My Canon AE-1 35mm camera
A bit heavy, but not too much. A bit bulky to carry around, like all 35mm. Not a smooth looking camera, kind of rugged looking. Takes crisp images. A little difficult to switch the aperture while taking photos. Very easy to use, and understand. Battery life is very long-lasting. I've switched mine once in the past 2 years. They're easy to find, as well. The manual is very good at explaining every piece on it. Good camera for a younger person or a starter in 35mm, as I've yet to damage any part of mine.
