A question for Cloverfield fans

Major spoiler. Drag your mouse over the invisible text below only if youve seen Cloverfield.

What exactly did Cloverfield* do to the guy with the camera? Snort on him? It seemed that the director wanted us to think Clovey bit him, but then he left the camera intact and we see Camera Guy also intact. With Clovey's size, one bite would dispose of both camera and entire upper part of Camera Guy's body. It would have have been a super-accurate bite, what with the relative sizes of both biter and bitee. For a second there, and only because it would obey all laws of common sense, I thought Clovey swallowed Camera Guy, camera and all, and we'll have footage of Clovey's digestive tract, then later, it'd poop out the camera, wherein some survivor picks it up and views the footage the next day and continues to document the carnage. But, alas. Common sense is too much to expect in a movie like this.

========
*The title only makes sense if the name of the monster is Cloverfield. Maybe it had a nametag.

just go to Wikipedia. but i think the military designated it as "cloverfield" (opening scene), and if you waited till after the end credits, the cam was still rolling on the couple remaining buried under concrete. the cam was then found by the military and is now the basis for this movie.
