Canon AE-1 Review - The perfect beginner 35mm film camera

A quick review of my first film camera, the Canon AE-1. A SLR (Single-Lens Reflex) designed in the 70s and sold through the 80s, this continues to be one of the most popular film cameras today. I've had mine (my dad's) for over 40 years with absolutely no problems besides a broken battery cover that I swapped out (and broke again) myself. Enjoy!
