[edit] Comments

This is a Single8-camera!

Note that the grip is detachable but pretty vital for the overall functionality. A camera body without the grip should be considered more or less defect. (BTW: The Z1 uses the same grip as the Z2. And http://www.single8film.com/ sometimes does have spare grips.)
