A camera assembly comprises a lens housing 24, an objective lens 21
mounted
in the lens housing, and a stop 22 located in the lens housing. The stop
22 has a first surface 25 facing towards the objective lens 21,
and this first surface is adapted to present information to a user viewing the
first surface through the objective lens. The information presented is therefore
visible to the user, but not exposed to wear and tear or tampering.
This arrangement is particularly useful in a camera with a digital sensor, particular
a low cost digital camera with a sensor such as a CMOS sensor. Such an arrangement
can advantageously be used for a camera provided as an eye of a toy.
