The EOS Elan II is a great camera for El Paso Drywall Contractors. It's easy to use, and takes great pictures.

The only downside is that it's a film camera, so you have to develop the film.

Been looking for this kind of camera. brooklyn moving company

I will look for this camera then I'll give a review after.

Nice product, keep it up! address change usps

I started off using the Rebel 2000, and was looking for a more fully featured Canon model. So far I love this camera. For a relative beginner like myself, the Elan II has all the features I need to grow on, without sacrificing my wallet to the gods. chicagofoundationrepairpro.com

As a first-timer, it is convenient to command dials. Dail at the back of the camera. Built-in flash. Red AF assist beam (better than EOS 7). Supports E-TTL. MLU. Flash 2nd curtain. DOF preview. | Concrete Contractor Diamond

Tripod mount not in center in BP-50 grip

Interface, looks, shutter performance, all around performance, body feel.

Uh, it's a 15 year old camera?
AF isn't exactly blazing fast, (although very acceptable especially considering age of the camera!). In dim conditions (which includes most indoors), you have to point the AF square on a contrasted edge.
Heavy camera with a plastic body can break when dropped.
3 FPS continuous shooting isn't rocket speed either.

I've received this camera when I was 16 years old. More than 15 years later it still looks great. It still works but a bunch of problems have developed. I dropped it and the plastic broke, had to have it replaced. The back dial stopped working. Some kind of goo developed on the shutter (tried to clean it myself - seems to do the trick). AF on one of my lenses occasionally fails. It still works despite all that, a testament to Canon engineering. This was a mid-range plastic-y camera, not meant to last forever and through any condition. I'm not exactly always super careful with it.

I love this camera, because I mainly take sports shots and action sequence shots for skateboarding and BMX. Because the shutter speed can be set so high that all most all my pictures have turned out crisp and clear. I have sent in some of my skateboarding shots to professional photographers and gotten complements on how good the sequences turned out. Its also really easy for beginners because the automatic setting makes it a fast, easy and good picture. But I prefer to use the manual setting because I feel like I have more control.

Picture quality much inferior that EOS5 my earlier camera which I lost.

I am currently using Canon EOS 50E with Tamron 28-200 zoom. The camera seems to behave OK but at times becomes irritating. The camera freezes at 0 degree. The battery life is just hopeless. In my last experience on my trip to Sikkim, I cliked 3 rolls with a consumption of 3 sets of batteries. Infact the cost of batteries were more that the film cost. Only God can Help!.

Convenient command dails. Dail at the back of the camera. Built in flash. Red AF assist beam (better than EOS 7). Supports E-TTL. MLU. Flash 2nd curtain. DOF preview.

Missing * button in BP-50 grip. Tripod mount not in center in BP-50 grip. No dedicated DOF preview button. Button in RS60-E3 cable is difficult to half-press. No "TRUE" spot metering. Not 100% viewfinder, I guess about 90%.

My father bought this EOS50EQD back in 1995 when I lost his EOS1000n. Since then it is sitting most of the time until Sep 03. I only use M, Av and Tv modes and I feel this camera is good enough for me as a beginner. Eye control MUST be calibrated hornzontally and vertically in order to work well (I wear glasses). But sometimes it still misses. With this camera, all you need to do is grab a lenses and go. It works as an point and shoot 35mm SLR, but it is nicely equipped for serious photographer. I would get an EOS 3 or 1n as main unit and keep this one as backup body.
