First SLR... "Classic" SLRs vs Canon EOS

I enjoy using my 35mm and medium format manual mechanical cameras, but I have also a Canon EOS 630 that was one of the first EOS models. It is a nice all automatic camera, of course with less bells and ... for instance, it has only a central focusing spot, but you may memorize the focus (and you have even the option to memorize two distances and have the camera compute the diaphragm needed for correct depth of field). BUT, this camera had to be fitted with non rechargeable batteries, and because of a lot of motors (pulling the film, auto-focusing, rewinding...) they do not last long. I solved this issue buying compatible rechargeable batteries with a charger.
