Hi, I think he's buying a NEW body so age is not an really an issue. And while true that the Elan 7e has some new and "improved" features there seem to be different problems being posted here from Elan 7e users in the field. The only known problem with the EOS 5 is the command dial which can be preemptively repaired by Canon, everything else on the EOS 5 works like it should and the EOS 5 is one of Canon's "light" pro bodies vs. the Elan 7e's advanced amateur body status.
