>From the text on that page, I note "The camera dispenses a raisin every time
Nonja [...] takes a picture". 

I don't think that feature is standard on M8 or M( (but stand to be
corrected by a user).

If the description is correct, I would suggest it might be a "Grapeflex",
although I confess that I did not realise there were in currant production.

Nonya, an orang-utan at a zoo in Vienna, is taking photos and has
70,000 followers on FaceBook.  Take a look at the camera in the plastic
case.  It looks like an M8 or M9 to me.  What do you think?

I wonder how much chimping she does?
