Ergonomics, user friendly, so versatile. Absolute top quality and reliability. Probably the best manual SLR ever made.
None really, maybe the weight, oh yes and you can,t buy a new one!
I have had my Canon A1 for around 25 years I have always loved using it and it has never let me down. When I purchased it, it was expensive and as an amateur I couldn't really justify the cost. Now 25 years later the initial outlay is justified at around £0.60 per year. You can't even buy a decent newspaper for that!
A classic that is still going strong and I prefer the A1 to my digital.
