In March 1972, Eastman Kodak announced a new film system called “Pocket Instamatic.” Compared to the Instamatic 126 system’s 13 x 17 mm picture size, the Pocket Instamatic was much smaller.
Cautious about entering this market, Canon concluded that the specifications and features had to be good enough to please users. The 110ED had a 26mm f/2 lens with 5 elements in 4 groups. The large aperture boosted focusing performance with a coincidence rangefinder. For exposure control, there was aperture-priority EE. The camera also had a built-in date imprinting function, making it a high-end model.
