Canon Sure Shot WP-1 / A1 Waterproof 35MM Film Camera - 32MM F3.5 Prime Lens, Autofocus & Built-in Flash (Renewed) - Perfect for Beach, Pool & Outdoor Adventures

I had my eyes on this camera for some time. Bought through Amazon renewed with hopes it would be a well renewed camera. The first WP-1 I bought broke within 2 days. The key locking mechanism that allows the camera to load the film broke. Amazon was curious and sent a replacement as soon as I shipped out the return. After receiving the new camera, it didn’t come with a case or a strap like the original I received. Worked just as good as the first until the locking mechanism broke mid photo shoot today after 1 reel of film. Clearly something that hasn’t been renewed and something that continues to break. The most disappointing part of this is the wasted film I had, and the fact that I can’t get product support a second time. I have to contact canon for a camera they haven’t made since 1994. I’m kind of out of luck and Amazon doesn’t provide any support the second time around even when I’m dealing with the same problem as the first one. A lot of money for something that doesn’t hold up. Disappointed in the ’certified renewed’ tag from Amazon. These clearly aren’t renewed and are simply old cameras held in a warehouse shipped out to someone who will spend the extra money on something promised as renewed. Canon won’t provide support on this item either even though I’ve had 2 back to back break from simple loading film.
