I have used both the Elan 7 (not the Elan 7ne) and the EOS 3. The 10D is very similar to the Elan 7, so if your object is similarity go with that--you will be very comfortable with it. If your object is a reason to use film, go with the EOS 3. I've ebayed my Elan 7 but I still can't bear to part with the EOS 3. Its responsiveness is so much better than my 10D. There's no beating the convenience of digital, however, and my poor EOS 3 stays home much more often.
