Canon Snappy LX 35mm camera with case (serial 5009947)
The Canon Snappy LX is a nice and simple 35mm point-and-shoot from the early 90s. Here's Canon's description:
Fully automatic compact camera with a large viewfinder, built-in flash, and a single focal length lens. It was the first single focal length camera to have a red-eye reduction feature. The two-shot self-timer also lets you take two consecutive shots with a single self-timer operation.
This camera requires two AA batteries (not included).
