AN 84-year-old Leica has become the world's most expensive small camera after being auctioned for over 100 times the cost of a modern-day digital camera.
The rare camera fetched a world-record price of €336,000 ($551,151) for cameras of its type at auction. 
World's Most Expensive Small Camera
This makes the tiny portable black camera dating from 1923 the most expensive small camera in the world and the second most expensive camera ever sold at auction.
It was bought by an anonymous European collector.
The Leica camera was the seventh of a series made in Germany to test the market for portable cameras, and intended for export to New York.
The world's most expensive camera sold at auction was a Daguerrotype early camera made by the Susse brothers dating from 1839 and sold in May for €580,000 ($951,598).
