Week three - Canon Sure Shot M

I'm visiting friends this week and trying to travel light so will be packing this into my bag…

Canon Sure Shot M

The Sure Shot M (also sold as the 'Primi Mini' and the 'Autoboy F') was introduced in 1993 and was one of Canon's incredibly successful Sure Shot range. I've owned a number of Sure Shot models over the years but this is by far the smallest and easiest to slip into a pocket that I've encountered so far.

With three separate buttons for the Flash on, Flash off and Self-timer functions the camera is very simple to operate. The lens is a three element 32mm f/3.5 and the shutter speeds range from 2 to 1/250 sec. There's not much else to say really, until I've tried it out anyway. I've modified the DX code on some more slightly out of date Fujicolor C200 film to ISO 100 and loaded that to be going on with.

Incidentally, Ffordes Photographic are currently listing a number of old stock (but new) World Cup 94 limited edition versions of this camera, should you be interested…
