The Elan 7E has only 5 ECF/AF points, this actually means it has less ECF
points to process and therefore it has the fastest ECF performance of all
current Canon line up, including the -3 and 1V! The Elan 7e also allows ECF
to follow where you look even after you have half pressed the shutter to
lock initial focus, this can be very good in some cases when you decide to
re-focus on the fly to a different point within the frame, with the -3 and
the 1V (I believe), you have to first release shutter, look at a different
ECF and then half press again to change the ECF point.
But AF speed of the Elan 7e may not be as fast.
I have to admit that majority of the shots I make on the -3 is done with the
center AF point only, this is only because most of my subjects are centered
in the frame, so the ECF actually creates a small delay that I can do
without.
