Canon Sure Shot (aka AF35M II or Autoboy 2) 35mm film point-and-shoot w/ case (serial 454680)
The 1983 Canon Sure Shot (AF35M II or Autoboy 2 in other countries) is a subtle update to the original 1979 Sure Shot (a landmark autofocus 35mm point-and-shoot camera). This updated Sure Shot retains the charms of the original while improving the lens (it employs a more sophisticated 4-group design) and adding a convenient retractable lens cap.
The camera is powered by 2 AA batteries (not included).
Condition notes
The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos) and in good working order. We film-tested this camera and it delivered sharp, correctly exposed photos.
