Canon Prima Zoom Shot AiAF

The Canon Prima Zoom Shot is a 1995 pocket compact — sold as the Autoboy JUNO in Japan and the Sure Shot 60 Zoom in North America. It is the kind of camera Canon made millions of and nobody thought twice about at the time: a short 38-60mm zoom that retracts flush into the body, Canon's 5-point AiAF to handle focus, and automatic everything else. Thirty years on, that unfussiness is exactly the appeal — load a roll, drop it in a pocket, and shoot.

Fully working and very clean, with its pouch and strap. The 38-60mm range is short by compact-zoom standards, which is the trade for a lens that sits flush and a camera that genuinely fits a pocket. A straightforward, inexpensive way into shooting film.
