Canon's compact Sure Shot M — 35mm autofocus fixed-lens camera, program AE, sold as Prima Mini, 1993.
The Canon Sure Shot M is a compact fixed-lens 35mm autofocus camera from 1993, a smaller-bodied model in Canon's Sure Shot range. Canon sold it in Europe as the Prima Mini and in Japan as the Autoboy Mini, so the same body appears under all three names.
As a fixed-lens 35mm compact it takes no interchangeable lenses, so the mount fields are blank. It uses a fixed focal-length lens rather than a zoom, autofocus, a built-in automatic flash, and program automatic exposure, with motorised film transport. The camera is electronic and battery-powered, so it needs a charged cell to focus, meter and fire.
The Sure Shot M suits travel, street and everyday carry for users who want a small, simple prime-lens compact rather than a bulkier zoom. Its fixed lens keeps the body slim and quick to use, with the trade-off of no zoom reach and fully automatic control.
On the used market, check the film-door light seals for perished foam, inspect the fixed lens for haze or fungus, and confirm any status display reads cleanly without bleed. Test the shutter, autofocus and flash to confirm the electronics and film motor cycle, and examine the battery compartment for corrosion or residue from leaked cells.
