Canon's New Sure Shot / AF35M II — updated fixed-lens 35mm autofocus point-and-shoot, 1983.
The Canon New Sure Shot was a 1983 model in Canon's Sure Shot line of fixed-lens 35mm autofocus compacts, sold as the AF35M II in some markets. It succeeded the original Sure Shot, updating the body and features while keeping the automatic point-and-shoot format that defined the line.
This is a fixed-lens 35mm autofocus compact with a permanently mounted lens and no interchangeable mount. It focuses automatically rather than by coupled rangefinder or zone focus and uses automatic exposure with a built-in meter. The camera is battery-dependent for autofocus, exposure and film transport, and it has a built-in flash. Confirm the exact focal length and maximum aperture from the specific example.
The New Sure Shot suits general, travel, street and beginner use, offering point-and-shoot simplicity with automatic focus and exposure in a compact body. It is aimed at photographers wanting reliable everyday snapshots without manual settings, favouring convenience over control.
On the used market, check the foam light seals, which perish with age. Inspect the fixed lens for haze and fungus, since it cannot be replaced. As a battery-dependent autofocus camera, confirm it powers up, that the autofocus and film-wind motors run, and that the flash charges and fires. Look for battery-door corrosion, common on cameras of this era, and test the film advance and rewind.
