Canon: Sure Shot 80u (Prima Zoom 80u / Autoboy N80)

Postby bill339 » Sun Jul 23, 2017 4:21 pm

One of Canon's last 35 mm compact cameras, the 2003 Sure Shot 80u in America (Prima Zoom 80u in Europe, Autoboy N80 in Japan) from 2003 integrates a 2x zoom in a compact silver case. The lens is a 38–80 mm f/4.7–9.4 (6 elements in 6 groups, including an aspherical lens element) with a focusing range of 0.6 m to infinity (close-up mode: 0.45 m). It also has shutter speeds of 1/480 of a second to 2 seconds and capable of using 25 to 3200 ISO DX coded film. The AF system has a passive 3-point dual AiAF, with spot AF and continuous AF modes. The camera has a built in flash with auto adjust and automatic fill flash, separate lamp for red eye reduction. The shooting modes are Auto, action, night portrait, portrait, close-up, and real-time release. The 80u also has automatic film rewind setting, centre-point AF, continuous shooting (1 frame/sec), Zooming viewfinder with 0.37x–0.88x magnification, built in lens cover, ¼” 20 thread tripod socket, mid-roll rewind, flash ready LED, 5/8” by 1” LCD menu screen, self-timer button, red eye reduction button, mode button, and a handy carry strap. The dimensions and weight are 107.2 x 58.7 x 42.8 mm, 185 g without the 3V CR2 Lithium battery. Everything about the u series cameras was designed to make picture taking stress-free. The placement of the cameras operation button is so intuitive and natural that you will feel at ease shooting with just one hand.
