Canon Sure Shot 60 Zoom DATE SAF 35mm Film Camera w/Canon Zoom Lens 38-60mm 1:4.5-6.7 Camera (Grey/Black Color)

Product Information

The first model to switch from a prime, fixed-length lens to a dual-lens system was the Canon Sure Shot Telemax. I brought my Canon SURE SHOT MULTI TELE (yes, ALL CAPS) on my trip around Europe as my main “pocketable” camera. My love for half frame might seem a little counter intuitive, since part of the reason I love shooting film is the care and attention to detail when composing an image.

The wide angle/telephoto rocker switch to the right of the viewfinder felt intuitive and was springy without feeling cheap. And of course, there are still quite a few nice images (if I do say so myself) so don’t dismiss half frame as a format!While it shares a focal length of 38mm with prior models, this version was changed to a max aperture of f/3.

The SLR was too big, my lenses were too expensive, I didn’t want to bring a whole bag and risk it getting stolen, etc. And by the time I’ve completed this mental checklist, the moment will have passed and the image has been lost to time. Released as a sibling to the model above, the specifications were essentially the same aside from the lenses. From the time of this camera’s introduction, the age of zoom compact cameras started to replace the single-focal-length compact camera market. The very few sample photos I was able to find taken using this camera gave me a bit of hope, but I wasn’t expecting anything special from a camera that came out while I was in junior high school.Weight: While every model is decently lightweight, the oldest model on the list weighs almost twice as much as the newest model.
