Abstract
A camera system has a camera section, a reproduction section and a printer section, the printer section being separably attachable to either the camera section or the reproduction section to form an integral body. The camera system has photoelectric conversion elements and picks up an image of an object to produce image data. The reproduction section processes the image data so as to reproduce the picked-up image on a display screen, and the printer section prints the picked-up image on printing paper based on the image data. The reproduction section may include an output device which transmits the processed image data to a television set having a display screen, and it may also be integrally provided with a monitor having a display screen. The camera system further includes a recording portion electrically connected with the camera section and which records the image data. The recording portion has a first recorder which records the image data in an internal memory built in one or each of the camera section, the reproduction section and the printer section, and a second recorder which records the image data in an external memory removably mountable on one or each of the camera section, the reproduction section and the printer section.
