- An underwater / all-weather 32mm f/3.5 point and shoot camera?! Yes, please! The Canon WP-1 or SureShot A-1 camera had been on my list of compacts to try for years and I finally found a cheap on on KEH and pulled the trigger. Good enough for Fred Herzog, good enough for me.
Want to learn how I actually use this gear and run a successful wedding and elopement photography business?

My grandma bought this camera for my mom back in the 90s and now I am using it
Is it still working?
I just did some research and the WP-1 is NOT an underwater camera, it is weatherproof. there is a camera that looks almost identical to the WP-1 that is called the AS-1 which has the underwater capabilities.
thank you so much I just realized that I have the WP-1 camera. I would have took it into a body of water
Fwiw, I’ve taken mine underwater a ton of times with no issues, but never more than probably 5 feet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@adangarcia1046same lol
@@benjhaischi’ve checked manuals, urs (sureshot a1/prima as-1) has all the capabilities, the manual for the WP-1 however, says it is only able to have rain and water splashes for it is NOT an underwater camera at all.
Thanks a lot for this review, I have been eyeing one available in a shop for a while now, and just took the leap and bought it :) !
I am so in love with your video's so well made!!! and they inspire me to get out even in these times..
This looks like it would be perfect for a vacation near water! What a cool little camera.
I'm multi-published and i have used this cam for some of my favorite shots. it's really robust and you can just take it anywhere. I like the flash function. it auto rewinds too.
Nice vid!!! My aunt just gave me one of the first sure shot Wp-1 that used to belong to my uncle when he was in the navy in the 90’s (makes sense thats waterproof lol) turned it on and it works. Can’t wait 2 get some cool shots w this.
Just pulled mine out of a drawer after many years, I’ve put a new battery in and I’ll give it a go 😄
Omg same!!!
dont keep junk you dont use man it could be another mans treasure gimme gimme
@@BartholomewJenkins69420 where do you live ? Are you in the U.K. ?
im going to be doing the same with mine. it has served me well.
This is interesting! I have never seen this camera before! The images turned out amazing for a $30 camera! 🙌🏼
I love my SureShot A-1, according to the Canon Camera Museum they were 42,000 yen (over $406) new in 1994 so it wasn't cheap, at all when it was new. I find the thing produces excellent images.

Canon A1 Sure Shot and WP1 are two different cameras.
The A1 is waterproof.
The WP1 is only weatherproof.
I have both cameras and I am the original owner of both.
I am enjoying your videos.
Ah nice! I wasn’t able to find that when I was researching really quick, good to know!
I just made a video where I found one of these in a huge camera haul! Can’t wait to try it out!
Hi greetings from Austria. I got this Camera in the 90's from my parents as a birthday present. And i still have it. Maybe i shout buy a roll of film and make some nice pictures. Thanks for making this Video because i totally forgot that i still have this camera.
great video of a cool little camera!
great video and awesome pictures. Thank you :)
Thank you too!
I’ve ben looking a for cheaper film camera to take on my vacation. Thanks for the very informative video!
Saw Fred using this in the documentary some years back. Sensible camera in the rainy NW US/SW Canada!
just got this at the thrift store for $10! can't wait to see if it works
Great review. I just picked this camera up at my local Goodwill for 10 bucks. I didn’t realize what I had until I started checking reviews out. Looking forward to putting some film through it.
Hey, I just got my self a Nikonos IV and I'll be using it in a couple of weeks, however... does anybody have some tips for manual focusing and lightning (flash vs video lights) underwater?
Thanks!
Went hunting for one of these after I saw that same Fred Herzog film.
Fun Camera.
I have one. This camera is very nice!
Hello, these were great shots! What film did you use ? && did you use the flash or leave it off for most of shots ?
can you make a video about all your gear? I am very intrested!
Heh, my uncle got a sureshot wp1 back in the 90s b/c of those Marlboro miles and gave it to my family as he wasn't going to use it. Recently decided to dig it out of the crate of stuff I have and sure enough it fired right up with a new battery. Has an expired roll of 800 iso film that my mom had put in but never used lol.
