Canon Sure Shot 80u 35mm camera (serial 7820241)
The Canon Sure Shot 80u (AKA the Prima Zoom 80u) is an ultra compact 35mm film camera from the early aughts. It's identical to the Sure Shot 90u except for its lens. The lens (38-80mm f/4.7-9.4; six elements in six groups) is sharp and well-designed for such a compact point-and-shoot.
The Sure Shot 80u is also an ideal camera for people who like to use a variety of film types as it supports metering a very wide range of speeds (ISO25 to ISO3200).
The Sure Shot 80u requires a CR2 lithium battery for power (optional).

Condition notes
The camera was tested and all modes are working correctly. In addition, we verified the film plane focus accuracy on an autocollimator. The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos).
