Canon Sure Shot 90u 35mm camera with case (serial 7914082)
The ultra compact Canon Sure 90u (called the Prima 90u in some countries) is a very capable 35mm point-and-shoot from the early aughts. Though well equipped with features, the Sure Shot 90u weighs in at a feather-light 185g (without battery). And compared to other affordable point-and-shoot cameras, it supports a very wide variety of DX coded film speeds (ISO 25-3200). This makes it a nice choice for people who like using high speed films like Ilford Delta 3200 or Kodak T-Max P3200. Another less common feature included is its macro mode. In our previous experience with this model of camera we've found the autoexposure to be very accurate.
The Sure Shot 90u requires a CR2 lithium battery for power (optional).

Condition notes
The camera is in excellent functional and aesthetic condition. In our testing we found that the zoom motor is slightly noisy (this may be normal for this model as it is so compact that there's little space for dampening material). We verified the camera's autofocus accuracy on an autocollimator.
