Ever wondered what was inside a digital movie camera

A friend dropped an old Toshiba digital tape movie camera around, cause he knows I tinker with these electronic gadgets. It was pretty far gone, so out of curiousity before it got consigned to the bin, I took it apart.
The miniaturisation in these things is amazing. What really tickled me was the size of the stepper motors for the Focus/Zoom. Here's a pic of some of its innards.
