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

Product Information

There’s no reason to choose the Canon over any of the other underwater point-and-shoot cameras, but there’s also no reason to choose the others over the Canon. These most likely present as a result of the waterproof covering that necessarily encapsulates the lens. If the green light does not illuminate, focus has not been achieved and you are likely too close to your subject. You’ll have an even wider range of available film speeds with 25 – 3200 ISO, but the trade off is the reduced max shutter speed of just 1/250. Like the Tudor Black Bay dive watch that mostly sits on my nightstand or the Zeiss binoculars that stay meticulously dustless on my office desk, underwater cameras are among the purpose-built gizmos that I dream of using to their full potential, yet never do.

The metering was solid but like you, I ended up with a few blurry shots in less-than-brilliant light due to holding in the strange flash override. Upon a half press of the button the Canon Sureshot Zoom XL meters and focuses with an audible, reassuring whirr. H. Longley worked with photographer Charles Martin who generally took pictures on non-moving subjects.

Choose a film that is appropriate for the lighting conditions and the subject matter you plan to photograph.There is a lot to be said for shooting without thinking too much, and I’d come to a place where I just wasn’t able to even find that mentality, never mind actually finding a cheap camera and film.

It is considered a very capable camera all round and with a 32mm wide lens, quite a favourite of some street photographers.

So that meant, horror of horrors, that if I wanted to shoot at 50mm in a small and convenient package I would have to begin investigating the disreputable world of zooms.Having just accidentally obtained one of these in a bundle of photo-crap Bought for a nice Pentax 50/1.
