From its gleaming elegance to its effortless operation,
Canon’s new Sure Shot Z155 will change the way you take
pictures.
The world’s smallest 4.2x zoom 35mm camera, it features
a powerful 37-155mm lens that makes shooting all of life’s
precious moments simple – the majestic sweep of a forest
at dawn or the face of a child in a school play. And Canon’s
3-point autofocus, ultra-precise auto exposure system,
built-in Light Guide Zoom Flash and 7-mode Best Shot Dial
give you the freedom to create.
The marvel is that Canon could deliver all this performance
in a camera so compact and lightweight. Note the sophisti-
cated metallic silver design richly embossed with a spiral
accent, the teal grip and the stylish shape. They make the
Z155 a delight to hold and to shoot. This is a camera made
for you. And you’ll amaze yourself at what you can do with it.
*As of February 2002.
