Description

With the Sure Shot (Prima or AF35M in Europe, Autoboy in Japan) series of compact cameras, Canon became a major player in the world market for consumer cameras. From the original Sure Shot/AF35M/Autoboy of November 1979 to the Sure Shot 90u II Date of 2005, this range was a spectacular commercial success. The AF35M was an early example of an autofocus camera - Canon claim: "This was the world's first Lens-Shutter 35mm autofocus camera at the time."[1], although the Konica C35 AF used the same autofocus mechanism two years earlier.
