Good Points

This camera has a good, solid feel. The controls are easy to use and are not hidden away.


Bad Points

I've not used it enough, yet, to be able to comment on bad points.


General Comments

I, just last week, traded a framed, matted print from my gallery for an A-1. I made the trade because I wanted something of quality which would take multiple exposures.

I have used Canon in the past, so assumed it would be a rugged, reliable camera. I'm not very disappointed. The lens is stuck, so I can't get it off.

I took a roll of film with it Thursday and I'm pleased with the results. I purposely pushed the macro and depth of field into marginal results and got exactly what I expected, Now I know the focus and exposure limits for future work.
