Great little camera, but watch for light leaks!
The Canon Canonet 28 is a great little 35mm, perfect for a city street walk or a day hike. It's light, compact, but not too small as to be awkward in your hand. The fixed 40mm medium wide angle lens is sharp and is easy to rangefinder focus. Because it is an auto exposure camera, be sure to acquire the correct 1.35V battery, preferably the modern Wein air cell. When buying used, be prepared for the foam light seals on the film door to be worn out, compressed or missing, causing light leaks onto the film. They can be replaced with exact kits or DIY methods found on the internet. I initially sealed the film door on mine with black electrician's tape for each roll of film. I'm glad a bought the Canonet; it's been fun to play with!
