[net.rec.photo] request for camera info

	For the past month or so, I've been looking over the current
35mm SLR market with the intention of buying one.  I've narrowed my
choice down to four cameras, the Canon A-1, the Minolta X700, the
Olympus OM-2n and the Nikon F3.  Would anyone with first hand experience
with one or more of these cameras like to impart their experiences?

You REALLY do not want to ask that question....

  I own a Cannon AT-1 which isn't exatcly the same as an A1 but
I realy enjoy it....it's a very well made camera. There are a few
things though that I have experienced that you may be interested in.
   The lens's available from Cannon are fantastic but they cost and
arm and a leg , the lens's available from other manufactures are
about $15 to $25 more than for other cameras because of the Cannon mount.
   If I could aford it I would buy another Cannon camera, I think.

I own a Canon A-1 and like it very much. Canon has a reputation of
being a sports-photographer's camera; however, I purchased it because
of the extensive modes which are quite useful. My photography mostly
consists of still-life and landscapes.
