Canon Sprint 35mm camera with case

The Canon Sprint is a very compact, simple and good quality 35mm camera from 1985. It was called the Autoboy Lite in Japan and the AF35J in other countries.

This camera requires 2 AAA batteries (not included).

Here's the description from the Canon Museum:

"Fully automatic 35mm camera using a near-infrared beam for autofocusing. Manual focusing of close-up subjects as near as 45 cm is also possible. The viewfinder displays information such as parallax correction marks for close-ups.
The exposure and aperture are controlled electronically with a program. There is no self-timer. The camera came in two colors: Black and red."

Condition notes
We tested this camera with batteries and film installed; we did not develop the film but we did compare and verify it was reacting to light in the same manner as another Canon Sprint that we did fully film test. All features are working correctly. The camera is in very good aesthetic condition (see photos). A Canon case is included.
