Canon Sure Shot 35mm point and shoot film camera with 38 mm f/2.8 Lens

Product Information

Simply center the focus spot in the viewfinder upon whatever subject we want in focus, half-press the shutter release button to set focus distance, and recompose for the final shot. While we don’t have control over our aperture or shutter speed, the camera does a good job of selecting the appropriate settings for the scene. The near-infrared beam also enabled focusing under low-light conditions, making the camera a hit product. Here are a couple of photos where the Canon Sure Shot Supreme did focus correctly, and as you can see the camera is very sharp. All of our cameras are also refurbished and serviced, which includes new light seals, clean interiors, and lubricated mechanisms where necessary.

Film photography can be an expensive hobby but there is one very simple thing you can do to offset the overall cost when starting out. As you’re taking a shot, if you hold down the shutter button, it will refrain from winding on to the next frame until you release it. Another hobby that I have found from this pandemic, aside from making my own coffee, bouldering, and practicing find-dine plating with food from the airfryer, is film photography! The waterproof Sure Shot A-1 and the Sure Shot Classic 120 also share a similar dial, so kudos to Canon for using this with some of their Sure Shots instead of fiddly buttons.To enable personalised advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies. It also features a focus scale on the bottom portion showing you where it is focused, either before the shot (with pre-focus) or after taking the shot. That to be worthy of a viral TikTok, a point-and-shoot must bear the name Contax, or Mju, or Minilux.

We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. Aside from this big, round button, we’ve got four smaller ones which sit at the four corners the LCD. I have put electrical tape over the flash (in case I forget to press the button three times to disable flash each time I switch on). As mentioned earlier in the article, much of this feature set can be found on countless similar point and shoot film cameras.

Users who own Sure Shot Tele models equipped with the Date Back will also find their date controls on the back of the camera, positioned in the usual spot, center of the film door. Known as the PRIMA SUPER 135 in Europe and Autoboy S (Super) II in Japan, The Z125 is another former point and shoot flagship model. Many plain-looking cameras have several aces up their sleeve that can neutralize any negative preconceptions and the Sure Shot AF-7/8 is one of them. Given both cameras are 20+ years old, my rule of thumb is to go for the later option, as there’s slightly less time for the electronics to fail or for the camera to receive damage in use.

Known in Japan as the Canon Autoboy Tele, and in Europe as the Canon Top Twin, it was designed to be an easy-to-use point-and-shoot that also offered advanced user-selectable features and image quality comparable to that found with prime lens-equipped SLRs.The camera is pretty simple in controls a slide switch opens lens and there is a big shutter button both good for little folk (aka kids) and people with big hands.
