Summary: Canon Sure Shot 35mm
Comment: What? Stuff
The Canon Sure Shot 35mm is the best of all compact film cameras. Simple in design and function, this camera provides dependable sure shots. The Sureshot was my mainstay for two years. The self-timer comes in handy.
Summary: Excellent foolproof camera
Comment: This camera is very easy to operate and produces consistently high quality results. Good viewfinder...simple controls...easy loading.
Summary: I thought the photos would be sharper
Comment: It's a beautifully made little camera but it just hasn't produced very sharp photos so far. I wanted a film camera since I was tired of the images I was getting out of my Nikon 950 (digital = fuzzy pictures faster). The colors from the Sureshot76 are excellent and it's just so darn cute I have a hard time saying anything critical about it, but looking at images I'd taken with an old, cheap 35mm camera with an old, cheap 55mm lens I'd rather drag around a "real" camera than have to settle for images that really look as if they'd been taken with a disposable camera. But for a grandma-point-and-shoot camera it's dandy, I'll give it to my wife, it's her speed.
Summary: Worked well for 1 year.
Comment: My wife and I bought this camera because it was simple to use and picture quality was good. That was until it stopped working properly. Now the zoom sticks, sometimes the lense will not close at all and the object in the viewfinder will not zoom as the lense does. It was purchaes in January 2001 and the warranty is now up. Not Happy!
Summary: A correction
Comment: I wrote a lengthy review of this camera recently and need to correct an error.
In my earlier review, I said that the green LED focus indicator light would flash at four times per second under low-light conditions.
I meant to say that it is actually the proximity detector. The minimum shooting distance for the lens is 2/3 of a meter, about two feet, so this is as close as you can get. If you're closer than that, the light will flash at you.
The light also flashes much faster, at 16 times per second, as a camera shake warning. It also lights when autofocus has been achieved, and when the flash is fully recharged. So considering this is a four-function indicator, this is a pretty hard-working little LED!
The other thing I wasn't able to determine in my last review is whether the camera had passive or active autofocus. The camera does have active autofocus, which uses an infrared beam.
Anyway, I have already run the free roll of film I got with the camera thru it and the photos are nice and sharp. This looks to be an excellent little point and shoot to take with you anywhere.
