I basically learned analog SLR photography with an AE-1.
No there's no major differences; the A1 is a bit tougher and heavier and capable of full auto mode.I'd get any of them you can get in a good condition for a reasonable price.
That OM2 amey mentioned is a nice camera as well.
If I were starting analog 35mm SLR today I'd definitely go for a Pentax ME, they're smaller, tougher, and have a lot of lenses I really like.
Currently looking at the Canon A1, AE1 and AE1 program for a next purchase, what would ppl recommend?
Doesnt seem to be much difference (program mode etc) between the 3 or am I mistaken?
