Canon Snappy 50
The Canon Snappy 50 is a compact camera, introduced in July of 1982, for the "budget conscious photographer." The Snappy 50 would be but the first of about 16 different Snappy cameras that Canon would produce over the next decade and a half. Any compact camera with a fixed lens is noteworthy; in the case of the Snappy 50, it is a 35mm f/3.5. The rest of the camera is pretty automatic: focus, exposure, and film advance are all completely controlled by the camera. Photographer controls are limited to switching the ISO between 100 and 400 and turning the flash on. There is a built-in shake warning indicator that lights up in the viewfinder, informing the photographer that flash is needed.
The camera has a bit of a weird profile. Canon reduced the height of the camera by 30%, the end result being a camera that is slightly shorter but also slightly longer. The bottom of the camera is not flush, like most cameras. If you look close, you can see that the protruding battery door on the left, which serves as one "foot." While the right "foot" is actually the release for the back door, which pulls down to open the camera.
