Canon's Sprint — compact fixed-lens 35mm autofocus point-and-shoot, 1985.
The Canon Sprint was a 1985 fixed-lens 35mm autofocus compact in Canon's range of automatic point-and-shoot cameras. It was a small, lightweight everyday camera aimed at casual users, sitting among Canon's mid-1980s compacts alongside the Sure Shot models.
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 includes a built-in flash. Confirm the exact focal length and maximum aperture from the specific example.
The Sprint suits general, travel, beginner and street use, offering point-and-shoot simplicity in a small, easy-to-carry body. It is aimed at casual everyday photography where convenience matters more than manual 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 and test the film advance and rewind.
