I suppose the Canon Snappy Q falls into the "ugly camera" niche:

It certainly takes some styling cues from the Zoom XL. And then melts them. They both came out about the same time, Sept 89 for the XL and Oct 89 for the Q.Greyscale, that Canon Snappy Q resembles also their advanced camera with a quality zoom lens...how it were called? Looks like Q is simplified version of it.
Dave, can you entertain us with some details on this one? Injection molded or stuff like that 🙂
