Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Canon Sure Shot 105 Zoom S Date puts the power of a 2.8x zoom right at your fingertips in an attractive, compact camera. Zoom from 38mm to 105mm at the touch of a button. The latest in a long line of high quality, easy-to-use and affordable compact cameras from Canon, the Sure Shot 105 Zoom S Date also features Canon's 3-point Smart Autofocus, Best Shot Dial, and Exposure Control. The high-speed 2.8x zoom lens lets you create dazzling pictures that will impress friends and family. At the touch of a button you can zoom in for richly detailed intimate close-ups. Then, zoom out for a bold wide-angle that captures the entire scene.

Canon's 3-point Smart Autofocus technology uses three focusing sensors to "read" the scene and automatically set the precise focus - even when your subject is off center. For more creativity, select Center 1-point focusing for precise focus of a single subject. With Canon's best shot dial, you've got 5 shooting modes to choose from right at your fingertips. Thanks to these modes, you'll always shot with confidence knowing you can handle any situation that comes your way. Choose from auto, portrait, night-scene, real-time release or spot metering mode.

By increasing the distance between the lens and flash unit, the retractable multi-mode light guide flash significantly reduces the "red-eye effect". Plus, the camera also features Canon's built-in Red-Eye Reduction mini-lamp that fires before the flash, virtually eliminating those spooky red eyes. You also have Slow-Sync for evenly illuminated nighttime pictures at the touch of a button. With the Sure Shot 105 Zoom S Date, you've got the ability to override the exposure to deliberately lighten or darken a photo. Setting the Exposure Compensation to +1.5 EV gives a lighter result -- ideal for portraits against a bright sky. The - 1.5 EV setting does just the opposite, darkening the scene for a dramatic effect.

Dioptric Adjustment allows you to adjust the camera to accommodate your individual eyesight and make shooting more relaxed and comfortable. With the Sure Shot 105 Zoom S Date, you have the ability to record the date or time right on the pictures. Programmed through 2049, you have the option of imprinting year/month/day, month/day/year, day/hour/month (24 hour display), or no imprint.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera!, July 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon Sure Shot 105 Zoom S Date 35mm Camera (Electronics)

I bought this camera the other day and thought it was great. I also recommend getting the kit, as the camera isn't very handy without a case. The camera takes great pictures, and they were great in both focus and clarity. However the shutter delay is a bit irritating, as it takes a while to take the picture after pressing the button (2-3 secs, however I'm not sure if its only my camera or part of the design. the camera fits snugly into the hand, and is lightweight. Overall I am very pleased by yet another great Canon product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Sure Shot Camera- takes out all the guesswork!, October 29, 2004

This review is from: Canon Sure Shot 105 Zoom S Date 35mm Camera (Electronics)

This is a camera for beginners and seasoned photographers alike. It's lightweight, easy to grab, point, and shoot- and takes great pictures every time! (Assuming, of course, you have composed a nice picture). This model has the zoom/date features, focus lock, self timer, auto flash, red eye reduction, real time release and slow syncho modes. Great for vacations, and a great price! I actually had two of these cameras, one for color, one for black & white! I was never disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, June 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon Sure Shot 105 Zoom S Date 35mm Camera (Electronics)

I have been sorely disappointed by this camera. It does not focus well at all and most of the pictures I have taken have come out blurry. In addition the flash lights up the pictures poorly. I figured that based on how nice pictures are that I have seen taken with the EOS rebel this would be a good buy. I was terribly wrong. It was a waste of money and I am going back to the very dependable Olympus stylus model I used to have.
