This is a very basic compact camera. I got it for next to nothing in a thrift shop, so I tested it nevertheless. It was launched in 1997 as Snappy QT and as Prima BF-80 in Europe. A silver version and a date verion exist. There was a special edition of the BF-80 featuring the mascot Footix in 1998 for the soccer World Cup. Its main features are:

This camera is incredibly basic. You slide it open and push the shutter, that's all. There are no features except self-timer, flash on in backlight situations and flash off. All the rest is automatic. The camera has a fixed focus lens. The camera won't fire if there if not enough light when the flash is off, It has a big viewfinder, good if you wear glasses. No slow shutter speeds for night photos. Point and shoot as basic as possible.
