But why is it the best camera for a beginner?

I think the Pentax K1000 and Olympus OM-10 as suggested are fantastic cameras for beginners to learn on, but they are missing one thing the Canon AE-1 Program has - a fully automatic mode, meaning all you have to do is focus and hit the shutter release button to capture your shot. The Canon AE-1 Program also lets you shoot in fully manual mode too, so one is still able to learn everything the manual way.

The fully automatic mode is important in situations where you might be shooting street photography under plenty of different lighting conditions. Shooting in manual mode means you risk missing that decisive moment, having the ability to shoot in automatic means you might end up being the next National Geographic Photographer of the year.
