Canon Sure Shot
2008-12-18What? Stuff
The Canon Sure Shot 35mm film camera is the best of all compacts. For two years, the Canon Sure Shot was my mainstay. Simple in design and easy to use, this camera provides dependable sure shots. The self timer comes in handy.

Great, Easy to Use Camera, Great Quality pics
2003-10-27My first Canon is the origianl Sure Shot [...]. It has dual lens of 28/48. This camera took the best quality pics!!!!!! (this was going from a Minolta zoom). So I decided to try this tele for a longer distance [...]. Of course, great quality pics too!!! I also have a Pentax IQ zoom 160 (never ever had any pics turn out blurry till this camera)...still get better pics from my simple, tele Canons. Also have Canon Sure Shot zoom 105, again, still better quality pics then the Pentax, but not as good as the dual lens cameras.....
So, what I can figure, is the simplicity of these dual lens cameras leads to better quality pics. They dont offer as many photo modes as some of the others, but you will get better quality pics all of the time, not just some of the time. You cant go wrong with one of these.

Good Camera for low price
2002-10-01I was really excited when I got my Canon Sure Shot 80 in mail. I was eager to see its performance as I had heard that it was a little gem in performance. I was satisfied with the result that this camera costing [$$]provided. However, I would like to suggest to use the camera in Flash mode whenever you feel the light is not enough. It is an extremely good camera for its price and some of the pictures were like SLR quality.

SLR Quality Photo's, Disposable Price
2002-04-27Yo, If you are thinking about buying this I would highly reccomend it. The dual-focus lens seems to bother some people, but it is actually this camera's strongest point. Being able to have a dual-focus lens, you are able to take advantage of the higher quality photos that will result. The red-eye doesn't seem to work as well as it should--(although, I don't really think that any camera can prevent red-eye). The "Auto" mode is the one that I always use, it is the easiest and most fool-proof. It also has a self timer, NO FLASH, and FLASH ON modes. It has spot-focusing which works exceptionally well. I really reccomend either using a local 1 hr. lab (a camera shop...not KMart or Target), or using one of the upscale mail-order labs. The photo quality blew me away. I was so amazed at the quality of the photos that resulted. It was almost better than photo quality of an SLR. Good Luck!

Great pictures, good value - great dual focus lense
2002-04-09This is my second sure shot camera, I don't think there is a better compact camera for the money. Shot two roles so far, pictures are very good. Not as clear as my Nikon SLR but it is more veratile. Dual focus lense is not a problem with me, how many times do you need something between a 35mm and 80 mm shot? What the dual focus allows is a better quality lense and cheaper price. Clear shots and great color. Easy to use but not as compact as some others. If you need a cheap camera but don't want cheap looking pictures check it out. In fact probably as cheap as some disposables, but you won't throw this one away.
