Great Camera System June 23, 2000

I've been taking 35mm photos for 37 years, around the world, mostly slides. For most of this time I used Minoltas, stepping through the entire series as each new model came out. Great cameras! Then I tried an Elan II with a telephoto stabilizer lens and was blown away by the ease of getting 37 great images out of a 36 roll, sometimes under less than steady conditions. The stabilizer lets you hand-hold at 30. So I bought the wide-angle stabilizer zoom too and it became my lens of choice. With two lenses, I bought a second body. I've dragged these cameras through SE Asia and the Australian Outback and if I get a bad image it's my fault. Great range of presets, easy and convenient to grip and use one-handed, long-lasting battery using ultra copper tops. My only complaints are the heavy weight (mostly due to the big lenses), and the annoying built-in flash that always wants to pop up. Bought a close-up lens and separate flash to round out the set. I'd do it again.
Quite Surprised!!! April 10, 2002

I found this camera used in a store, and it looked like a pretty good deal, so I called my uncle (a camera brainiac, and a very good photographer) and he said it was a great deal, so I bought it. That's all I thought I was getting; a good deal on a used camera. It's so much more than that. I have actually done some really stupid things when taking pictures (setting the aperture and shutter speeds in such a way that the picture would be ruined is my most common offense) and the picture always comes out perfect. It's actually difficult to take a bad picture with this camera! The Elan II is a very nice camera that is simple enough for beginners, but at the same time, advanced enough for professionals. Taking good pictures is a snap, and most of the controls are self-explanitory and easy to understand. I have never had a problem with this wonderfully engineered camera, and I feel confident that, wether you're a regular pro, or a regular joe, you'll find this camera easy, and fun to use.
A wonderful camera for everyone June 17, 2000

My brother has this camera and the pictures are awesome. When we went to las vegas trip with our friends the pictures that we took with this camera were too good. One of our friend has a nikon but the pictures werent as good as ours. Its worth your money.

I've had this camera since 1997 and I love it. It has some cool features, you can be fully auto or fully manual. I have a 75-300mm USM zoom along with the 28-80mm USM that came with it. I kind of wish I'd have paid the extra [...] and gotten the IIe, but I still get great shots. It's not too heavy, focus is quick and quiet, exposure is pretty accurate. I haven't had any problems with it.
Something for everyone... January 4, 2007

The Elan IIe is truly a camera for everyone. I bought mine with internship money in 1994, and I still have it today. It survived the rains in Siena a couple of years ago, and even a 5 foot drop in a canoe back in 1999. It's grown up with me, and as I learn more about taking pictures, I've been able to rely less on the auto-metering, and auto exposure settings, and take total control like the big boys. What can
I say, I love this camera! It lets you go from no-know to semi-pro in a snap!
