Rebel 2000 supports E-TTL flash, FP flash (high synchro flash) and FEL (flash exposure lock)- With E-TTL flash as 420 EX, 550 EX or 220 EX. It dosent support modeling flash, second curtain synchro, FEC (flash exposure compensation),

 

The main mprovements on the new Rebel TI versus Rebel 2000 are metal lens mount and red light blonking focusing points

With FP and shutter speed higher than X-Synchro, the flash GN will drop (see the manual of your flash) so you have to check if the flash output still enough for the photo you are taking.

Hello,

 

Can somebody tell me please what are the main advantages of using a

flash bracket (especially in a wedding) ?

 

Thanks

The new Rebel (EOS 300 V) costs about 330 Euros in France, lens EF 28-90 Canon about 170 Euros.

Hello,

 

I have an EOS 30/Elan 7E with , 420EX flash and a third party TTL

flash.

Is there any option to use one of these 2 flashes as a slave one

without having the expensive wireless Canon flash system (550EX,

ST-E2, ...)?

Thanks for your answer

I have a Rebel 2000 with EF 28-80 f/3.5-5.6. I replaced the lens with the EF 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 USM, really nice lens.

For portraits I use a EF 75-300 f 4-5.6 III non USM at about 85mm which is a little bit sharper than the 28-105 at the 85 mm.

For portraits, I would like to buy soon the EF 85 f/1.8, I velieve it would be great for portraits.

I agree with Ben, it works, no problem

Hello,

I've just received my new Elan 7E. I used a Rebel2000. I noticed on

the Elan 7E that the black felt seal on the edge of the focusing

screen which is touched by the mirror when it goes up is discontinued

at the center and dosent cover all the edge of the focusing screen,

only 2/3 of it. It covers all the edge on the Rebel 2000.

Is this normal on the Elan or it is a problem with the body i

received? see below a picture of the seal on my Elan 7

Thanks for your answer

Hi,

 

The lighting was tungestan? this is why i think your pictures were something loke orange colors

Thanks Kevin. They use tungestan light.

I asked a local photography shop for the advise (i had in mond the portra NC or the Fuji NPH cause i saw some nice photos of weddings done with these films), the shop advised me the Royal Gold, I think this film gives very saturated colours , right ?

 

I think I will try the portra NC

it is a small church

Hello,

 

I have a friend's baby baptism soon, could you suggest me a print

negative film to do some photos ? should I use a consummer film or a

pro film ?

 

I will use a 50/1.8 lens and/or 28-105 lens, the flash is allowed in

the church, the baby will have white dress

 

Thanks for your suggestions

Thank you for these answers. One more question: does the active focusing point on the EOS 30 light up ?

Please note that I am considering to buy the Elan mainly to resolve my 2 problems

Hello,

 

I use a Rebel 2000 with a 420 EX and some EF lenses, I am satisfied of

this equipment.

Only 2 problems I have :

1 The focusing points in the view finder are not easy to see in low

light conditions.

2- Information in the view finder are so small and not enough bright,

so sometims it is not very easy to read these information in outdoor

high light conditions.

 

Do you think with an EOS Elan which I consider to buy would I still

have these problems ? any advise ?

 

Thanks
