This is one of the later and better 35mm point and shoot cameras in the Canon Sure Shot/Autoboy series. The Sure Shot 105 Zoom was also called the Autoboy Luna 105 (Japan) and Prima Super 105 Zoom (Europe). This is a very simple camera to use but also a very capable point-and-shoot for more advanced photographers. It offers a wider-than-usual zoom range (38-105mm) for a camera of its size and a relatively fast maximum aperture at its wide end (f3.8) for a zoom point-and-shoot.

Here's the description from the Canon Museum:

"The top-of-the-line model in the Autoboy Luna series. Fully automatic zoom compact camera with a 38-105mm (2.8x zoom ratio) lens. Silver and black two-tone color. 3-point autofocusing with Ai-AF. Two aspherical lens elements contribute to high image quality. Easy dial operation. The RT (Real-Time) shutter mode makes shutter release very fast. Many features at your disposal." 

The Sure Shot 105 Zoom requires a CR123 battery (available as an option).

Condition notes
All camera features were tested with a battery and film installed (the film was not developed) and it's working great. The cosmetic condition of the camera is also good (see photos). We also verified the camera's film plane focus sharpness using an autocollimator.
