I've got a project where I need to document a day or an idea of whatever, going for the lo-fi look and doing 4-5 rolls of film for that, and drawing all over the pictures I take.

why buy very old canon camera when you can have some for 90's for same price and it can use the lenses you allready have?

yes but theyr fd mount and you cant fit your current lenses for it, this means you need to buy lenses allso(luckily fd lenses are quite cheap, you can get L-lenses for around 300$), those lenses got no auto focus, and if you shoot with low f-numbers you might miss some shots and you wont know if untill you get the pics developed. Camera has no efect for the picture, only the lens matters, so you would get amazing resoults even with cheapest camera from 90's with your current lenses. Camera itself has no Allso if you need diopetric adjustment you wont be able to focus with them, because there is no diopetric adjustment in camera and when you shoot with wrong eye the focus will look right when its infact waay off. Allso you might need to get light meter and that will cost 200$+.
