Which digital camera currently on the market is comparable to the Canon AE-1 Program 35mm film camera?

anneslace asked:


Which digital camera comes the closest in features and picture quality of the Canon AE-1 Program 35mm film camera?
Is the Canon Rebel XTI comparable or is it, as I suspect, below the Canon AE-1 Program?
Just a note: I already have the Canon AE-1 Program and am looking for a comparable digital replacement.

    No, unfortunately, Canon dumped that camera system in 1988 in favor of the new Canon EOS system. That left a lot of us having to choose to either to replace all of our cameras and lenses with new Canons or make the switch to Nikon’s whose owners were not abandoned and lenses continued to be usable for another twenty years … and certainly beyond.

    There were some adapters made for the FD lenses, but they were expensive and the lenses could not be focused to infinity.

    Maybe a professional question. But I think sony is ok. Try to check, maybe you can find the one
