We also verified the camera's focusing accuracy at the film plane using an autocollimator. The camera's cosmetic condition is very good (see photos). The only noteworthy flaw is a black small speck in the viewfinder (this does not affect the camera's photos or functionality). White gold trim and metallic lens rings give the design a very high quality feel."Īll camera features were tested with a battery and film installed (the film was not developed) and apart from the viewfinder issue mentioned above, it's working great. The lens retracts completely giving a clean, flat body. The result is an easy-to-use camera that produces excellent quality pictures. The large real-image viewfinder is easy to use even with eyeglasses, and an oversized mode dial controls the five shooting modes. The 2X zoom 38-76mm f/4.2-7.8 lens uses an aspherical element to correct aberrations and the 3-point AiAF insures correct focus even without a central subject. "Replacing the Autoboy Juno / SURE SHOT 60 ZOOM / PRIMA ZOOM SHOT marketed in October 1995 this model features an excellent quality objective lens, a well-balanced high quality, user-friendly design, and excellent cost-performance through innovative cost-conscious design. Here's the description from the Canon Museum: The Sure Shot 76 Zoom was called the Prima Zoom 76 in Europe and the Autoboy Luna 76 in Japan. This is a later and good quality model in the great Canon Sure Shot series of point-and-shoot 35mm cameras. In other words: you always see a 58º field of view, but if fully zoomed in to 76mm, the camera 'sees' a 31º field. This doesn't affect photos but you need to be mindful if you decide to zoom in the lens, the actual photo framing be narrower than the viewfinder display. Note: This Prima Zoom 76 has an issue where the viewfinder display doesn't zoom in (it stays at the default 38mm position).
