General Comments
I bought a Cannon A1 in 1982 brand new when I was 17 the price was £320.00.The best parts of the camera was viewfider which showed aperture and shutter flash reader and programmed modes.I also bought a cannon 166 speedlight for £99.00 which was dedicated.The camera was an absolute classic but when I bought a Cannon EOS RT
I realise how much the A1 Was Limited in features handling and quality.
For The time when the A1 came out it was an icon but the Cannon cameras available now 2009 are a lot more for the same money.
