Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon Sure Shot Owl is a lightweight, fully automatic point-and-shoot camera. It offers a 35mm f/4.5 optical glass lens equipped with three-step autofocus technology to give you sharp images from as close as 2.6 feet. The Canon Sure Shot Owl also provides an oversized viewfinder that's three times wider than a normal viewfinder, allowing for easier-to-see images and easier focusing--especially for people who wear glasses. The simple-to-use mode dial lets users quickly switch to one of four built-in flash modes, including red-eye reduction and a self-timer mode. The Canon Sure Shot Owl offers a choice of four shutter speeds and also features built-in autoexposure, auto film load, and auto speed setting with midroll rewind possible.

The Canon Sure Shot Owl's body measures only 4.9 by 2.9 by 1.8 inches and weighs nine ounces with batteries, so it's compact and light enough to slip into a pocket or purse. Its sleek metallic finish adds to its elegant design.

Canon offers a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

While I tend to prefer the Elph line myself, this camera fills a niche that's often overlooked. Anyone who's tried to look through a camera viewfinder and had to squint, or just gave up and tried to aim it looking over the top will appreciate this camera. The viewfinder is huge, and the camera is easy to use. I think both kids and the older population would appreciate this feature. Sadly, it doesn't use APS film, which comes in an easy-load canister and would be better for people with vision difficulties or arthritis, but I guess the people at the camera store could reload it for them when they brought in the roll to have it developed. All in all, a great product for a specific market.

I bought the model which also has date printing(but is about $10 more). This camera is pretty decent, but I think that it is a bit expensive considering there is no zoom, or date printing. I definitely recommend Sureshot Owl Date camera model. Keep in mind that this camera is for the most basic of camera users. The larger viewfinder is definitely a neat idea. See my review for the date camera.
