Daguerreotype camera built in 1839 by Susse Freres of France, deemed as world's oldest camera, was auctioned off by an anonymous online bidder for nearly US$800,000, which makes it the world's most expensive camera.
The ancestor camera of modern photography, which was found in an attic in Germany by a professor, is made of soft wood and weighs between 11 and 13 pounds.
