A 1989 model from Canon's phenomenally successful Sure Shot range, this chunky compact film camera - known as the 'Prima Zoom F' in continental Europe and 'Autoboy Zoom Super' in Japan - has an impressive spec.

• The 39-85mm f/3.6-7.3 lens has 9 elements in 8 groups and power zooming. The optical quality is comparable to Canon FD interchangeable lenses.
• Power: 6V 2CR5 lithium battery.
