I spent most of my time in the nearby shopping centers looking for colorful subjects. We were all still encouraged to stay home, or close to home, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. I loaded some Fujicolor 200 into it and took it out into my shrunken world. Or check out all of my camera reviews here. If you like point-and-shoot cameras, also see my reviews of the Kodak VR35 K40 ( here), the Yashica T2 ( here), the Canon AF35ML ( here), the Pentax IQZoom EZY ( here), the Olympus Stylus ( here), the Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 ( here), and the Nikon Zoom Touch 400 ( here). It would have been a giant step up from the truly lousy 110 camera that was my main camera. I was a teenager when this camera was new and I would have been perfectly happy with one had I been able to afford one then. This camera sparked no joy, but there was nothing unpleasant about it. But it wasn’t objectionable to use that way. The batteries were fresh, so I assume this old, cheap camera is just on its last leg.
Also, as I used the camera, the auto-winder got weaker and weaker. The flash even flashed, but I didn’t try it more than once because it didn’t seem quite safe. The seller disclosed that, but I didn’t notice it in the listing. Mine came to me with the flash broken: plastic cover missing, flash unit dangling. You could get your Snappy S in black, red, green, or yellow. A red light blinks in the viewfinder when there isn’t enough light. Flash is integrated, and the camera automatically winds and rewinds film. The shutter operates from 1/40 to 1/250 sec. Exposure is automatic, but I couldn’t figure out what kind of system it uses. It offered middling specs, starting with a 35mm f/4.5 lens, a classic triplet of three elements in three groups. On the street these could be had for $50-60, which is about $120-150 today. When Canon introduced the Snappy S in 1985, it was among the earliest basic 35mm point-and-shoots.Ĭanon’s rationale was simple: get Canon quality at an attractive price. These two things finally killed the 126 and 110 film formats and opened the floodgates for 30 years of 35mm point-and-shoot cameras from bare bones basic to highly capable and fully featured. Meanwhile, thanks to the 35mm SLR, 35mm film had taken on the aura of quality photography.

In the early 1980s camera makers finally figured out how to make loading 35mm film foolproof.
