One of the standout features of the Sure Shot Owl is its large, bright viewfinder, which is around 30% larger than those on typical point-and-shoot cameras, making it easier to frame shots, especially for users who wear glasses. The camera also includes a 35mm f/4.5 lens, known for producing sharp and clear images. It offers automatic focusing, automatic exposure, and a built-in flash, ensuring versatility for everyday photography situations.

With its lightweight, compact design and intuitive controls, the Canon Sure Shot Owl was designed to be an accessible, reliable option for anyone wanting to capture great photos without needing advanced technical knowledge.
