Larry, K1000 is the old workhorse. Solid, but built in many variations. Sell it to a student, it's completely mechanical. ME Super is an old favorite and sold bundles of units. AE automation and feels quite good to use. A keeper. Super Program is the first Aperture & Shutter priority AE camera. Also does TTL flash exposure thru the lens. It's the first body using A series lenses. I shot a lot with mine. More critical users (WR) complain of mirror bounce. P30t and P5 are AE cameras. The simplified top plate is their only recommendation. I prefer retro. P5 is the more capaable of the two. Check with Boz's site for specifics. ZX - never owned any of these. Regards, Bob S.
