Such cameras are prototypes, made during the manufacturing process to check
the fit and finish of the design of the molds, etc. they are certainly rare,
but probably every model ever made has a few lying around. They are common
in many different areas. A clear Apple Newton can also catch a fortune. :-)
I also looked at the images on the auction, and think it would be no good
for actually taking photos... Would it be possible to get a standard back
and put it on this thing? :-)
