old canon film cameras

Hello, so I was wondering if there were some good sites that sold old canon film cameras at a good price, doesnt matter if it works or not, more just for show. the older the better :)

For show? Who is going to be impressed by your manual focus film camera? :D

Craigslist is your best source, most likely. eBay but then buying is much more speculative there. The classic (that I grew up using and probably lots of other people here as well):

Canon made some fairly attractive rangefinders in the day, too

ah......4omm f1.7 that fit in a jacket pocket. I bought one last spring thinking I would enjoy shooting some film with a rangefinder just for fun again. I paid 50 bucks and got three rolls of b and w to boot. got my 50 bucks back on craigslist and still have two rolls of film for the next time I get distracted by an old shiny metal object. live and learn, right?

Id love to see a new digital sensor with all controls in a flash back style camera like those posted above. I think it would be the best for an anniversary camera. Some people just love the old styling, I am one of them :)

i think ebay is definitely the way to go here...especially if you don't care if they work or not...you can pick up an ae-1 for under 10 bucks, and it looks like that other one could go for less than 20(i don't know what it is, but guessed with "QL")

One store in the Midwest has a large collection of used equipment (http://robertsimaging.com/) for sale, including Canon FD and EF mount bodies and lenses. It's best to make a phone call to this store and ask what they have in stock.

This is where I look for deals.
