I READ THAT A CANON Q8200A IS A CLONE OR A KNOCK-OFF AND NOT A REAL CANON. ANYBODY? THANKS.

We just went through this in another thread. Google, or Bing would be a great tool to use, but I did it for you. It's a Focus Free, fixed lens toy. Came with different model numbers but it's all the same thing. Don't know if Canon liscensed them or not, but I really, really doubt it, since one of the google results listed them as "siezed".

Correct. A very cheaply made camera made to appear like an SLR
(it wasn't) and using the Canon logo without authorization.

Was also sold under the name "Olympia" and probably others.
