I can get Elan 7E camera at $220, the previous owner just used it a few times(almost new!). I don't know if this is good chance to grab it.
Is this good price for this used camera?
Anybody has any idea?

Thanks in advance.

You can get a general fair market value of most used items at Ebay, B&H photo's used section, or photonet

Depends, is this body only, if not which lens is it being offered with. Don't forget if its body only, unless you already have a couple of USM lenses for the Canon it could turn out to be quite expensive, (a good lens combination for the elan, is the Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM). Also try it out before parting with your money.

Ps, The EOS3 is even better.

hi JimP

This is body only. it doesn't have any lens on it.

still worth buying it?

Thanks

I would say only if you already have Canon USM lenses , or intend to purchase a Canon digital camera in the future, or if you are a film buff and are willing to spend loads of dosh on GOOD Canon glass. But if this is your first film camera and you just want to give it a try, I would go for a cheaper option. Don't forget film camera prices are going down like a lead balloon at the moment, and it could be a costly mistake.
