- A review of the Canon Sureshot Z135. This point and shoot 35mm camera has been by my side since I purchased it, one year ago. I take this camera with me everywhere I go because its just super reliable and versatile. If you are into zoom point and shoots then definitely check out this camera for yourself.

I feel lucky. I got two of these from a charity shop for a couple of quid each! One's boxed too.
That’s so good! Hope they produce some bangin photos for you
Awesome video, I can really tell you put in the effort and I love your style. Some great photos in there as well. Cheers for the review!
Impressive little camera with lots of useful features.👍
Just ordered one on ebay. I'm excited! I really needed a zoom P&S for a project I'm working on. The others I were looking at were the mju zooms, minolta freedom zoom etc, but this one I love the lens and it's not way overpriced! Thanks for the recommendation.
Amazing shots you've taken with this.
Love the comedic bits in here too 😂
I appreciate the nice comment. Thanks so much! 😊
@@LachlanBain you've got a great eye! Just subbed 😉 looking forward to more of your content
Thax broo! A friend gave me that camera and he never knew how good it is. It will be my new every day camera.
Hope you enjoy it!
Just discovered you trying to learn more about the camera, honestly underrated content mate, informative and jokes ✨
Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏
Great review mate. I just bought this online and can't wait for the delivery.
Thanks so much :)
Just found this a few weeks ago in a drawer, have been shooting with an older simpler point and shoot I found years ago, but this one seems to be way more advanced
Definitely has a heap of functions and settings haha. Hope it provides you with some epic photos!
Glad to see this nice video on a wonderful camera. Some of them say Caption on them and they will work with an inexpensive remote or an RC1. I have 5 total that I picked up when they were being dumped at thrift stores. All work great!
I got the caption version. Got it for $35 a couple of years ago. I wanted to shoot film but I already have a mirroless interchangeable lens camera so I wanted just a casual set and forget camera that takes good enough photos with that retro feel.
Love your work 👏
No I love your work 🙏
Sold my X100V (should of waited ffs) but mum had this one. I primarily do video but this little gem will come in handy when I can bring my kit to places.
thank you for putting up this review and providing such fabulous photos! i just placed an order for canon autoboy s2 which i found out it's actually the same camera now i cant wait for it to arrive and get my hands on
Thanks for the kind words! I hope you enjoy the camera as much as I did :)
i just bought this camera because of this video!!
Woooh! Hope you enjoy using it as much as I do.
You’re great thank u ❤❤
This video was so helpful! I had bought this camera from a shop awhile back and had forgotten all about it until recently. I notice not a lot of results come up when I look for CR123A batteries near me. Is this the only battery that is recommended for use in this camera or can other batteries be used? If so, what kind would you recommend? Thanks so much!
Lmao love the mini SKIT 😭
Thanks haha
Found one on the thrift store, although it seems broken. Also I would like to ask how you adapt the film digitally. Great video. Keep up the good work
nice video, liked your style.
Thanks 😊
Hi Lachland!!!
I have a question about the exposure, I’m a bit confuse with it
If I wanna shoot under the sun, do I have to put -1.5 or should I go up?
I’ll be shooting some pictures in Tahiti so is gonna be mostly sunny pictures :)
Thank you so much🙏🏼
just ordered one and wanted to know more about it in general as it's my first film camera. quick question. 1) does it have self timer? and 2) what film do you recommend for it? great video, loved it!!
Hey, no problem at all. Ask away
1) The camera has a 10 second self timer mode on the back. It will flash a little red light on the front to show you it is counting down. At 7:37 you can see a photo where I set the camera up on a ledge and then used the self timer mode so I could be in shot.
2) my favourite film stocks to use are Kodak Colorplus 200, Fuji C200 and Kodak Portra 400 (for more special occasions as it is expensive). I haven’t used much black and white film to be honest, but I’ve heard good things about Ilford HP5 and Kodak T-max.
Hi there! I was looking for a camera and then I found your video and got it from eBay 😂 thank you!! If I have questions on how to use the settings can I dm you?
What mode/s would you use if your trying to capture some photos at a punk show or something like that?
Great review, I've literally just bought one off the back of this. 😂
Thanks 😊
Nice video brother, I just bought this camera. and I had no idea about anything
Thanks so much!
