Canon Prima 5
The Canon Prima 5 is a 35mm autofocus compact camera, part of Canon's Sure Shot/Prima line of point-and-shoot film cameras. It was positioned as a consumer-grade compact for everyday photography.
Sales data for the Prima 5 is extremely limited, with a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £35 in 2023. Today the model sits at the budget end of the compact-film market, and its value at saleroom level is modest, though clean working examples with original packaging can sell for slightly more in the wider used market.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.
