The Canon EOS Elan 7 (2000, sold as **EOS 30** in Europe, **EOS 7** in Japan) was Canon's mid-tier AF body — sitting below the EOS-3 in the lineup but with much of the same technology. 7-point autofocus, 35-zone evaluative metering, full PASM modes, deliberately quiet film advance and shutter (the **whisper drive** marketing claim was real — the Elan 7 is among the quietest film SLRs ever made). The "**E**" version (Elan 7E / EOS 30) added eye-control AF; the "**N**" suffix (Elan 7N / EOS 30N, 2004) refined the body cosmetics.
