Canon MC
The Canon MC is a 35mm autofocus compact camera produced by Canon as part of its point-and-shoot range. It was aimed at casual users wanting a pocketable film camera with automatic exposure and focus.
Sales data for the Canon MC is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2022 sold for £44, so any current price guide is indicative rather than firm. With only one data point, today's value for a working example is best estimated in the same low double-digit range, and condition will heavily influence what the camera sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Canon MC worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record available, a Canon MC has sold for around £44 at hammer, so its value in 2026 sits in the lower double digits depending on condition.
How much does a Canon MC sell for at auction?
The only verified UK saleroom result on file shows a hammer price of £44, which gives a rough benchmark for what a working example fetches.
Is the Canon MC a good buyer's camera at this price?
At this price level it is an inexpensive entry into 1980s autofocus compacts, but buyers should factor in that servicing is impractical and a non-working example has little resale value.
