You need to ask yourself what you want to do that would require two bodies, and what you want to do that the EOS will handle but the 7 might not. Do you want to frequently shoot 2 different films of the same subjects? If so, then a single 3 won't be nearly as useful as 2 7s. Ditto if you want to have 2 different lense always available (but switching lenses on one body would be far most cost effective. Do you want to shoot fast action sports? Then the faster speed of the 3 + booster will get you more correctly focused photos than will two 7s. If weatther sealing is really important, the 3 is far better than the 7, I believe (as is a used 1n). If you just want a 2nd body as a spare, in case something breaks, I wouldn't buy an Elan 7. None of my EOS bodies has ever brokent. Buy something cheaper as a backup, and buy it used. Or, as someone else suggested, unless you REALLY need the features of the 3, or really need 2 bodies, buy one Elan 7 and spend the extra money on a lens, film, or a photo clas. Any of witch will make a bigger difference in most people's photography than will a second body. ===== Bob Meyer Life is uncertain.
