Camera with improved positioning of vibration detection sensors

A camera comprising:

• a camera body having an outer cover;
• a lens barrel having a substantially cylindrical outer portion and being positioned on the camera body, the lens barrel dividing the camera body into a first portion and a second portion with the lens barrel between the first and second portions;
• a rangefinding unit positioned in the camera body and being covered by the outer cover of the camera body, the rangefinding unit having a surface which has a portion adjacent to the circumference of the outer portion of the lens barrel,
• a first space existing in the first portion of the camera body and having borders defined by the circumference of the outer portion of the lens barrel, the surface of the rangefinding unit and the outer cover of the camera body, where
• an optical axis extends through the lens barrel and a plane passing through the optical axis divides the first space into first and second subspaces of substantially equal length in the optical axis direction,
• the first subspace has borders defined by the surface of the rangefinding unit, the circumference of the outer portion of the lens barrel and the outer cover of the camera body, and does not extend beyond the surface of the rangefinding unit, and
• the second subspace has borders defined by the bottom surface of the camera, the circumference of the outer portion of the lens barrel and the outer cover of the camera, and does not extend beyond the surface of the rangefinding unit;
• a flash generation device positioned in the second portion of the camera body;
• and
• a vibration detection sensor positioned in one of the first and second subspaces, wherein no vibration detection sensor is positioned in the second portion of the camera body, thereby reducing the effect on vibration detection of electrical noise generated by the flash generation device.
