It looks like the regular Loreo Camera. I doubt that any modifications or 
"downgrading" of this model has been made for Discovery Channel as 
these modifications would be too expensive to make.

The Argus is exactly the same camera as the Loreo, except for the 
printed logo on the front.

But if you like to know for sure, I can ask Anthony Lo (the designer of 
the Loreo) next month when I see him again in Hong Kong :-)

Happy Holidays!
