Canon Sure Shot Manuals
Canon got into the Point and Shoot camera market with the Sure Shot film cameras. This series began as very simple but automatic cameras but quickly evolved into sophisticated photographic equipment. There is no question that, with the exception of the G Series, they were entry level cameras aimed at the mass market and for millions of people they offered everything they wanted and more.
Later PowerShot camera manuals are easy to find because Canon websites still make them available. But with the earlier models, like the Sure Shot cameras, these manuals have long ago disappered from Canon websites and they are much harder to find. As a result, this listing is incomplete.
