If anyone is buying this camera as a beginner it is excellent.
Pros - Inexpensive yet a great camera, it was a very popular brand when it first came out so there are many out there and many accessories to buy, it is very easy to operate.
Cons - Rather heavy for most SLRs, Shutter sound is relatively loud, there are a couple of parts I would have asked to be in different places
All in all it is a great camera. When buying on ebay ask the seller if there is any visible fungus and if there is evidence of grease or lubrication. These are some common problems that will severely depreciate a camera like this. If you get the chance and the AE-1 and the AE-1 PROGRAM are the same price purchase the program because it is slightly better.
