Canon Demi S
FOR YOUR COLLECTION
The Canon Demi is a half frame camera. In fact, Demi is a French word for "half". And although it uses ordinary cartridge style 35mm film, it takes two 24 x 18mm exposures on a normal 24 x 36mm film frame. This means a 36 exposure roll will actually hold 72 separate half frame photos. Quite a savings in money if only simple snapshots are desired. Economics was the reason for the half frame cameras of the sixties. Color film was very expensive in comparison the B&W of the day.
The Demi is a beautiful child of the sixties. Yet it’s styling was much ahead of its time. It looks more at home among the modern electronic point and shoots than it does among it’s heavy rangefinder Canonet and SLR contemporaries. Its sleek, metal body panels wrap around rounded corners giving the camera a comfortable feel in ones hands.
The first Demi was introduced in February of 1963, by no means was it the first half frame camera.
Then in September of 1964 Canon released a higher end version:
the Demi S. It had a better lens (30mm f/1.7 instead of the original 28mm f/2.

and improved metering system.
