Review on πŸ“Έ Exceptional Canon EOS Elan 7 35mm SLR Camera Body - Capture Stunning Moments! by Joy Owens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A camera that makes you think before you shoot

If you already have a Canon Rebel digital camera like the T3i and lenses to match, you might like this old-school camera body . Why bother with a film camera when a digital one is so much easier? Firstly, all Canon EF lenses fit in the body of this camera. And it's a full-frame sensor, as opposed to the crop sensor in Canon's consumer camera body. So, with your wide-angle lenses, you can take wider shots. It's an affordable way to get your hands on a full-frame camera, costing around 20x the price of the digital version. Canon Speedlites will also work with this body. If burst mode is your thing, the Elan 7 shoots at 4fps, which is faster than some DSLRs. You also get very good film color quality in your photos. But the main reason for buying this camera body is that filming adds a dynamic that really makes you think before you press the shutter. You're paying money for each frame in the film and development costs, so you have to think a lot more about scene composition, lighting, and all the other ingredients that make a good picture. It makes you a better photographer. The blessing and bane of a film camera is that you can't review your shots right awayβ€”you have to wait for the film to develop. But it's nice when the wait is over and you finally see your prints.
