Canon Triumphs Again!.......2004-05-02
The new finish and emblems are gorgeous. The finish is extremely matte, so it's very dark and handsome, and the Elan 7n logo is now a relief on a plaque attached to the body that's also holographic, instead of the painted on white and red logo of the old Elan 7. Though this has nothing to do with its ability to produce amazingly focused and metered images, it sure makes it one heck of an attractive body.
It is arguably one of the quietest 35mm SLR cameras ever made, and I agree. Its whisper drive film transport produces noise so quiet you can only hear it if your ear is pressed right to the body. The mirror and shutter action, though audible, are also well below the sound levels heard in most other cameras. It makes the higher-end Canons, and just about all 35mm Nikons, Minoltas, and Pentaxes sound like gun shots by comparison. Also, when the silent film rewind option is set in the camera's custom functions, this, too, cannot be heard without pressing one's ear to the body. But, even its high-speed film rewind is quiet, if you ask me, and it takes only 5 seconds to rewind a 24-exposure roll of film!
Its auto-focus system is the fastest any Elan has ever seen. It can track things moving at a whopping 31 miles per hour at close distances! Trust me, this is fast! Only the rarest of sporting events would pose a challenge to this camera's AF system.
Its light metering, especially its new E-TTL II flash metering, is almost frighteningly intelligent and accurate. When used with an EX series Speedlite, the camera uses distance information from the lens plus its readings from the 35-zone light meter (both from an ambient light reading and a pre-flash reading) to calculate an appropriate flash exposure. This works in much the same way Nikon's 3D-matrix metering does, so, now, Nikon has some good competition in this category. I find that my Canon Elan 7n with the 420EX Speedlite produces exposures that are just as beautiful as those produced by Nikon systems. And, the high-speed flash sync is wonderful, because I can shoot with wide-open apertures and not worry about not being able to use the flash with the higher shutter speeds that result.
Its shooting speed is a grin-inducing 4 frames per second. Even the EOS 3 only does 3.5 fps without the incredibly expensive power booster with the Ni-MH battery pack, and the Nikon N80 only does about 2.5 frames per second. Oh, and you can get a battery pack for the Elan 7n (the BP-300) that will let you use AA batteries while providing you with an extended horizontal grip for better stability, a vertical grip for more comfortable work in the vertical orientation, and vertical shutter release and exposure lock buttons. Even the Nikon N-80 doesn't offer a vertical grip or shutter release with its battery pack.
This camera features mirror lockup, with the ability to use the RC-1 or RC-5 infrared wireless shutter remote. So, now, not only do you not get camera shake from the mirror going up during macro photography, but you also don't have to touch anything attached to the camera such as a shutter release cable, which could also cause camera shake. That's awesome.
The Elan 7n also lets you customize its settings and performance with 13 custom functions. This includes mirror lockup (another feature missing from the Nikon N80 or lower-end Canons), leaving the film leader out after rewinding it, controlling what the various buttons on the body do, as well as how the camera controls auto-focus assist lights, the flash, etc.
And, let's not forget its 7-point wide-area auto-focus, with selectable points and light metering being linked to the selected focus point.
All of these features, plus several I didn't even mention, make for extremely reliable point-and-shoot simplicity for the casual or inexperienced photographer who wants to get great shots without the hassle of learning all the stuff that's involved in true hands-on photography, yet the camera provides more features than even the pros can shake a stick at. And, it does it for around $300.00, which is 1/3 to 1/4 of the cost of comparable bodies.
Canon has triumphed once again!
PRO's:
-Durable
-Reliable
-Affordable
-Fast
-Quiet
-Exceptionally accurate (both in focusing and metering)
-Packed with features
-Stylish
-Compatible with a very nice line of accessories
CON's:
-My only complaint about this camera is its lack of a real focus assist beam. Most of the EOS bodies have built-in near-infrared focus assist lights that project patterns of vertical, horizontal, or combinations of both lines onto the subject for low-light and low-contrast AF operation. Why on Earth Canon decided to make the Elan 7/7n's built-in flash the AF assist light seems to defy all conventional logic and wisdom. First, it fires a short but rapid burst of flashes that are not only annoying to the user, but generally frightening to living subjects (I used it in a restaurant once with my Elan 7, and people actually screamed in terror...I've since learned to disable this in the custom functions...in fact, it was the first CF I set when I got the Elan 7n). Second, if it's being used for low-contrast subjects, well, it just doesn't help there at all, because it doesn't add any contrasting patterns for the AF system to focus on. However, when you attach an external flash, this problem is usually solved, because most dedicated flash units have focus assist beams.

Musica SW1 10" 100-Watt Powered Subwoofer with Passive Radiator
Manufacturer: MUSICA ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Product Features:
ASIN: B00006GSR0 |
Product Description
The MTX SW1 powered subwoofer was created to meet the needs of the demanding audiophile while delivering the dramatic Low Frequency Effects (LFEs) that are essential to any complete home theater. The SW1 is designed to add impact and realism to recorded music and film scores while fitting snuggly in small spaces. The SW1 comes equipped with a Class A/B 100 watt amplifier with a 40 Hz-160 Hz frequency response. They say dynamite comes in small packages, and this baby can definitely boom.Amazon.com Product Description
Musica's affordable SW1 powered subwoofer is capable of delivering an astonishingly large portion of the emotional impact of both music and movie sound. The 10-inch sub offers 100 watts of clarity and stability--and you can place it just about anywhere in the room since human ears are so much less sensitive to directionality in low frequency sounds than high frequency sounds. A passive radiator vibrates sympathetically with the powered driver, enhancing output.When used in conjunction with smaller, bookshelf-type speakers, the subwoofer extends system capability to full-range frequency response. With larger, floorstanding speakers, the sub helps shoulder the burden of reproducing low-frequency information, and its variable crossover lets you scale its output to cover only frequencies deeper than those most efficiently reproduced by your speakers in your room (rooms have a huge effect on audible bass response). The subwoofer's rated frequency response dips down to an impressive 27 Hz.
The SW1 offers inputs for either line- (RCA) or speaker-level (clip-type) inputs, with line-level outputs. Alternately, you can run a dedicated subwoofer cable from your surround receiver's subwoofer preamp output (for authentic .1 effects from 5.1- or 6.1-channel programs) or from any level-dependent analog audio output. A 180-degree phase switch aids in setup, freeing you to position the speaker in places where the sub's output would otherwise be out of phase with that of your other speakers, resulting in undesirable cancellation of bass sound. You can set the SW1 to automatically power on or off with signal detection, saving power.
What's in the Box
Subwoofer, 4 speaker feet, and a user's manual.
