I use Film on the Canon Elan 7e. The Canon 10d is based on this camera. I use the eye control quite a bit for my type of shooting. The 10d does not offer this feature. The EOS 3 does. (45 points as opposed to 7 on the Elan. Which I hope to upgrade to soon.)

 

Digital does not work for my line of work as of yet. I shoot concerts and some street photos. I agree with purchasing the 300d and putting the money into the lenses. It's the glass that makes the image clear. Cheap lenses = no punch.

Cheap glass on a great body is a waist of a great body. Remember the body only adds features. It's all about the glass :-)

 

You have to decide which direction of photography you are getting into. I use chrome and fast lenses for the low light and movement of my subjects.

 

The beauty about Canon is that you can not go wrong with their lenses. They fit every EOS camera they have built. Digital or film.

 

Keep a good film body and a good digital body (300d) and spend the money on glass. You can't go wrong.

 

Enjoy shooting and always keep your eye on things.
