Canon's big-finder Sure Shot Owl — 35mm autofocus fixed-lens compact, program AE, 1994.

The Canon Sure Shot Owl is a fixed-lens 35mm autofocus compact from 1994 known for its large, high-eyepoint viewfinder, from which the Owl name derives. Canon sold related versions under the Prima name in Europe and the Autoboy name in Japan, so the body appears under more than one label.

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 oversized viewfinder is its defining feature, aiding users who wear glasses. It is battery-powered and electronic, so it needs a live cell to fire.

The Sure Shot Owl suits beginners, travel and general use, and is especially friendly to spectacle wearers thanks to the big bright finder. It is simple and quick to use, with the trade-off of a fixed prime lens and fully automatic exposure and focus.

On inspection, check the film-door light seals for perished foam, look through the fixed lens for haze or fungus, and confirm the large viewfinder is clean and the status display reads without bleed. Test the shutter, autofocus and flash for correct cycling, and examine the battery compartment and door for corrosion or leak residue.
