Launched by Canon in 1996 as the sleek successor in the Sure Shot / Autoboy line, the Canon Autoboy F XL (also known as the Canon Sure Shot Sleek / Prima Mini II) is a compact 35mm point-and-shoot that makes film photography effortless. Designed to be beginner-friendly while delivering great results for hobbyists, it pairs a sharp wide-angle prime lens with fully automatic exposure and useful convenience features.
✔ Sharp 32mm wide-angle prime lens – A 32 mm f/3.5 Canon lens gives punchy landscapes, street scenes and group shots without the need to zoom — ideal for everyday 35mm film use.
✔ Truly point-and-shoot simplicity – Auto-exposure, auto-advance and auto-rewind mean you load 35mm film and concentrate on composition. Perfect for beginners who want a film camera that “just works.”
✔ Intelligent autofocus & useful flash modes – Easy, reliable AF and a dedicated flash mode dial (including red-eye reduction options on some variants) help you nail shots indoors or at night.
✔ Compact, lightweight & pocketable – Measuring a mere 120 x 62 x 31mm and weighing a low 185g make this a true grab-and-go vintage camera for travel, parties, and everyday shooting.
