Magoo,
So are you suggesting that the new features on the Elan 7NE are not worth it? Actually, I was thinking of starting a poll. The question would be:

Is having the eye control (or tracking - still confused about the correct term) on the Elan 7NE worth having?
AND
What camera do you currently use/own?

Oh, and instead of a new camera for the holidays, I recieved eye contacts instead. Is this a factor to also consider? I really really would like a new camera, but am hesitant about buying one. I'm just a starving college student who wants the best camera for her money.
