[edit] Comments

The MS30's bigger brother.

This is a modular camera. You can't replace the lens, but you can change the control-panels and add an auto-focus-module. Known optional parts:

AF1-module: adds autofocusing
CM2-module: control panel for slow-motion, picture/sound fades, manual controls
CM4-module: as CM2, but with intervalometer, a PC contact and effects like lap dissolves
