PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digital camera system in which the miniaturization of the device and the selection of an imager meeting a photographing lens are made possible and a dustproof effct is excellent. SOLUTION: A lens unit 40 is removably attached to a digital camera body. In attaching the lens unit 40, a stride section 12 is moved upward and its front end is inserted into the digital camera body. A locking section 62A of a pressing member 62 fitted to a fitting section 70 presses and fixes the lens unit 40 by elasticity of a coil spring 64. When the lens unit 40 is attached to the digital camera body, a contact surface 28S of a lens side connecting terminal 28 and a contact surface 11S of a camera side connecting terminal 11 contact each other. All the surfaces other than the contact surfaces 11S and 28S among the surfaces of the camera side connecting terminal 11 and the lens side connecting terminal 28 are not exposed outside, and the camera side connecting terminal 11 and the lens side connecting terminal 28 are protected from the adhesion of foreign matters, etc. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
