35mm Equivalent Camera Appraisal

Canon Sure Shot 85mm AF-7U APS Film Camera

The item is a compact APS (Advanced Photo System) film camera, specifically identified as a Canon Sure Shot 85mm model. The 'AF-7U' designation is visible on the lower left of the camera body. It features a sleek, silver-colored plastic body with black accents around the viewfinder and flash area, indicative of early 2000s consumer electronics design. The camera has a built-in Canon Zoom Lens with a focal range specified as '28-85mm', centered prominently on the front. Below the lens, the marking '28-85mm' confirms its zoom capabilities. To the right of the lens, below the flash unit, the model name 'SURE SHOT 85mm' is clearly printed in red. Two silver-grey triangular control buttons are visible to the right of the lens, likely for zoom or other function adjustments. Above these buttons, there's a small, circular red indicator light and a larger circular sensor. The flash unit is integrated into the top right corner of the front face. The camera appears to be in good overall condition with some minor surface wear consistent with age and use, but no significant damage like cracks or deep scratches are discernible from the image. A black thin strap is attached to the camera, trailing off to the left. The general aesthetic and technology point to a late 1990s to early 2000s manufacturing period.
