I think a lot more people would be into SLR photography if they has access to chocolate cameras like this one.
Painstakingly modeled after a Canon D60 by Etsy user Hans Chung, this is a pretty incredible replica of one of the most popular professional grade cameras in the world. Chung points out on his website that the chocolate camera doesn't come with a chocolate SD card, camera strap or lens cap. No mention of a chocolate tripod, but that would be awesome.
The camera is completely edible, which means its actual picture taking capabilities are sadly non-functional. Chung has only made three of the chocolate cameras and says that he will only be making five more. That's pretty limited edition chocolate that would otherwise make a sweet Valentine's Day gift for the photographer in your life.
