🛠️ How We Grade Our Cameras

No two cameras are identical, every camera is unique, has its own story and is truly a piece of history. We do our best to group them into three cosmetic categories so you can choose the one that's best for you.

VERY GOOD:

A "very good" body will have minimal signs of wear and tear. Examples include slight impurities like  worn leather or metal, signs of age on the bottom plate, and dull marks. 

GOOD:

A “good” body will also look nice but have some additional potential cosmetic wear such as spots with discoloration,  worn down metal or small scratches somewhere on the body.

AVERAGE:

An “average” body will be a more severe case of cosmetic wear like more extreme discoloration or worn down metal, exterior or interior black
specs, deeper scratches, or lines in the eye prism.

Canon AE-1 Program: Capture Life’s Best Moments on Film
Step into the magic of 1981 with the Canon AE-1 Program, the charismatic big brother of the beloved Canon AE-1 that stole hearts half a decade earlier. While both cameras are undeniably solid, the AE-1 Program brings its own set of upgrades to the vintage photography party. Designed with an intuitive Program mode, the Canon AE-1 Program lets you focus on the moment without worrying about complex settings. It’s as simple as point, shoot, and create. 

Why You’ll Love It

  • Capture Your Story in Every Shot: Experience the magic of 35mm film with images full of warmth, depth, and texture.
  • Easy to Use, Hard to Put Down: With its program mode, even beginners can snap beautiful photos effortlessly, while manual controls offer creative freedom for pros.
  • Timeless Design, Built to Last: Feel the satisfying weight of a well-built camera, made to withstand the years and capture memories for a lifetime.
  • Turn Moments into Memories: Whether you're photographing friends, family, or far-off places, the Canon AE-1 Program makes each shot a keepsake.

Digital filters trying to recreate the look of film, come close. But you can always tell when a memory is truly captured on film. The Canon AE-1 Program captures your memories with the warmth, richness, and authenticity that only 35mm film can provide. Whether it’s the golden glow of a sunset or the spontaneous laughter of a friend, this camera makes every moment feel timeless. Each photo becomes a lasting keepsake in a way that digital just can’t replicate.

Disappointing Communication Overshadowed a Great Product

I recently ordered a Canon AE-1 Program from Cute Camera Company for my girlfriend's birthday, and while I appreciate the excellent condition of the camera upon arrival and the unique packaging, I was quite disappointed with the overall experience.

Firstly, I was under the impression that the specific model I ordered was in stock. Their website clearly indicated quick shipping times, which is why I placed my order well in advance. Unfortunately, after a few days of silence on their end, I reached out for an update only to learn that the model I wanted in good condition was actually out of stock. This information was not communicated at any point during the ordering process, which was frustrating and left me scrambling to find a backup gift.

While the camera itself was great, the lack of communication and transparency regarding stock availability was unacceptable. It’s critical for a company to keep customers informed, especially when an order is time-sensitive. I expected better from Cute Camera Company, and this experience has made me hesitant to recommend them. I truly hope they address these issues moving forward.

Great camera great service

My husband ordered this camera for me for my birthday. When the package first arrived I realized I got the wrong camera ( it was the AE-1) I was able to get ahold of the company and they quickly fixed the problem. The correct camera came and it came in better condition than I expected. The camera looked practically brand new barely any dust in the view finder and it was easily removed by my microfiber cloth. I’ve had an AE-1 P before from my local camera shop and you can tell this one was definitely serviced. No canon squeak which is a big plus. I’m waiting for my first test roll to come back.
