What it is
{"overview":"The Canon Demi Rapid is a half-frame 35mm viewfinder camera from Canon's Demi series, which was introduced in the 1960s. With only one recent record, it is difficult to state a reliable range for what a Demi Rapid is worth, and condition and working order will swing the value significantly either way.","buying_guide":"The Rapid loading system is the main practical concern, as Rapid film cassettes are no longer manufactured and require respooling from standard 35mm stock. Inspect the selenium or CdS meter for responsiveness, check the shutter at all speeds, and look for haze or fungus in the viewfinder and lens. Service support for the Demi series is limited, so buy a working example rather than relying on a repair.","specs":"The Demi Rapid is a half-frame camera (producing 18×24mm frames on 35mm film) using Canon's Rapid cassette loading system.

Questions
Is the Canon Demi Rapid still usable?
It can still be used, but because it takes Rapid cassettes rather than standard 35mm canisters, you will need to respool film into reusable Rapid cartridges to shoot with it.
