Abstract
A camera comprising a housing having similar length front, rear and bottom walls, and a cover-handle for the housing pivotable between folded and extended positions relative to the housing to uncover and recover at least a taking lens opening in the front wall, is characterized in that the cover-handle has a cavity within which the front and rear walls of the housing are partially located and the bottom wall of the housing is completely located when the cover handle is pivoted to its extended position, in order to provide an extension of the housing that makes the housing more easy to hold.
