 If you like to use lenses from different systems, the EOS 3 or 1V are attractive options.

Besides the obvious EOS AF lenses, with the right adapter you can also use Leica R, Nikon F, or Pentax 42 lenses -- of course with no lens to body coupling.  Still, AE with stop down metering and lots of lens options is not a bad way to go.
