The Canon Snappy LX (Prima BF in Europe, BF 35 in Japan) of March 1992 was a 35mm compact camera for budget-conscious photographers, and was part of the Canon Snappy series. It was the first fixed focus compact to have a red-eye reduction feature. An auto date model was issued in 1994 that was named the Snappy LX/Date (America), BF35 QDN (Japan), and Prima BF-7/Date (Europe). The Snappy is a fully automatic compact camera with a large viewfinder, built-in flash, and a single focal length lens. The two-shot self-timer also lets you take two consecutive shots with a single self-timer operation. It has a 35mm, f/4.5 (3 elements in 3 groups) lens, three automatic shutter speeds: 1/45s, 1/60s, 1/250s, Integrated auto-flash (10m at ISO 100), DX-decoding of ISO film speeds 100-200/400, and a motor drive with auto advance and rewind. The camera is powered by two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries and sold for a suggested retail price of about $169.00 in the US. Other features were a built in flash, ¼’ 20 thread tripod mount, built in lens cover, and a handy carry strap. The series started in 1982 with the Snappy 20 and Snappy 50.
