Canon Prima Sol

This is Canon Sol made by Canon starting in March 1995.  The del Sol was part of Canon’s highly successful Sure Shot series and is notable as being the very first completely solar powered camera.  Using a large fold down tandem amorphous solar panel that covers nearly the entire front of the camera, the camera’s rechargeable lithium battery would charge when exposed to sunlight.  The name “del Sol” is how it was branded in the US, but it was also called the Prima Sol and Autoboy SE in Europe and Japan.
