Canon 110 ED 20

The Canon 110 ED 20 was a Canonet-series automatic 35mm camera introduced in 1977. It featured aperture-priority automatic exposure, allowing users to select the desired f-stop while the camera handled the shutter speed automatically, based on readings from its CdS (Cadmium Sulfide) light meter. Designed for the enthusiast photographer seeking user-friendly operation without full manual control, it simplified the shooting process with its automatic features, though it likely lacked advanced functions like manual override. Typical for its era and Canon's positioning, it would have incorporated a fixed 40mm or 50mm lens and offered built-in flash capabilities for everyday photography needs.

Representing Canon's continued focus on accessible automation for the consumer market during the mid-1970s, the 110 ED 20 aimed to make 35mm photography straightforward and enjoyable for a broad audience. Its construction utilized standard materials like plastic and metal composites, prioritizing affordability and reliability over ruggedness, aligning with its intended use as a reliable point-and-shoot style camera for capturing snapshots, travel, and family moments rather than demanding professional or artistic pursuits.
