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.

Nikon had aperture priority the year after Pentax did, with the
Nikkormat EL in 1972.
