The Canon AV-1 was the A-series aperture-priority model and the simplest of the A cameras. The AV-1 is a capable entry-level camera with the features many photographers need. The interface is simple, functions easy to learn, and those combine to make this a great option for first or simple-use SLRs. The AV-1 arose out of a need in the U.S. market for an aperture-priority camera to compete with the Pentax ME and Olympus OM10. Though the AV-1 seems like a stripped-down camera, it can be used just as fully and creatively as any SLR of the same vintage.
