The Canon Sure Shot BF (aka Prima BF-9S) is a very simple, fully automatic 35mm point-and-shoot camera from circa 2000 that features an unusually bright and large viewfinder.

Here's the description from the Canon Museum: "This member of the esteemed Big Finder (BF) series of compact cameras is the fixed-focus sister camera of the Sure Shot PF/DATE / Prima AF-9S/DATE.

Except for the fixed-focus lens and the flash, the specifications are basically the same as the Sure Shot Owl PF/DATE / Prima AF-9S/DATE. "

This camera requires two ordinary AA batteries (not included). 

Condition notes
All camera features were tested with a battery and film installed (the film was not developed) and is working great. The camera is in excellent aesthetic condition (see photos).
