Name Canon Snappy 30, similar to the Canon EZ, Canon Snappy K, CB 35 or Prima Junior in Europe. So is this a super rare model, made only for a brief period by mistake? Or was it so awful that Canon doesn’t want to remember it? Either way, let’s take a closer look at the Canon Snappy 30. It looks like the Snappy 30 is a stripped down version of those models. I see plenty of Canon Snappy ‘EZ’ and Prima Juniors, but they do not exactly match my model, and have slightly different features.

I still get a kick out of running a roll through it every once in a while the technical image quality is pretty good, about the same as a top line $900 cell phone camera, but much quicker and easier to operate, and a whole lot less expensive pick up a nice copy on ebay for less than $10, or even less at a garage sale. When I bought it way back then I didn’t think I’d be using it almost 30 years later. At the time I thought I’d take a few rolls of what I needed, toss it in the drawer, and eventually it’d head to a garage sale or dumpster.
