The Canon Snappy X Macro (also known as the Snappy EL Macro or Prima Junior) is a simple fixed-focus 35mm camera from 1992. 

Here's the description from the Canon Museum:

"Fully automatic compact camera with a behind-the-lens mechanical shutter, single shutter speed of 1/125 sec., and a single focal length. For exposure control, a program sets one of three aperture settings to suit the shutter speed and lighting conditions. At ISO 100/200 in ambient light, f/8 is set. When flash is used, f/3.8 is set. And for the macro shots, f/16 is set."

This camera requires two AA batteries (not included).

Condition notes
The camera was tested with batteries and film installed and all functions are working correctly (the film was not developed). The camera is in good cosmetic condition (see photos). In addition, we verified its autoexposure using a shutter tester and calibrated light source.
