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

Product Information

I did shoot a roll of E100 through it recently, but have yet to get it developed, so I’ll find out eventually how accurate the meter in the camera truly is. Shooting, carrying and traveling with one is essentially the same as doing so with a 35mm SLR or modern mirror-less camera. Markings on the top of the lens barrel indicate our approximate focal length in demarcations of 50mm, 70mm, and 85mm (the resting wide focal length of 38mm is not marked). frame rolls with the flash used for 50% of the shots, based on the “standard Canon measurement system” which I personally find very optimistic, but will probably never be able to actually test.

You’ll always be able to find batteries for it (probably in a drawer along with some old keys that you don’t even know what door they’re for), getting it loaded is child’s play, and shooting it is fun and satisfying. Most point-and-shoot film cameras from the era of the Sure Shot Tele possess weak, pathetic battery doors which break in a stiff wind. My camera is clearly marked “Sure Shot AF-7”, but if you google that, you’ll most likely come up with a similar but definitely different-looking camera.If you’re the kind of person who wants a bulky norm-core point and shoot over a bulky norm-core SLR, the Zoom XL shouldn’t disappoint. Who needs the hassle of changing shutter speeds and apertures when you can have the best of both worlds with a point-and-shoot?

Their favourite camera (at the moment) is the Olympus XA, and their favourite city in the world is Edinburgh. The Date Back models, like mine, use power from the same lithium battery that powers the rest of the camera. Well the K400 is over exposed so I suspect it actually might be setting to 100 and 200 relying on the flexibility of colour film to cope but not with a traditional film. The camera’s bonus features, the soft focus filter and multiple exposure mode, work as they should, though in both cases results will vary from user to user.If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case.

If focus has been achieved in close-focus mode (closer than one meter), the green light flashes slowly and the user knows to frame their picture with the parallax-corrected frame-lines in the VF. A “good” body will also look nice but have some additional potential cosmetic wear such as spots with discoloration, worn down metal or small scratches somewhere on the body.Despite the camera having been released during the late ‘90s, the AF system is pretty basic offering only 3 steps with a minimum focusing distance of 0. That said, true to Canon’s claims, the Sure Shot Zoom XL does in fact offer image quality comparable to the kit zooms packaged with entry-level 35mm film SLRs of its own era (and beyond).

It is compact but not uncomfortably so, and the brick-like shape with the matte finish and the small ridge on the front provide a really steady grip. First is the recess underneath the word Canon on the front, nicely placed for your middle finger to slot into. in daylight, but I have a couple of cameras already loaded with film and my shooting pace has dropped significantly lately. Zoomed in, the XL tends to be a little bit softer than the similarly specced EOS lens that I was using. While not as compact or as luxurious as the many newer, sleeker point-and-shoots, and while it lacks the cachet that comes with being seen on the red carpet, this Sure Shot Tele quietly delivers.If you post photos shot with any other type of camera you will be banned the first time I notice it.
