camera...don't just get a scanner. ...

Canon Triumphs Again!
This is the successor to the EOS Elan 7. It is what the Elan 7 could have been, should have been, and, finally, is. Though the Elan 7 didn't leave much to be desired, there were a couple of modifications that would have made it the perfect camera for intermediate to advanced photographers. These improvements are an illuminated external LCD, better light metering, and faster AF.Read more

excellent camera
I've owned my Elan IIe for about 4 years, and love it.Although it's been upgraded to the Elan 7e, I see no need.The IIe has such distinct features and ease of use, I haven't used another camera that compares.Excellent construction, and very durable.

Nice camera, good system
The Elan II benefits from Canon�s EOS system�s advantages, like great lenses and speedlites. I�ve been using this camera to photograph from wildlife (mainly macro) to rock concerts (28-105 sigma lenses) and have been pleased to find that this camera really meets my needs. It�s fast, reliable and obbeys your commands, even if you tell them with your eyes! :) great quirky confusing
I've been taking 35mm pictures for 35 years, and this is my favorite camera so far. I shot a couple of hundred rolls of film with this and it really feels like an extension of my vision. The light metering is sophisticated and usually does a great job even in tricky situations, the optical quality of the 28-105 Canon lens is stunning, and the frame is sturdy and durable. What's not to like?
