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 uses any Canon EF lens. A 28-80mm zoom lens is included with this model.
As with all cameras, film matters. Use the lowest speed possible and try to match the film with the development process.
For baby shots, the red eye reduction works better than any previous camera I owned.
I have to admit, I am still learning all of the manual functions... but that is what's so terrific about this camera; its user can move into and out of manual and autofocus controls while learning how to operate the Elan IIe.
The personalized eye-focus option is perfect for families who like to take turns getting behind the camera. I have mine calibrated for use with contacts in or glasses on -and it takes great shots either way.
It is a tough camera that performs well in all kinds of inclement weather and conditions (try a rocking sailboat in the rain photographing breaching humpback whales from several hundred feet! --and still I got some great shots).
I agree with other reviewers, however, that the only real downside to this camera is the lack of focusing points in manual focus mode. I have learned to autofocus and then fine tune in manual --but that doesn't work very well for fast-moving subjects. Also, its autofocus is limiting for extreme close-up subjects. If the user doesn't have a good idea about manual settings (or the desire to even try them)-the sole use of autofocus will limit your picture taking.
This is a great camera for anyone who wants to jump to the next level and break away from the confines of a full-time auto controlled SLR.
The primary thing that gives me trouble is focusing. The auto-focus usually works OK - the view has three small boxes in it, and the camera senses which box you're looking at and automatically focuses on whatever is in that box. In most cases, that's great. But sometimes the auto-focus screws up. When I take a picture of my dog, for instance, it will focus on the tip of his nose instead of his eyes. So sometimes I override the auto-focus, but the manual focus is difficult to use because there's no split-circle indicator to show you when something is in perfect focus.
Other than that, I've been very pleased with the EOS, and I'd recommend it to someone who wants a powerful, easy-to-use camera that gives you a lot of flexibility.
One thing that sets the Elan IIe from other camera is its eye control focus system. Three boxes are in the view finder. Look at any one of those boxes, the Elan flashes red, and the camera focuses on that spot. Look in between two of the boxes, and you focus the camera on whatever is between them. While this sounds very high-tech, its incredibly easy to use, works with glasses, and has pre-sets for up to three people since the the camera "learns" more about its user the more the person uses the system. I found this to be incredibly accurate and easy to use. It's useful when your framing a picture with the subject off center.
The camera takes amazing pictures...I mean amazing. It's a great camera for a family - the beginner can use the point and shoot mode, and the family photographer can use all the manual configurations. It can be as simple or complex as you'd like with all the functionality and flexinbility you'll need.
Its only weekness is in dealing with extreme constrast (sky) across the top of the frame. Its metering zones are broad enough that the sky often gets too much weighting. Experience will get you past this, but it is a shortcoming that still bites me occasionally.
The eye control focus works great. Depth of field preview (agin eye controlled) is a feature not otherwise available at this price point/level. And the extensive range of lenses for the camera is hard to beat. In my opinion either the versitile 28-105 or, for those with the money, the 28-135 IS are the best companions for all around shooting. Even better, there are plenty of used lenses available for the Canon line, for when you think a 20 mm shot would look cool, but don't want to shell out the big money for such a limited use lens. The 380EX flash works just fine for most settings (again, more money gets the 550EX, which will handle any flash need you may have), though the combination does tend to underexpose slightly. The camera body offers a +/- 2 flash stops, for those that find a consistant exposure problem with flash.
I recently was tempted, as may be many of you, by the new Nikon N80, which is the first non-Canon camera to even come close to offering these features at a competitive price, and was disappointed to find the Nikon reputation for durability and quality perhaps overstated: the aperture setting dial on my example worked sporadically, which was a real annoyance in manual shooting. Some will say I just got a lemon but having owned no less than seven flawless Canons, I expect a lot. Plus, Nikon's budget lenses aren't nearly as sharp or contrasty as Canon's and while the camera is even quieter than the Elan, the lenses are quite noisy compared with Canon's ultrasonics which now comprise nearly its entire line.
Excepting the more intricate and sophisticated autofocusing systems in other cameras, including Canon's own Rebel 2000, and a handful with faster motordrives, the Elan offers the premier feature set among its peers and access to many fine Canon optics in an attractive, versatile and durable body.
La recomiendo a ojo cerrao.

Q: Why did the tachyon cross the road?
A: Because it was on the other side.
You are a taxi driver. Your cab is yellow and black, and has been in
use for only seven years. One of its windshield wipers is broken, and
the carburetor needs adjusting. The tank holds 20 gallons, but at the
moment is only three-quarters full. How old is the taxi driver?"
