Hello world, I am a proud owner of a Canon A-1 and so I was wondering how many other people own one of these great cameras. I have taken my through hell and back again(also through snow and rapelling and rock concerts) and it has continued to serve me well no matter how I try to hurt it. It has the marks on it to show that it is two and a half years old and I have not had one major problem with it, besides killing the first battery in only two months(I had the second one in for more than a year, though). So, Canon A-1 owners, speak up. Still shooting, Allan F. Perry nmtvax!robin

--------- Hi. I'm seriously considering purchasing a Canon A-1 with a Vivitar 28-90 f2.8 Series 1 Lense. Does anyone have any gripes or other negative feedback on this camera (or lense), or any specific reason for preferring any of the other comparable cameras? (eg pentax superprog, ricoh xr-p). Thank you, and please respond to me directly as I'm not yet a regular subscriber to net.rec.photo. John Ronan ...decvax!decwrl!rhea!tools!ronan (603) 881-2983
