Canon Demi Rapid
The Canon Demi Rapid is a half-frame 35mm viewfinder camera from Canon's Demi series, which was introduced in the 1960s. It used the Rapid film loading system rather than standard 35mm cassettes, positioning it as a compact, quick-loading model for casual users.
Sales data for the Demi Rapid is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result in October 2024 sold for £25, so today's market price sits around that level at saleroom level. 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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Canon Demi Rapid worth today?
Based on a single UK auction hammer result, a Canon Demi Rapid sells for around £25, though with so little data the price for any individual example can vary considerably with condition.
How much does a Canon Demi Rapid sell for at auction?
The most recent UK auction result we have on record is £25 in October 2024; that is the only verified hammer price in our sales history for this model.
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.
