It's a subtle update from 1994's already-excellent Prima AF-7 (confusingly also called the Sure Shot Owl) with main difference being the new easy-to-use mode dial. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere's the description from \u003cem\u003eThe Canon Museum\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A 35 mm single focal length compact camera featuring an extra-large, easy-to-see viewfinder. The model’s large viewfinder offers three times the viewing area found in conventional compact cameras, allowing subjects to be seen with greater ease and clarity. The feature even enables users to take pictures while wearing eyeglasses as the entire image area can be viewed up to a distance of two centimeters from the viewfinder. A Mode Dial, located on the face of the camera, consolidates all of the operation functions at the user’s fingertips. The camera has a stylishly designed sleek black body and features the Canon logo in raised silver letters.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll camera features were tested with a battery and film installed (the film was not developed) and is working great.