Hi there what is the mean difference between
the z135,z115 and the 115?
I’m asking because I own the 115 and I want to know more about it.
Did you color grade your pictures in lightroom or are they straight
out of the camera? Because, they look stunning!
How would you compare it to the z115? How would they be different?
Love your video got mine from a charity shop for 5 pound ☺
Thank you! What a steal haha
Hey! I just found this camera in my house, it was of my father and I am very excited about taking photos with it, all my childhood pics where taken with it. I only got a question… I found the camera with a film that has been in there for at least 10 years, do you think I should take advantage of it or change it? I don't know how the film is after so many years
Hey, that’s super exciting. I would personally take advantage of that roll that’s already in there. Mainly because if you get it developed then there’s a chance you might find more childhood photos or important memories. Who knows what you might find haha. Could be garbage or it could be gold and that’s a risk I personally would be willing to take.
Maybe just finish the roll with taking some quick photos around home or something simple. Then move on to a new roll, hopefully when you get it developed and scanned you will find some old bangers still on there.
Your forgot to mention that the lens on this camera has 10 elements in 9 groups. Which pretty damn good for high quality photos.
A very good point, I did forget to mention this. Thanks for sharing
im trying to zoom in an out and it keeps making a very abrupt noise that it shouldn't be making. any tips?
Didn’t know who to ask! Quick question - my camera started flashing an E. I replaced the film thinking it would be fine but even with new film the screen starts to flash E. Kind of stuck and not sure what’s causing the issue. Any ideas? Canon sure shot caption z115
Were you able to fix the problem? Having same issue now :(
Hi! Is the canon sii more advanced than canon sii xl? :)
Hi i was woundering if you could help me ?
i do photography and i wanted to test and get into film photography but it's a complet different world and i am completaly lost .
i fancied begining with a point and shoot and after going through tones of tutorials and reviews i have managed to do a small selection and i can't decide between the Canon sure shot AF35MII , The Canon sure shot supreme and the canon z135 (i also wondered if the canon z135 gave a grainy look to the pics because i'm kind of looking for that look because i'll maily do b&w pics ). I am hoping that you can help me go though this choice
Thanks for your time
I am literally in the same position rn, which one did you buy in the end?
would you go for the z115 or z135? cheers!
You sold me on this camera , It just arrived today can’t wait to start shooting on it . What film did you use for 5:08 ? I’m obsessed with these shots
No way! Haha. I Hope you enjoy it. I used Kodak Portra 400 for those two photos of the Hay Plains in Aus. I don’t normally shoot Portra 400 on a point n shoot but it did come out super nice.
The main deal breaker for me is that the flash control is under a door, lol. I have the Canon Sure Shot Owl PF and it reverts to auto flash every time I turn it off and on. Every time I turn it on I have to press the flash button twice for no flash. Not a huge deal but it's irritating. If the button was behind a door I'd lose my mind. Other than that, it's very similar in specs to your camera (sans zoom}. I saw the Sure Shot Max and Telemax have a physical switch for the flash which is much better.
I definitely agree, a physical switch is much better when you need take the shot fast without the flash potentially ruining it.
You risk losing the candidness of a shot when you have to try and press those tiny buttons to turn off flash haha.
SOLD. 😍
Amazing video! New to film photography. What film would you recommend for this camera?
Thanks so much!
My favourite film stocks, (that aren't too expensive) are Kodak Gold 200 for Colour and Ilford HP5 or delta 400 for black n white.
I mostly just shoot these two options. I also love Kodak Portra 160 and 400 colour stocks but they are usually too expensive for my budget.
i got this frm my aunt ( prima super 135n caption) and shes using this scince released im using my first roll rn but im scared if its gonna look good (btw the flash is bright and sometimes if ur near you can feel the heat) you also forgot that if you zoom it in the view finder wont be aligned (also a con)
Can you set the aperture you want or the camera does not allow you ? In the end of the focal length is too closed almost sure i wont use it but up to the 50mm will be fine for me i guess.
You cannot set the aperture. You can do exposure compensation + or - 1.5 stops in the settings. But it’s all automatic. The photos are the sharpest at 38-50mm. It’s hard to find a zoom point n shoot with a good aperture.
