Canon's Sure Shot Zoom 105 — 35mm autofocus zoom compact to 105mm, program AE, 1991.
The Canon Sure Shot Zoom 105 is a fixed-lens 35mm autofocus zoom compact from 1991, its name referring to the long end of its zoom range at 105mm. Canon sold it in Europe under the Prima name and in Japan as the Autoboy, so the same body appears under all three labels.
As a fixed-lens 35mm compact it accepts no interchangeable lenses and the mount fields are blank. It has a built-in zoom lens reaching roughly 105mm at the telephoto end, autofocus, an automatic built-in flash, program automatic exposure, and motorised film loading, advance and rewind. It is battery-powered and electronically timed, so a live cell is required for it to work.
The Zoom 105 targets general travel and family use where the longer tele reach helps with portraits and distant subjects. It is easy to operate and offers useful framing range, with the usual compact-zoom limitation of a slower aperture as the lens is extended.
When buying used, check the film-door light seals for foam decay, inspect the zoom lens for internal haze or fungus and confirm it extends and retracts cleanly, and verify the LCD is free of bleed and missing segments. Test the autofocus and zoom motors for smooth operation, confirm the flash charges and fires, and inspect the battery door and contacts for corrosion.
