Eye tracking is overrated

I've read quite a bit about eye tracking. I was really looking forward to trying this out. I put it in a dark place and checked it. It worked like a charm. The problem is when you go out into the real world. The light around the eyecup falsifies the measurements and always focuses in the wrong place. The rest of the camera is fairly light, easy to use, and powerful. If you have a modern Canon DSLR it's pretty much the same, just without the LCD.

Pros
  • Striking aluminum design
Cons
  • Expensive

Return to the cinema?

Digital cameras have inspired me to revive my interest in photography; although I still have an ae1 software film camera, it is no longer used. Technical issues with the camera and manual focus prevent me from doing what I love to do. This camera can reignite my interest in film photography. I got it for a dime and it takes my EF lenses, which means better metering, better autofocus and better photos. Actually, I really want to try different types of films. It may take some time but I will…

Pros
  • 35mm SLR with built in flash
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine

Beautiful camera, just great!

I decided to write a review on the Canon Elan IIe as many of them were released in 2000 and really don't stand up to today's standard of technological advancement in terms of camera technology. In 2000, digital SLR cameras were only 3 megapixels, maybe 6 megapixels, and digital cameras were still in their infancy. Film camera makers of the time took advantage of this by inventing new ways of capturing images with film, including features like face detection, smile detection, blink detection…

Pros
  • Camera body only; Lens sold separately
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
