Hi!

I just got myself a Canon Sureshot A-1 for 20$. It looks like a Fisher Price camera... Here's some shots from a test roll (Kodak Gold 200). I really like the results and the pictures are quite sharp! I'm impressed!

I picked up one of those in a thrift store for $5 once and noticed it was pretty well built (and sealed) for an inexpensive camera. Judging by your photos I wish I had kept it.
 
Have you tried washing it off in a bucket of water as the advertising suggests? Said to be waterproof to 5m?
Surprising 32mm lens - that must be one of the shortest on a fixed lens camera.

After lusting for this Canon I got weatherproof Konica Off-road with 28mm lens. Not submergible, though, so I'm out of bucket contest.
 
I bought one new years ago for my teen son to take on a hiking-rafting trip. It has held up well over the years and still take it out during extreme weather conditions. Good luck and with this camera, lots of rain and snow.
