In 1997, Sony launched a floppy disk camera.

That was my FIRST digital camera, I think I paid $800. Amazing at the time…comical in hindsight, you could probably take 20-25 HQ photos on one floppy. I did take this wide panoramic shot using the Mavica from a rooftop on the Lower East Side, NYC in Dec. 1998.

Damn. So to take a "screenshot" you'd have to take a picture of the screen and have it redownloaded on another floppy disk.. sheeesh

My first digital camera (1999) was also a Sony, but it used a PCMCIA card. A 2MB one!

Sony also had a video camera that burned directly to a DVD.

two pics and the disc would be full

hahah blast from the pasttt, I had one of those

Saw the camera, still boxed in HARD OFF back in January. The Accessory Kit was also there. Extremely cheap too.

As low as $20 on eBay what a deal!

That's not a floppy. You must be too young to understand.

14x zoom beats 10x zoom

I got one of these in 1998.

I HAD ONE! 🙋🏼‍♂️ - I might could find it in my parents’ attic. 💪🏼

@mindstatex That’s freaking cool 😎

I had a Mavika, it was practical, intuitive and easy to use. Very good camera indeed!

We lived in the future and didn't know! 😲

Mavica?

That was awesome

Still have it in my garage

What a way to sell such a cool device .... Through humiliation & harrassment .... 🤮👎🏻

i had one of these. 640x480 in very good quality great Zoom and good makro functionality. Love the Mavica

yep, I had one.

So these kids all have PC’s except for the one that has a Mac PowerPC.

I mean it is the best reason to use it

Those were simpler times

Still have one

Eu me lembro! Quis ter uma dessa. 🥹

Surprised that Sony went with something as non-proprietary as a 3.5” floppy. They “fixed” that with later models 🤪

Zip 100. Missed opportunity. 🤔

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Mavica!

I had one of the cameras! And I still have a few floppy disks. And a SuperDisk! 🖥 💾 🏃🏾‍♂️ 💾 🖥 👍🏾

Back when innovation was peak 🤌🤌🤌
