What camera is this?

Starting at about 10:12 of this behind the scenes film Sophie Nelisse, the then 12 year old lead actress of "The Book Thief" borrows, I believe a still photographers camera to play/experiment with when she is between takes. I think it's a camera inside some kind of large housing. I've never seen this. What is it?

Well....the camera appears in another behind the scenes film. It is, indeed, a Canon, just like the camera strap says. I can't tell if its a film or digital camera. But I don't know why its in that bulky case.

Didn't watch the video but most likely the housing is a soundproof case so the photographer can shoot during filming. Not much of a problem now with digital cameras but most likely the photographer on The Book Thief was shooting film.

The camera, outside of that case, is also bulky. It made me think it had a motor drive. So, that would make a lot of sense to soundproof it. I wasn't thinking someone would be shooting during a take.
