Description — Canon WP-1
The Canon SureShot WP-1 is a 35mm point-and-shoot film camera from the 1990s, designed for shooters who want reliable performance in less-than-ideal conditions. Its water-resistant plastic body, measuring 125 x 75 x 55 mm and weighing just 350g, keeps things compact and manageable whether you're hiking, at the beach, or caught in the rain. The camera uses an infrared autofocus system for quick and effortless focusing, paired with an optical viewfinder for composing your shots.
A built-in flash is on hand for low-light situations, and the camera runs on 2x AA batteries — a universal power source that's easy to source anywhere. Film compatibility covers the ISO 100–400 range, working with the most popular and widely available 35mm film stocks on the market. With a mechanical shutter and fixed lens design, the SureShot WP-1 keeps operation simple and shooting intuitive.
