Haven't done a point & shoot for a while so here is the Canon SURESHOT Owl. The main feature with this camera is the big viewfinder. Canon says it is three times the size of a conventional viewfinder and can easily be used by someone wearing eyeglasses. All the modes are on one fairly large sized dial.
The Owl seems like it was a pretty okay camera for taking pictures of your cats or kids.
I thought this was an interesting picture. I didn't see the bird when I took it.
I can't think of much else to say about this camera other then in its day it did its job. I will add that I think that it is one of the more appealing looking plastic point & shoots. I don't think it comes through that well in my photo, however in person the camera does have the look and feel of a little owl.

The major camera makers puked out unattractive autofocus/autoexposure 35 mm cameras by the bazillions in the 90s. It's like it was a lost decade in photography.
ReplyDeleteI'm probably one of the rare people that they hold some appeal for. I wasn't paying that much attention to photography back then so I don't know what the motivation was for making all these cameras. Just the ones with the Vivitar name seem like they could reach infinity.
