Chronology of cameras Canon 

The Prima series was Canon's line of consumer compact cameras for nearly 20 years. Although the first model to bear the Prima name was the Prima Tele in 1988, the Top Shot in 1986 already foreshadowed the series. In fact, its American name is SureShot Supreme, with SureShot being the American equivalent of Prima.
These cameras are all easy to use (point and shoot), generally inexpensive. They are mostly made of plastic, with manufacturing often outsourced to China.

It has Canon's 'mode dial' which provides settings for auto, auto red eye reduction, flash on, flash off, 'real time' shooting (no shutter lag), self timer. and off. The lens contains one aspherical element. The zoom function is operated by the two large buttons on the front. The camera will only focus at 5 focal lengths.
