Canon Demi EE17 half-frame retro compact camera

Top-of-the range Canon half-frame camera with automatic and manual exposure control

To compete with Olympus, Canon produced the Demi range of half-frame cameras starting in 1963. The Demi has a beautiful curved aluminium body, very small and easy to slip into a pocket and take anywhere.

Being a half-frame camera it uses standard 35mm film (available everywhere), but it takes each photo on only half of the negative. This means that you get double the photos from each film - a huge 72 photos from a regular 36 exposure film.

If you get your films developed and just scanned, then most labs will not charge you any extra which makes this camera an awesome choice for keen photographers on a budget.

The EE17 is one of the finest half-frame cameras made with a host of features:

• f/1.7 lens
• Viewfinder display shows the aperture that the camera is selecting (in automatic mode), plus the lens focus setting
• Shutter-priority automatic mode
• Full manual mode
• Full aluminium body
• Self-timer

To take a photo with the correct exposure simply set your chosen shutter speed and the camera automatically selects the right aperture.

It also has the 'B' shutter speed setting, if you are taking night photos (best to use a tripod too).
