Amazing.
6 of 6 found this helpful I've only recently started photography and this is my second camera(i'll have 2 of these, soon), so i have nothing to compare against and little knowledge however i will try and explain what i think of it. Please read other reviews before buying.
Features-
The canon ae-1 program differ a bit from its predecessor over that fact that it has the program mode which automatically choses shutter speed and aperture for you. This mode i think is the only difference between these two. It also allow for shutter speed priority which allows the user to choose a shutter speed and the camera automatically chooses an aperture to compensated for optimum exposure. It has a flash sync of 60, max shutter speed of 1/1000 and iso setting ranging from 12-3200. It also allow aperture preview when aperture is not on 'A'(took me a while to figure this out). Also this camera has a stupidly bright viewfinder( i have a f 1.8 lens) which help greatly while shooting at night and in general.
Build-
Plastic, its mostly made from plastic, however surprising it is very robust, apparently its made from some kind of new polymer back in the day. You can really feel the build quality from the camera. Its not too light and not too heavy and this offers a decent weight to balance with heavy lens.
and also this camera just look gorgeous, it just scream vintage and probably one of the best looking cameras ever made.
Bad Points-
No Aperture priority mode - this really bug me since the old a1 model had all 3 modes. It allow you to choose the aperture and the camera automatically choose the shutter speed to compensate. however this camera doesn't have this mode so the only way to choose aperture is the go manual.
Build - don't get me wrong the construction of exterior is fabulous however i can't say the same about the inner mechanic. It was primary targeted to a consumer market, so value for money was also a priority so a lot of plastic was used internally as well. This doesn't effect the performance of the camera however it create unnecessary problems over time. The infamous canon squeak caused by lack of lubing of the mirror gear and a lot of cameras have cracks in the back door.
All in it has a lot of feature which made it one of the best selling cameras of its day, and there is still a decent market of it today. Lens from 3rd parties are very cheap and even canon fd lens can be found at a decent price.(high end lens are still in demand, so save up and invest) an amazing buy for anyone who is into film photography and for amateurs like me a awesome camera to learn with.
Did I mention that its gorgeous?
Finally, a few words of advice; 50mm lens is deabak always keep one. Once in a while an unused camera will appear, grab em before there gone. Be wary of shutter squeak as they can be hard to fix. Lights seal are a problem but can diy, not that hard to fix, however costs extra money. Don't try and clean viewfinder, get a professional to do it, i ruin by first one. and finally get out and get shooting =D
Hope this help.
Sorry about grammar mistakes.
Enjoy and have a nice life.
Abz~
P.s. deabak = great success / big win
