Canon Prima AS-1 - Waterproof camera - 35mm - lens: 32 mm
My dad gave this to me a couple of years back. Got to use it a couple of times, then everything went digital, and this hummer of a camera got forgotten... last I saw it used to retail for around 9k.
Some of the best picture opportunities occur in places where you would not risk carrying an ordinary camera. But the Canon Prima AS-1 is no ordinary camera. It can be used on a beach, in snow, in rain, and even underwater. It is safe to use it underwater at depths to 5 meters (and it will float to the surface if you let go). Above water, go anywhere, without taking any special precautions. If it becomes muddy or dusty, simply rinse it in a bucket of tap water. Built into one of the smallest and lightest 35mm underwater cameras is a large viewfinder with a high eye-point. This makes it easy to view and compose the image even when wearing sunglasses, ski goggles or a diving mask. Above water, the Prima AS-1 uses AI-AF 3-point active autofocusing. The 32mm f/3.5 lens focuses from 0.45 meter to infinity. Underwater, the camera switches automatically to fixed focusing, two fixed focus settings are available. Built-in flash allows the Prima AS-1 to be used at any time of the day or night. It can be set to fire automatically whenever the conditions are too dark for daylight photography. A small mini-lamp will illuminate the subject for approximately a second before exposure to reduce the risk of red-eye effects.
