Under the logic board there is this piece of plastic, separating the lens and sensor from the rest of the camera.

It comes right out, no screws or whatsoever.

Detach the electronic viewfinder atop.

The plastic locks hold the lens and screen of the electronic viewfinder together.

The viewfinder screen is sooooo smallll!

It has 200.000 dots, and about 30mm² of area

That is some insane pixel density, look what happens when the optics used to view this display are pressed against a typical laptop display - you can see the sub-pixels!

The next two screws hold the lens and sensor module

It's out, and it's huge.

You can even make it bigger, apply 3 volts to the marked terminals to extend the lens.

Remove these two screws to detach the sensor from the lens

The sensor has a typical 1/2.5" size. That's not a big sensor.

Here you have a 5 polish zloty coin for comparison.

5 polish zloty's is about $1.80, in case you don't grasp the size yet :)

The CCD is very shinny.

6 megapixels from a 1 / 2.5" sensor is like expecting 70 megapixels from a 35mm film camera. It's still better then pumping 12 megapixels out of a pinhead sized sensor in mobile phones.

Manufacturers, please stop the megapixel war. Thank you.

The Carl Zeiss lens from the sony camera alongside the lens from a Zorki-6 soviet compact rangefinder from 1960.

Unlike the Sony, the Zorka still works, despite being over 40 years older.

The back of the Zeiss has significantly more electronics, ribbon cables and servomechanisms than the Zorka lens

Lets get back to the body of the camera

Lift this plastic lock to remove the hight voltage chip powering the speed light.

3 cables connect this board with the lamp and they are soldered.

The capacitor has 320 micro farads of capacity and operates at 330 volts. That's 17.4 joules of potential electric energy, quite much for a speed light.

To get to the microphone and top button panel, unscrew these three.

Sony made sure that the microphone caches the sound you want, and not internal motor noise, or the sound of the wind. This is actually very impressive work, most camera manufactures don't care that much.

Finally the button panel, with the broken shutter button.
