eebowler - was the lens having trouble focusing due to low light, or was the camera's autofocus a little weak, and taking the lens through a full sweep to try to find a focus point? Or both?
[/ QUOTE ] Not too sure. All I know is that under 'relatively' low light the camera would not focus instantly. It would whine back and forth as the image went from one extreem to the other... Why I really decided to get rid of my camera was because one day while I was going through my usual suffering, a friend of mine with a basic Nikon asked me to take a picture. It pissed me off when as soon as I touched the shutter release, the camera focused... Ok fine, she had a smaller lens, but it shouldn't have been so easy... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif Mostly daylight photos and ones with the IR from the flash were taken with AF...
BTW bjn70 and LEDmodMan, thank you for the link to the elan IIe
Sniper, Deanster lamo! sorry to hear about your mishaps /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif I am hoping that never happens to me...
Glockman, chmsam thanks for the tip however, I doubt very much that it would be possible...
Canon seems to be the better choice for me especially since my last camera was canon. Is there anyone who can tell me the main differences between the elan II and elan 7?
EDIT: Crap! just realized that the elanII(e) uses one 2CR5 cell! These are about 4-5x more expensive than the CR123 cells (already $8US here). It wouldn't make sense going with this camera unless I am sure to get the BP- battery pack with it...
