In 1986 the Canon Sure Shot Supreme was voted European Camera of the Year, and it’s just as good today. While we’re on the topic of batteries, the battery door of the Sure Shot Supreme is large and attached to the camera with tiny screws, which is excellent, since flimsy battery doors are often the failure point of many plastic point and shoot cameras of the era. It uses a 2CR5 lithium battery, which means that it’ll shoot for a long time between reloads. These numerous features make it one of the larger cameras on this list, but its ergonomic curves make it one of the easiest to hold and shoot one-handed.

Other features include a user-selectable flash, autofocus with available pre-lock, automatic ISO setting from 50 to 1600, a big and bright viewfinder, status LEDs for focus, flash, and low light, and a self-timer. This four-element 38mm F/2.8 makes punchy, sharp images, even in low light (when loaded with the right film). For shooters who want the tiniest film camera with an excellent lens, the Minox is king.Ĭanon Sure Shot Supreme – This point and shoot from Canon is teetering on the verge of becoming another cult classic like the Olympus Mju II before it, and it’s gaining ground in the minds of photo geeks for the same reason as the Olympus – it’s got a fast and sharp lens. As with all electronic cameras, buy yours from a reputable seller who guarantees the camera to work, and it should do just that. Given its electronic auto-exposure and electro-mechanical shutter, concerns about longevity are valid (the same can be said about any Contax or other cult camera, remember). Its ISO setting is user-selectable from ISO 25 to 800, which makes the Minox a great camera for those who like to pull- or push-process their film.

It’s also no slouch when it comes to image-making, offering auto-exposure, a fast 35mm F/2.8 lens, and creative controls by way of manual focus and aperture control. Minox 35 EL – The Minox 35 EL is the smallest 35mm film camera in the world, which makes it perfect as a second camera or a travel, street, or night out point and shoot. Oh, and all of these cameras can be found priced between $25 and $99 on the used market. We’ve selected only reliable models that offer something special, and we’ve highlighted exactly what it is that makes each of these cameras worth owning today.
Here are a bunch of point and shoot cameras that we’ve experienced to be just as capable of making exceptional photographs as the big name cameras (in most situations).
But what’s important to know is that for every one of these expensive, hyped point and shoot cameras there are ten or twenty others that are damn near as good at one-tenth the price. Yes, the Contax T3 and the Olympus Mju II and the Yashica T4 are expensive cult cameras (whether they deserve to be so pricey is an argument that we’ve explored in plenty of articles and reviews). This is especially true when talking about point and shoot film cameras.
There are plenty of ways to lower the cost of shooting film without sacrificing quality. Hang out wherever people talk about film cameras and you’ll get the idea that shooting film is expensive.
