The successor to the Snappy V for North America, the Snappy CX is a simple camera with a built-in flash and single focal length lens. Focusing is not required.
Compared to its predecessor, the camera is 3 mm thinner. The shape is also more contoured for a better feel in the hands. Midroll rewind is also possible. Film transport is fully automatic from loading to rewind. The camera fits in a shirt pocket for easy picture-taking with a 32mm lens. In Europe, the camera was called Prima Junior EX.
