Is that actually a working camera? No. See below (and perhaps put it through babelfish etc). http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/static/present/ It is a miniature model of EF 600mm F4 IS USM & EOS-1Ds Mark II, offered as a prize for some sort of questionnaire (or contest). These are made commemorating the 30 millionth EF lens. Body & lens are attached by magnet. Hilarious thing about this is the asterisked note in red. " This is not a working model. Lens cannot be used as a telescope. No spark or flash effect from the tip of the lens". Ken
