The Canon Sure Shot 70 Zoom is a compact and stylish 35mm point-and-shoot camera from the 1990s. It features a sharp 35–70mm f/4.2–7.8 Canon zoom lens, active autofocus, and built-in flash in a sleek clamshell design. Ideal for everyday snapshots, travel, or street photography.
This unit has been tested and is currently working, with a new CR123A lithium battery installed. The lens is clean, the motor advances and rewinds film properly, and the flash fires as expected.
Thanks — here's the revised version including that clarification:
Please Note:
This camera was originally non-functional due to corrosion in the battery compartment. After a thorough cleaning and light repair work, it is now operating approximately 90% reliably. Occasionally, the camera may not power on immediately when opening the clamshell, but closing and reopening it typically resolves the issue.
The rear LCD displays also show intermittent issues: sometimes they function normally, but other times they appear faded or partially scrambled, as shown in the product photos. This does not appear to impact the core shooting functions, but it may affect usability of the date or caption features.
Due to these quirks, we are offering a 30-day return window for a full refund on this particular camera. Buyer is responsible for return shipping.
As with all vintage electronics, these cameras are 30+ years old and may require a little extra TLC and patience. A gentle touch and understanding of how older mechanisms behave will help ensure the best shooting experience. This unit is priced accordingly with these known issues in mind.
