Cameras Of Tomorrow
Say you are an amateur photographer, and you're interested in doing more photography in the future. You could spend your whole time scouring the internet for tips on capturing beautiful moments in pictures. But there's a much easier way - find a website which shows photographs of cameras from all over the world, and then decide which one you would like to buy. All these cameras look different, but they have many shared features. There are also certain companies that produce quality photography equipment with specific styles that are particular to them; for example, if you want to shoot high-quality photographs with traditional film cameras, Kodak has what it takes. Or, if you want, you could choose to shoot with digital cameras. If you like the pictures, then go ahead and buy these cameras.
Take a look at Cameras of Tomorrow - http://camerasoftomorrow.wordpress.com/
Here is the choice of photo equipment that they put there:

And then, you can just buy these cameras:

The above cameras are not the only ones that you can sell on eBay for a price that is above the market's average. Many camera equipment companies have been known to produce cameras that you may find interesting, and also at prices below the market's average. So, if you do not like the printed images of these cameras, you will have to go through the manual (which is written in English) before deciding whether or not to buy it. After you have read the manual, you should become more acquainted with the cameras' idiosyncrasies; which are also those of each camera above.
Who cares if Mark's camera is expensive? What's important is that it looks good. If my camera looks good, then it should be all right to me (source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35109045@N05/366496645/in/photostream#!...)

And here are some examples of what is inside the manual (some copy, some not):

We can see from this that a camera always has light-sensitive devices that capture the ratio of light to shadow in a photograph or video. They are always based on the concept of how much light is required by the human eye, and how much appears on film (or other media).
So, if we take a picture of you with our new digital camera, your face will be black (source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35109045@N05/366496645/in/photostream#!...)

But if we turn on the flash so that there is even more light for us to see you, then you will be as white as chalk (source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35109045@N05/366496645/in/photostream#!... )

If you look at this, you will see that there is only one thing which is sure to make a photograph appealing - it is light. If you have enough light, your photo will definitely be good. And if the lighting in your field of vision changes with time when you are taking pictures, then this change of lighting will be captured on your picture too!
So let's understand how a camera works:

We can see that there are two lenses in front of the camera's film, and these two lenses create a lens effect which is very similar to the one we see in the human eye (i.e., both of our eyes). From this, we can understand that a camera has a human vision-related concept. Cameras were created so that people could exchange pictures; they could be hung on walls or placed on tables. This is why the camera (who also has a human vision-related concept) is constructed to have the same shape as a human eye's lens.
The last chapter of the manual explains how a normal camera works:

The above will tell us more about the internal structure of cameras. They have lenses and mirrors, which are all made from glass which has been shaped to imitate that of a human eye's lens, and another "sensor" (i.e., light-sensitive device). From this, we can understand that cameras are man-made copies of an organ in our body with similar functions.
Conclusion:
From the above, we can see that there is a big connection between cameras and our human bodies. The camera can be seen as another organ inside our body. So, just like us, it can process light and turn it into an image (i.e., photograph). If you look at the picture of this camera in the manual, you will see that this camera too is being used to capture an image which is similar to a photograph/video. And on these images or videos, we see the same lens effects (i.e., like our eyes) that we also see in cameras.
