My trusty Canon PowerShot s400 just died an inexplicable death. Probably something to do with the salt water in Montenegro. Or the kids. But rather than simply let it tarnish in a dustry drawer, I thought to take a closer look inside. What amazed me most was that, after loosening 20-something miniscule screws the camera simply UNFOLDS. It's an astonishing bit of silicon origami. I didn't need to cut any ribbons, break and solder or permanently damage anything to get all the major components completely unravelled. And the final kicker is that the self-contained imaging unit (lens, autofocus and senor), when completly disconnected from the rest of the camera...still looks like a mini camera. True beauty in the details. Enjoy the photos.
'sup Paul!
Love the autopsy! I needed to see that for some strange reason. CSI: Camera's Soul Inspection.
So what did you use to take the photos...?
I'm intrigued by the new Canon XTI. Off to Playa Del Carmen for two weeks in Jan. to give me reason to buy it... :)
