Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
c. 1997
This commemorative Canon Elph film camera is a limited edition piece produced to mark the 60th anniversary of Canon Inc. around 1997. The camera body is crafted from metal and finished with an 18k gold plating, giving it a luxurious and distinct appearance suitable for display.
It utilizes an Advanced Photo System (APS) film format. The camera is presented in a dedicated wooden display case, which features a plush green velvet interior lining and a commemorative plaque. The set includes a branded black leather carrying case, a matching leather wrist or neck strap for portability, and a small wireless remote control unit. While it was designed to function as an analog camera for taking pocket-sized photographs, its limited edition status and gold-plated construction mean it is primarily valued as a collectible display piece.
The overall presentation is completed by the original wooden box, which measures approximately 3 inches by 10.5 inches by 7 inches.
