. Ever wonder what a digital camera looks like from the inside? I didn't until yesterday, so I went to find out. It took me half a lifetime to get my old Canon S2 open. There were literally 30-40 tiny screws holding the thing together, and I had to work like crazy to try and get them apart. When I finally reached the sensor behind the lens, one of the screws was glued to the mount on the body meaning we had to cut through the metal to get to it. It was worth it though. When it comes down to it, digital cameras are terribly complex machines, and at the same time, after tearing apart the lens, the whole zoom assembly seemed flimsy and cheap. These are the pictures I took.
