1. An electronic imaging apparatus comprising:

  • a photographic lens;

    an imaging element that converts an optical image input through the photographic lens to an electric signal;

    a processing circuit that processes the electric signal and outputs an image signal;

    a memory circuit that stores the image signal;

    a control circuit that controls operation of the processing circuit and write-read operations involving the memory circuit;

    a bus connected to each of the processing circuit, the memory circuit, and the control circuit; and

    a main housing that houses the photographic lens, the imaging element, the processing circuit, the memory circuit, the control circuit and the bus, the main housing comprising an opening that can simultaneously mount within the opening a plurality of function cards independently of each other, and a plurality of data communication couplings disposed in the opening, wherein each of the data communication couplings is adapted to make a data coupling between the bus and a plurality of types of the function cards.
