My primary school bought one of these, I thought it was a pretty cool camera back then. It wasn’t the best image quality available even at the time and writing to the floppy was slow but being able to swap to other disks easily was a big thing (a stack of floppies was a lot cheaper than memory cards) and being able to just stick the floppy in any computer and see the images was a real game changer compared to dealing with camera drivers to download images.
I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed the sound of a 3.5" floppy being inserted into a drive. Takes me back to loading up Oregon Trail on our old Macintosh.
My first digital camera used CompactFlash cards, and had a display in the sense that a VCR has a display.
Those things still take pretty damn good shots, too. I’ve seen reviews where they compare with modern equipment, you can still easily tell the difference, but the quality is far from bad.
Now they’re sought after for the crunchy CCD style.
Mom had one of those. We had stacks and stacks of floppy disks because of it. Great digital camera for the time.
We still have ours
same storage today, 3-10+ disks per picture
My brother used to have one of those
