Well, not really a DSLR. An amazing makeshift camera using a 5x crop sensor of a Pentax Optio A20 ultracompact camera and *ist slr camera body for birding purposes. 300mm lens = 1500mm!!!

i saw that thing on the Dpr forum site. i thought it was a joke. but it seems that he fused two of his cameras and made a working sample. are we sure that it's real???

anyway pretty interesting!
