2.0 out of 5 stars Canon Sure Shot 35/80mm Camera - Not So Sure, September 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon Sure Shot 38/80mm Camera - 80U (Electronics)

I bought this 3 years ago just before a vacation. At the time it was misrepresented as a zoom camera. It is NOT! What it is, is a dual lens camera. This means you have only 2 positions (35mm and 80mm) no other choice. It's not so bad but rather dissapointing when you expected zoom. Now to the type of pictures it takes.
This is not my first automatic camera - it is my fourth but the first COMPACT camera I've bought. I must warn you that it has some bugs. Some pics will be crystal clear, others blurred (for not apparent reason), some will be dark even if taken in sufficient light. All I can say is that I was not happy at all with my vacation photos and wished I had taken my heavy clunker automatic Pentax which has never failed me. The only thing I liked about this camera is the size - it weighs almost nothing and fit nicely in my shoulder bag.

2.0 out of 5 stars My First & LAST Canon, February 17, 2008

My sons and I purchased A Canon Sure Shot80 for Mom for Mother's Day. It's less than a year old and the time delay between the shutter opening and the time you actually push the button has slowly becoming a joke, but we're not laughing. The moment your trying to capture is lost while it tests the light, zooms and a 2-3 second delay for the flash. Where is a good ole' Yashica FX-2 when you need one? If there is a brand out there that lasts, is quality through and through and you would reccomend it after owning one yourself for a while, please pass me a note at [e-mail]. Thanks

I bought this camera and was very pleased for about a year until I went on vacation and could not take pictures. The digital display has an H. Instructions do not tell me what that means. I have tried batteries and film, but it will not take pictures any more. I thought the Canon name meant something.
