I've had a Canon AE-1 35mm SLR camera since 1979 and it hasn't missed a beat. I sent it to the workshop for routine maintenance for the first time last year and it only needed some minor adjustment. Photographs taken with this camera are excellent (dependant on lens, of course). It's very durable. I ...

We bought this Canon AE-1 35mm SLR camera new in 1976, and it wasn't until 5 years later that I was allowed to use it. I have brought it literally everywhere and although I have used up point and shoot cameras along the way, the AE-1 has been the good, reliable one. I was shooting weddings with th ...

The Canon AE-1 is an awesome SLR camera. I'm no pro, but even with this SLR, I seem to take pictures that look awesome..and it's so easy! I've only had one thing that needed to be fixed, but it was minor...my grandfather bought it new back in 1976, and it's been working strong ever since! I love ...

I love my canon AE-1 SLR. it's the best thing next to thanksgiving. I wouldn't use another camera if my photo career depended on it. It's God's gift to photographers.

Recently ran into someone at a dog show with the exact same camera I had, both of us noted the others AE-1 and we both remarked, "don't ever get rid of it!" Maintenance? All I've ever done is change the battery and blow the dirt out of it. This camera is a real trooper.

This camera has to be among the best SLR cameras ever made. The mechanic and electronic part works like a charm, doing what you expect, and neither sand or snow kills this camera. The choice of original optics are good, and the availability and prices of used optics etc are also good.

I love my AE-1. However, I learned on a Pentax P30t which has a light meter that suggests shutter speeds, unlike the AE-1, which suggests f-stops. I still think photography is quicker when you can choose a motion-stopping shutter speed and move the aperture ring around until your meter says 1/250 ...

I have had one for 20 years and have found it to
be extremely reliable. I would recomend it to anyone looking for a nice
manual focus camera.
