Product Information

The last of the Canon Sure Shot 35mm cameras on this list is the 85 Zoom, released in 1998. It’s noteworthy for being the smallest, lightest version of the Canon Sure Shots. My main problem with the 60 Zoom wasn’t the camera, it was the arrival of a Pentax Espio AF Zoom a few days later in a Job lot. Although the 2 cameras have similar spec and the Espio dates from 3 year earlier it is a much more classy camera with just as good if not better.

Using the Camera a few APS cameras, and they did not sell well. Due to the more expensive processing even at that time As camera technology improved, small features would change between the different Canon Sure Shots. But no matter which version, the function and shooting experience remained very similar. Similarities Between Canon Sure Shot 35mm CamerasOne of the first versions to take advantage of this new technology was the Canon Sure Shot 60 Zoom. This model featured the smallest range of focal lengths (38mm – 60mm) and the smallest maximum aperture (f/4.5) of all the zoom versions on this list.

According to the Canon Camera Museum , the Sure Shot 60 Zoom comes with a 38 millimeter, f/4.5 lens, which is zoomable to 60 mm f/6.7. Not the fastest lens, but certainly adequate for daylight photography. I was surprised, however, to read that the lens contains 6 elements in 6 groups, which is more than both the original Canon Sure Shot AF35M, and the Nikon L35AF, both of which have reputations as excellent point & shoot cameras. The fact that the 60 Zoom is smaller and lighter than both makes it all the more impressive. One interesting thing to note is that the viewfinder also changes magnification to adjust for the switch between half and full-frame. Since you’re basically cropping the image circle in half the lens effectively becomes a 50mm/85mm, which I personally find to be a more compelling duo than 35 and 60, but that’s an entirely personal opinion. My love for half frame might seem a little counter intuitive, since part of the reason I love shooting film is the care and attention to detail when composing an image. However, I’ve found that half frame serves an entirely different purpose than full frame or medium format or of course 4×5. I enjoy shooting these other formats because every image has to be well composed and carefully thought out. As a result, I find that they cater to more deliberate, artistic photography, particularly in a studio setting.
