Canon Photura by Casual Camera Collector (Image rights) |
The Canon Photura was an oddly-shaped 1990 model from Canon's very successful Sure Shot range. It was shaped more like a video camera. This 35mm film camera was known as the Epoca in Europe and Autoboy Jet in Japan. It had a 35-105mm zoom lens, and a powerful built-in flash.
In 1992, Canon introduced a follow-up model - the Photura 135 - which came with a 38-135mm lens.
