Canon AE-1 Program used value
What is your Canon AE-1 Program worth? Its condition, working status and included lenses determine which comparisons are useful. Start with the checks below, or open your model in the calculator.

Match the exact model
Choose AE-1 Program when that full name appears on your camera. The earlier AE-1 and the A-1 use different catalog entries and price comparisons.
Check condition before estimating
Test the meter, shutter, film advance and rewind, and inspect the battery compartment and seals. Disclose squealing, sticking or inconsistent operation rather than treating age-related faults as cosmetic wear.
Use photographs and a clear description of known faults. Leave unknown details blank rather than guessing; an untested camera may need inspection before a reliable value can be given.
Body only or camera kit?
Add an FD or New FD lens as its own item with the exact aperture. A motor drive, flash or presentation box should be described in a sale listing but is not automatically part of the camera estimate.
Kit totals add the included item estimates and assume separate sales. Items without usable pricing are excluded from a clearly labeled partial subtotal; that subtotal is not the value of the complete kit.
Private sale or trade-in?
A private-sale estimate and a store cash estimate answer different questions. Store estimates use modeled trade-in assumptions, not a dealer’s actual offer. Selling fees, shipping and repairs can also change what you receive.
Where does the price come from?
The calculator identifies the available evidence and observation dates. Active listings show asking prices, not completed sales. Condition adjustments are modeled, and limited evidence is labeled provisional. This guide does not publish an undated price or promise a sale price.
