Question by JPalmer: What Canon 35mm SLR camera should I buy?
I recently purchased the Canon EOS 30D DSLR but want to buy a really good film camera also for film photography class purposes. However, I can’t find a good review that describes a Canon 35mm SLR for a serious amateur . Any suggestions?

The canon rebel is an outstanding 35mm film camera. I just gave one to my step-mom, as a matter of fact. I shot with the film rebel for many years, and it never let me down.

Canon made some really great 35mm autofocus SLRs. If you want a really good, professional body, look at a Canon EOS 3. A little pricey still, even used.

For a good camera that won’t break your pocketbook, try the Canon EOS Elan 7NE.

A lesser, but still good camera would be the EOS Elan IIE with eye-controlled focus.

One thing you can check out is Canon’s camera museum (link below) to see when a particular model was introduced, so you don’t buy a camera that’s so out of date or out of repair that it’s useless to you.

anthony h is right. The Elan IIE is the hot 35mm to own if you have Canon’s

I have a Canon New F-1 Professional 35mm (w/body cap 2-batteries and neck strap), AE Power Winder FN and a Tokina AT-x 28-135 zoom lens (with f/r caps, lens hood and UV filter). If you’d like to see some pictures just let me know I’ll email them to you.
