Amazon.com Product Description
With easy-to-understand key controls and command dial, the Canon EOS Elan IIe Date offers advanced SLR features. This kit includes the camera body only. It has automatic exposure control for any light conditions and a built-in flash that lets you shoot indoors or out, day or night. The Canon EOS Elan IIe Date is fully automatic, but lets you control the essentials manually. It offers nine different programmable exposures and a 10-second-delay self-timer.It is slightly different than the EOS Elan II in that it features eye-controlled focus. This allows the user to control the point of focus by looking at specific parts of the image; an on-board sensor follows eye movement and the lens automatically changes focus as the eye moves to points within the frame. This model features an LCD screen showing exposure information and LED readouts showing custom functions. The viewfinder provides all the information you need to set up your shots, including depth of field, flash, shutter speed and aperture, and much more. The EOS Elan IIe allows for film speeds from ISO 25 to 5,000. The speed is set automatically in 1/3-step increments; it can also be set manually from ISO 6 to 6,400 in 1/3-step increments. Film is loaded automatically and advanced to the first frame when the camera back is closed. You have the choice of single-frame or continuous shooting at approximately 2.5 frames per second; the film counter reveals frame number. The film is rewound automatically at the end of the roll, or after 36 exposures with a midroll rewind option. The Canon EOS Elan IIe Date uses any Canon EF lens and comes equipped with a QuartzDate back that allows you to print the date or exact time in hours and minutes directly on the photo.

You can't go wrong with this unit, but... October 12, 2000

...this camera represents a little older technology, now about4 years old.... The Canon 7e , which you should investigate, has supplanted this body with some significant improvements, such as autofocus speed and 7 autofocus points. For $300, though the Canon Rebel 2000 also has 7 autofocus points. The Canon Elan IIe has 3 autofocus points, but with the eye control feature. I can't honestly say that the eye control has helped me much as I mostly shoot landscapes, but it would help for shooting people, animals and action. Unlike the Rebel 2000, this unit has a mirror lockup feature, which flips the mirror up for 2 seconds before releasing the shutter--this will reduce the effect of the mirror slap just before shutter release and assure sharper pictures for those shutter speeds between 1/30 and 1/8 seconds. Of course, your mileage may vary if you don't shoot landscapes or still life.I don't see myself upgrading to a Canon 7 or 7e. I have shot some extremely sharp images using this camera and the Canon 28-105 lens on a tripod. you'll do ok with this or any other camera in the Canon SLR lineup--just remember to buy good Canon lenses, i.e. avoid the 28-80 lens and spend the extra $ to acquire the 28-105 or if you can go into hock, the 28-135 image stabilization lens. If your shooting style falls into the contemplative category, then you might even think about Canon prime (single focal length) lenses, which should get you some extremely sharp photographs. And don't forget the tripod. Add a flash, like the Canon 380EX and you'll have a hot chunk of plastic in your hands for shooting people, pets, indoors or out. this flash really lights up the yard!
