Pros: Easy to use. Great focusing. Fairly decent price.
Cons: After heavy use expect the quick dial to break!
The Bottom Line: Don't buy it. Your better off going with something more durable and less expensive. If want to step up to a a more comprehensive camera I suggest you step higher.

| cjoy50's Full Review: Canon EOS-A2 Film Camera |
This was my second Canon camera purchase. I wouldn't call myself an extensive photographer as I usually go through about 50 rolls of film a year. I've had this camera for about two years now and overall it's performance has been relatively good. It takes beautiful pictures but when it comes to ruggedness it falls short. It's body is comprised almost entirely of plastic and the battery life is less than 50 rolls.
The camera's grip is rubberized so it handles very well and the speed dial allows for someone who knows little about taking pictures to literally point and shoot.
The eye controlled focus is also a downside of the camera. It's a waste of money. Usally you can focus faster with your finger on the shutter button than the camera can with the eye control.