@@LachlanBain Thanks i have some expired films and i will have a long trip from the eastern point of Europe to the west coast in Galicia Spain so i will try it :) .
I'm using this camera🤩, I would like to know how you send photos to your cell phone
Does it have film rewind and what film stock did you use for the nighttime shots?
Yeah it has both auto rewind when the roll is finished and a button if you need to rewind the film early. I used Kodak colorplus 200 that night.
hii, I just got this camera after I saw your video! But do you mind telling me how to unwind the film before you take it out?
Hi, The camera will auto rewind the film back into the canister for you after your last photo.
I just discover your chanel and I love it !
How did you develop your film ? By yourself or by a professional ?
Hey, thanks :). I get my film developed and scanned by a professional lab. I have developed some black and white at home but the labs do a much better job 😆
bonjour from france ! How did you get theses pictures on your computer please?
Bonjour! The process of getting the pictures from negatives to digital copies is all done by the film lab I use. I take my film (once exposed) to a professional lab that develops, scans and uploads the photos to a Dropbox folder. The link to that folder then gets emailed to me and I have my photos as jpegs or tiff files within 2-3 days after dropping the film off. This process might be a little different in France but you can always ship your film to a lab in another city if it’s easier.
I hope this helps :)
Ive seen a review video about the camera and she had an issue of it sometimes going out of focus for selfies/portraits, what are your best tips to fix this? Ordered myself this point and shoot and am super excited and hoping this isn’t a constant issue!
Hey Melina, the only times I’ve seen this camera miss focus is when I’ve tried to take a photo of myself in a mirror. For some reason the auto focus just can’t do mirrors very well, especially in low light situations.
Other then that this camera doesn’t miss a beat. It’s got no issues when it comes to shooting portraits of others or using self timer mode to capture yourself in the frame. Usually I just give the camera to friends and family, so they can take a photo of myself. The camera is just really easy to use which helps in those situations.
@@LachlanBain just noticed i purchased the z115 caption! Is there a major difference?
@@melinamedina6301 From what Ive seen online it is very similar in its specifications (shutter speeds, lightmeter, aperture). The lens zooms to 115mm instead of 135mm, so there is a bit less zoom. This is probably the main difference, all the functions and settings are still the same as the z135.
@@LachlanBain Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback!
tengo la misma cámara pero no sale el lente cuando le pongo las pilas (nuevas) y el rollo
Does the film auto rewind at the end of the roll
Yeah it does, quite fast too haha
what is your fav film to use for this camera or one i should start off with
Hey Jack, my favourite film stock to use with my point n shoot is Kodak colorplus 200. It’s on the cheaper side and gives good enough results for the photos that I typically take on this camera. Only problem is it’s super popular and often out of stock.
what film do you use in very bright condition (5:06)? And what setting? -1.5 EV or just auto?
and also in 6:10
@@villagerswithukulele8274 Hey there, I only ever use Auto mode when shooting in bright sun conditions (both examples you picked). The camera seemed to adapt well to bright conditions on its own. I haven't experimented shooting -1.5 EV in bright sun although it would be interesting to see what the results could be like, especially when shooting B/W film.
I have no issue with the camera's battery life at all. This is because I just found this camera in a box collecting dust, and legit the camera's LCD screen still showed the battery life (albeit 1 bar left and flashing) since it was last used more than a decade and a half ago.
Is the best for you?
detailed walkthrough please 🙏🙏
love the quality of your work by the way
Yo yo,Thanks a heap, what do you need to know.
Right now I’m working on a couple of other videos and I don’t think I’ll be able to make a walkthrough/guide. If you have any questions just ask away here or send me a message on insta.
@@LachlanBain maybe just more in depth on what settings to use based on the conditions would helpppp
im looking to buy one, still good or nah?
Hey Raul, sorry for the delayed reply.
In my opinion this point n shoot is definitely still good as long as you can find it in good condition.
The best photo results I got were when I shot at the wider angle (38mm). I would still recommend this point and shoot to those who want the extra features. It won’t beat a fixed focal length point n shoots sharpness like the mju i or Ricoh r1 but it is more versatile for sure.
And cheaper too haha
