And people have actually bid on it! I wonder if they took the bidder seriously or if they know it's just a mock up....But, I agree,

Oh it'll find plenty of bids even though it's a mock-up. Lots of folks collect that stuff. Reminds me a little of the trade show mock-ups, the "balsa cams." They're pretty expensive to make. I heard a story about Canon losing an XL1 mock-up to theft at a trade show back in 1997. Imagine the surprise of the guy who stole it when he couldn't figure out how to turn it on! They're actually quite life-like. Fooled the thief anyway.

With the amount of time it must have taken this person to make this camera they could have gotten a job and actually made enough money to buy a real one.

I really liked the part, "It might actually work, I haven't had the time to make a tape...".

Recording format
He probably can't make a tape because it probably uses memory cards ;-)

That is really cool. Wish the picture was bigger though.

The basic rule of commerce is: everything is for sale for the right price. So why not make crazy things and sell them? As long as there is a buyer (it already has 13 bids as of June 9 @ 2PM Eastern)... business is booming!
Besides, it'll look good in some videographers's shop window... |

Here are the pictures of the camera on ebay. After 90 days, the auction is deleted, so I figured it would be a good idea to save the pictures for those "old thread readers".
Thanks, Luke |

And best of all, it has only eight minutes fewer storage capacity than a real Panasonic HVX!
