If you've ever wanted to make a life size model of a pro DSLR but in balsa wood, here's your chance!\

I must admit that it's one of the weirder projects I've seen, but it looks great, and it's from the Canon Museum.

That's good. About the right weight for me.
Is it digital balsa or will any sort do?

You could play great jokes with that if you painted it black so it looked like a real camera. For instance, you see this guy taking photos with the real version, on a cliff or something, and while he's not looking, grab his camera and hide it, then when he turns around, chuch the balsa one over the cliff.

I would ask for help - the viewfinder does not seem to show the ISO setting. P OOps - may be it does?

I like the way you think...!
Next: make a white Canon lens out of styrofoam to go with your balsa wood DSLR!
