Canon's entry-level Sure Shot Joy — 35mm autofocus fixed-lens compact, program AE, 1988.

The Canon Sure Shot Joy is an entry-level fixed-lens 35mm autofocus compact from 1988, sitting near the bottom of Canon's Sure Shot line as a simple, low-cost point-and-shoot. Canon sold equivalent regional versions under the Prima and Autoboy names, so buyers may see the model listed under more than one badge.

As a fixed-lens 35mm compact it has no interchangeable mount, so those fields are blank. It uses a single fixed focal-length lens rather than a zoom, autofocus, a built-in automatic flash, and program automatic exposure, with motorised film advance and rewind. It depends on a battery for its metering, focus and shutter, so it will not fire with a dead cell.

The Joy is a straightforward beginner and everyday camera for snapshots, holidays and casual use, prioritising ease of use and a low price over features. Its fixed lens keeps the body small and simple, at the cost of any zoom reach or manual control.

When checking one used, look at the film-door light seals for perished foam, inspect the fixed lens for haze or fungus, and confirm any status display reads cleanly. Test the shutter, autofocus and flash to make sure the electronics and film motor still cycle, and check the battery compartment for corrosion or residue from leaking cells around the contacts and door.
