Description

The Canon Photura is a truly unique camera, in the sense that nobody ever copied it and Canon never made a sequel. It s a 35mm point-and-shoot camera with a 35-105mm f2.8-6.6 zoom lens, which is remarkably fast for a P&S, and not too far off what you d find in an SLR. Of course, the tradeoff is that your camera is gonna be essentially one big tube, approximately the size of a beercan, and you have to hold it like a camcorder. To Canon s credit, they made it look super weird and awesome, with a flip-out lenscap that also serves as the fresnel lens for the zooming flash. There s even a waist level viewfinder on top, kind of like the one in the Yashica T4, except not terrible. Basically, the Photura rules, there s nothing else like it, and you should buy it. This one s in excellent condition, with only very minor cosmetic wear. Battery included.

* they did make a Photura 135, which is a longer version with a 38-135mm f3.2-8 lens.
