The Canon AE-1 Cutaway is a demonstration version of the 35mm SLR Canon AE-1, with portions of the body and mechanism cut away to expose the internal workings for training and display purposes. It uses the Canon FD lens mount and was produced as a non-functional teaching aid rather than a shooting camera.

At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the AE-1 Cutaway have ranged from around £450 to £1,100, reflecting how thinly this display piece trades at saleroom level. With only a handful of recorded results, today's value is highly sensitive to the completeness of the cut-out detail and the presence of any original display stand or lens, so any single sale is a weak guide to what the next one will sell for.