What film roll did you use when you took photos during the snow?
Epic!
I’m into it.
Cool video! Am i tripping or was this camera actually retailed at $40 a couple years ago?? I just bought one for $120 , and I’m seeing them go for $140-$200 now!!!
May i ask what film did you use? 😊
I have the same camera, I bought it a couple of years ago for just $300 mexican pesos (that´s 14 dls I think)in super neat conditions. It´s like a playskool camera, but trust me If you find one you should not hesitate to buy it.
Donde la conseguiste? En ML estan arriba de los 2,000 pesos
@@NoePisteado la compré en un grupo de fotografía analoga de México. Una gran camara
I saw your video and I fell in love with the camera, I live in Brazil so I went to search to buy and to my surprise, the price was R$1000 (approximately $ 200) and wow ... hahahah
Hello!!! Film won’t load. And the frame counter stucked at letter S. Any tips? The flash works fine, though. Its just that I cant use it because the film wont load 🥲
Might be worth making sure the film leader is pulled across far enough. The counter will reset to S when the back is opened , and the counter will only advance if the film has engaged properly . If you can get your hands on an old film just to check/practice with it might be worth it
whay film does it use?
I have a question about film photography in general, forgive me if you’ve already covered this before but I just found your channel a few days ago and subscribed!
I’ve been shooting digital for about 5 years now but was curious about film so I bought my first film camera this week, it’s a Nikon F3. My question is, do you develop your own film or is there a place you would recommend that I can send my film to be developed?
Well... I'm not the one you asked, but in my experience, it depends on what you shoot and what do you plan to do with those images. If it is some professional or important work, better to have the roll developed in a pro lab, if it is just personal stuff, develop them yourself (you'll need at least a scanner besides the developing tank). Also, after some time developing and printing my own images... I find te whole dark room experience to be as (if not, more) funny than the actual shooting.
State Film Lab in Louisville is my go to for film i dont develop myself.
I was hoping to know how does the macro works 😅
Em vừa được ông chú tặng cái máy này khi mở ra ô nắp chứa phim thì mới chụo được còn đóng lại thì không và cuộn phin cũng không tự động cuộn lại là bị gì vậy
Yall I have a question. Do you encounter any Issues with a 36exp Film Roll? Some People told me its to "weak" to rewind the whole roll and recommended me to only use 24exp rolls.
I’ve never had that issue
I love this camera especially for street photography because people just think I’m shooting with a kids toy camera
I just started using it more again. Such a fun little thing
@@benjhaischyes totally agree!
As1 and wp1 is the same camera. It had been produced in Japan and after three years, production moved to China. China factory had problem with narrow toleranes and could not meeting spec.
To avoid claim, Canon decided to change ip rating to lower.
I have this camera. ❤️❤️
I'm very lucky, cz i bougth mine canon AS-1 waterproof for R$50 ( 9 dollars). I didn't use yet, but its almost in perfect state.
I had the nikonos v and want it again, but the big advantage to this canon is weight. The nikonos is a literal brick and not as much fun to bring along.
What film stock do you typically use for this camera?
Depends on the weather but gold 200 or ColorPlus 200 are favorites
QUESTION WHAT BRAND OF FILM DID Y YOU USED ON THE REFERENCE PICS HAHAH
I believe these were UltraMax 400 for most?
HELP !!
what film should i buy for this camera ??
I love Kodak Gold 200 :)
Does this camera record ?
It’s a film camera so no
Wow i am getting this. The pictures came out beautiful. But im gonna wait until i see one for cheaper like $30. All i see is $100 and over.
I got this camera for 2 euros on a flea market stand
where did you get this camera from?
Deep dive...
I bought it for 30 dollars (ME LOOKING AT 200 PRICE)
KEH Ugly = eBay [Exc++++++++++]
Exactly hahaha
ugly condition probably means a bit beaten...but it's just ugly. 😄
