Since you want (I presume) a fully auto camera with various other modes
as well, first take a good look at the Pentax Super Program.  Sorry,
now you have 3 cameras to decide between.  I'd be glad to say what I
do & don't like about mine, on request.  Otherwise, my impression of the
FG is that it is much lighter and very easy to operate compared to the
Canon A1.  However, it seems not to be as rugged -- the lens operating
lever from the body (stop-down) looks vulnerable and was broken on
one store demo model.  If you plan to carry your camera around a lot
but not change lenses in a hurry often, I'd recommend the Nikon.  mike k.
