Looking for a simple, reliable 35mm camera you can just point and shoot? The Canon Autoboy Lite 2 (also sold as the Sure Shot Joy and Prima 4 in some markets) is a fully automatic compact from Canon's popular Autoboy line, pairing a sharp 35mm f/4.5 lens with built-in flash for effortless point-and-shoot ease - perfect for beginners, everyday film photography and anyone who wants great 35mm results without a learning curve.


✔ Compact & pocket-friendly – Weighing just 285g (without battery), the Autoboy Lite 2 keeps a light, compact body that's easy to slip into a coat pocket or bag, so it's ready whenever a moment happens.

✔ Sharp 35mm f/4.5 lens – A fixed 35mm lens delivers crisp, natural framing for everyday shots, portraits and street scenes without any fuss.

✔ Fully automatic exposure & focus – Active infrared autofocus and fully programmed auto-exposure handle the technical work, so you can concentrate on composition and just shoot.

✔ Built-in automatic flash – A built-in flash fires automatically in low light, so portraits and indoor shots come out properly exposed with zero extra effort.

✔ Unique multi-shot self-timer – A rear switch lets you fire off 1 to 4 consecutive frames with a single press, making it easy to get everyone (including you) into the shot.


The Canon Autoboy Lite 2 is a brilliant first film camera for anyone who wants genuine 35mm results without complicated settings. Simple, compact and fully automatic, it's the kind of point-and-shoot that makes film photography feel effortless.

Grade

Grade: We grade every camera carefully so you can shop with confidence, knowing exactly what you’ll receive. Each one is thoroughly tested to ensure it works as intended, and our grading scale helps you understand the overall condition and any minor imperfections that distinguish it from a like-new example.

  • Grade 10 – Near Perfect: Near-perfect, minimal to no wear, flawless functions, crystal-clear lens.
  • Grade 9 – Excellent: Lightly used, faint scuffs, fully functional, clean lens.
  • Grade 8 – Great: Normal signs of use, minor surface marks, fully functional.
  • Grade 7 – Good: Well-loved with visible wear or small quirks, but everything works as it should.
  • Grade 6 – Fair: Heavier wear and noticeable imperfections. It may also have minor functional quirks or imperfections, but it is fully functional and full of character.
