Anyone know a Good Vintage Camera?

Hello all !
I need your help once again. I really want to get a vintage film camera, but I am having trouble figuring out which one. I don't know much about film cameras [i grew up in the digital time don't ya know].

So far I am looking at the Canon AE - 1. It looks like this :

I just honestly don't know what to pick. I am hoping one of you might have some wonderful insight on my predicament ! If you don't, well then, I will just wing it. :)

Thanks for the help !

Loving...

THIS BAG !

I always feel guilty buying bags because I feel that I should support my own business by wearing my own bags... this one is so hard to pass up ! But much easier to pass up when I look at my bank account ! ha. Oh well I love to dream about what it might look like on my shoulder.. my shoulder is lonely. 

ps. made my first sale !

This is crazy ! Most Random Post Ever !

The largest beaver dam ever found on google maps ! Crazy !!

My mom showed me this and I thought it was super cool ! I feel a like I have a lot in common with this beaver dam.. not because I am overly large but because... 

1. My dad lives in a place called Beaver Dam. 

2. I see them lots when four wheeling. 

3. It was found in a national park.. I work in a national park !

4. My sister was afraid of beavers when she was little. We had to spray beaver spray [air freshener] around her room to keep them away before she went to bed !

5. I saw a beaver once.. but only once. 

6. I use google maps sometimes..

That is all.
