Known Issues for This Model (Canon Autoboy 2)

We believe in full transparency. Here are common issues specific to the Canon Autoboy 2, along with our findings:

  • Electronics (Power/Motor): The Autoboy 2 can suffer from power issues due to corroded battery contacts or internal motor failure. Our unit was tested and confirmed to power on and operate correctly. However, specific microscopic checks for contact corrosion or signs of overheating were not performed beyond general functional testing.
  • Shutter Malfunction: Shutters can become stuck. Our inspection confirmed the shutter operates correctly under various light conditions ("Shutter: OK").
  • Film Advance: Issues with film advance or a stuck film counter are known. Our testing indicated correct film advance functionality as part of "Work properly." However, specific dedicated tests with dummy film to check for unusual buzzing sounds or frame counter inaccuracies were not explicitly detailed.
  • Autofocus Failure: Consistently out-of-focus images can occur due to AF system issues. Our inspection confirmed the autofocus system works correctly ("AF/Helicoid: OK"), with the lens visibly adjusting focus.
  • LCD Display (Date Back): "Black bleed" or corrupted segments are common for the date display LCD. Our unit exhibits LCD bleed on the rear display, consistent with this known issue.

Not Recommended For

This Canon Autoboy 2 may NOT be the ideal choice for:

  • Collectors or perfectionists seeking a cosmetically flawless camera, due to visible signs of use and the noted optical imperfections.
  • Enthusiasts requiring pristine optics, as the heavy fungus in the lens and viewfinder, along with coating peel, may affect image quality or viewing experience.
  • Users needing a perfectly clear date imprint, due to the LCD bleed on the rear display.
  • Buyers averse to potential future maintenance, given the model's known susceptibilities to specific electronics and film advance issues, which were not exhaustively detailed beyond general functional checks.
