Hmm...what does IS and EF stand for? Something to do with the lenses?
I'm just an amateur enthusiast so while Canon has a greater selection of
lenses, I won't have a need for all that.
I've been looking at the A2E and the Elan 7E. The eye focus thing seems
intriguing but I wonder how practical it is in actual use. I looked at the
Maxxum 7. I haven't looked at Nikon yet.
As a former X-700 user what did you like the most about the Canon AF's? I'd
imagine the additional bells and whistles :) Do you still use an MF from
time to time?
Thanks
