1. An electronic camera system, comprising:
- a camera head having a taking lens system for forming an image of an object to be shot, image pickup means for converting an optical image of said object into an electrical signal representing said object, shutter means, and first and second terminals mounted on said camera head and coupled to said image pickup means;
a still picture camera body for taking still picture having a recording/controlling section adapted to be connected to the image pickup member to record output signals therefrom on a recording medium as a still picture, said still picture camera body having terminals mounted therein and coupled to said still picture recording/controlling section for mating with said camera head mounted terminals; and
a motion picture camera body for taking a motion picture having a recording/controlling section adapted to be connected to the pickup member to record output signals therefrom on a recording medium as a motion picture, said motion picture camera body having terminals mounted therein and coupled to said motion picture recording/controlling section for mating with said camera head mounted terminals;
said camera head being selectively removably mountable on the still picture camera body and the motion picture camera body such that the camera head mounted electrical terminals are in electrical contact with the corresponding terminals on the camera body to which the camera head is mounted.
