One of the primary vectors of miniaturization is in the electronics (vs the Kodak 4800 for example). In this <1 inch thick Casio, all of the electronics fit on a 1.25โ€ square double sided board (marked above).

At this size of camera, the flash capacitor is one of the largest components by volume. The camera is roughly: 40% 3x zoom module, 20% LCD screen, 10% battery, 10% flash+capacitor, 10% electronics and flex circuit, 10% structural plastic and metal with viewfinder.

  1. Now, when I think strip-tease electronics are predominant. Is it curable doctor?

  2. U should ban kids from opening this pic .. re title to 18+ j/k

  3. If I were Casio Iยดd be very interested in this photo.

  4. You have the best camera porn! ‘-}

  5. I agree with The Alieness. This could make a great marketing photo for Casio. Particularly if you photoshop the "SYSTEM ERROR" screen into something more flattering. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  6. Hi, complexify. =) I didnยดt catch that detail, you r right! …maybe he can justify it saying it looks more realistic. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Btw I was commenting about his marketing-esque eye here, as well, yesterday.

  7. Vanita: heh, heh, heh….

    complexify: Sure, I could swap the System Error message for something synonymous, like Microsoft Inside.

    Alieness: I don’t think any advertisers are going to beat a path to this geek’s door.

  8. You have Picasso painting you already, anythingยดs posible in… The Alieness Zone |-)

  9. Alieness: hehe! yep, the error message isn’t even unflattering to Casio, given the physical condition of the camera. My old Canon S100 would display "E18" at the drop of a hat (let alone the camera itself!) ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Steve: Great idea! The Windows ME logo might do nicely. ๐Ÿ˜€

  11. Flag this photo as "may offend".

    Just kidding. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    That’s pretty cool, though! Makes me tempted to take apart my camera. Or maybe not. ๐Ÿ™‚

  12. Haha, quas! I had the same ideas…. Maybe not!

  13. ..nothin left to the imagination

  14. Definetly looks scary, gotta keep my camera away from this view – she might go on strike, if she sees that ๐Ÿ˜‰

  15. Interesting shot. Thanks for sharing this inside view. (1-2-3)

  16. amazing, isn’t it? how we photogs get so attached to our cameras that we get aroused when we see one naked.

  17. i do like the BSOD you have on the screen too ๐Ÿ™‚

  18. good point… Blue is the chic crash color… even for embedded devices…

    fotohippie: a CC Nude camera is like free love… ๐Ÿ˜‰

  19. Did you re-assembly it?

  20. Hello,

    I would like to know if you have data about the electronics in the casio. I opened my Z70 but the backlight doesn’t work anymore. Thanks
