The Canon AE-1 was an interchangeable lens, 35 mm film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/135_film), single-lens reflex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-lens_reflex_camera) (SLR) camera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera). It was manufactured by Canon Camera K. K. (today Canon Incorporated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Inc.)) in Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan) from April 1976 to 1984. It used an electronically-controlled, electromagnet horizontal cloth focal plane shutter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_plane_shutter) of rather aged design (even for the day), with a speed range of 2 to 1/1000th second plus Bulb and flash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_flash) X-sync (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-sync) of 1/60th second. The camera body was 87 mm tall, 141 mm wide, and 48 mm deep; it weighed 590 g. Most were black with chrome trim, but some were all black.

The AE-1 is a historically significant SLR, though not necessarily because of any major technological firsts (although it was the first microprocessor CPU (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit)-equipped SLR). Its notability is based in its sales. Backed by a major advertising campaign, the AE-1 sold five million units, an unprecedented success in the SLR market.
