Canon Sure Shot 115u II CameraThere is still quit a big demand for 35mm cameras out there, the major camera companys are still making them and recently Canon announced the Canon Sure Shot 115u II 35mm Camera, it is a pocket sized camera, that features a 3x optical zoom, three point Smart Autofocus, six shooting modes and a 38-115mm zoom lens that capture dramatic close-ups or distant landscapes with one touch. This camera is available now for an estimated selling price of $89. www.usa.canon.com.
A Powerful, Pocketable Package:
The camera's striking lines are just some of the upgrades to this deceivingly small 6.9 oz powerhouse. A sleek and stylish tri-tone metallic blue and polished silver colored case surround the camera and its powerful 3x (38mm-115mm) lens made with Genuine Canon Optics, containing an aspherical element for low distortion, excellent optical quality and clarity and compact size. A built-in date function also lets the user automatically imprint the date on the image in a variety of styles so a moment is never forgotten.

The camera includes a Light Guide Flash that automatically fires in low light and backlit conditions for proper exposure under most shooting conditions. The Light Guide Flash also includes a built-in red eye reduction function. This custom menu features settings for real time shutter release, to minimize shutter lag when the flash is turned off, as well as the ability to memorize flash mode settings.

New PIC Modes Taking great pictures in most conditions is a snap with the Canon Sure Shot 115u II camera's Programmed Image Control (PIC) modes. Catch a tee-off mid-swing with the action mode, or take a group shot on the green with the portrait mode. Take the camera to the school play and watch as low light mode makes great images, or get detailed close-up images with the macro mode. New to the camera is the Real Time Release Mode, which fires a shot off in 0.03 seconds to catch the most unexpected of cameos when the flash is off. The camera also features a fully automatic mode to make picture taking a breeze.
