Canon was the first to market a successful aperture priority AE camera, 
but both Nikon and Mamiya had working (albeit crude) versions several 
years before.



????? When was that? The first Canon aperture priority camera I'm aware of 
is the AV-1 from 78 or 79.
The first aperture priority camera was the Pentax ES, which incidentally was 
the first slr with an electronic shutter, from 1971.
