Digital Camera that uses Floppy Discs - Oddware

in #oddware6 years ago
This is the most bizarre camera in my collection. There was a local newspaper company that was closing in my hometown, so I got a chance to dig through its old inventory and found this. This is a fully digital LCD Camera that uses Floppy discs instead of memory cards or film. It claims to be able to save up to 500 pictures to a single 3.5" floppy disc. It can only take pictures due to the size limitations of floppy discs.
Sony Digital Still Camera MVC-FD7

You would think this camera is old, but it was actually released in 2005 during the height of the DVD. Sony knew that everyone had floppy discs laying around collecting dust, so they created this camera that would make use of obsolete saving methods to slow floppy discs from flowing into garbage heaps.

  • The camera works perfect, I haven't been able to import pictures from it yet because I don't have a floppy drive laying around, but if I get a hold of one in the future, I'll upload an example picture in the comment section. 500 pictures is pretty mind blowing for a single floppy disc, Sony went all out on the compression technology of this camera.

Unless you are saving it for historical archiving. :P

Would I get the entire cost of the item if I sold it there? Still trying to figure out that system.

You set what the post total upvote price should be and just earn upvotes. When the total price of post exceeds your set price you randomly select one of the upvoters as winner of prize. I am new on it too so not sure what happens if at day 7 the total price of your post is still under your set price.

from what I'm reading, if the cost isnt met, then you have to split 90% of the payout and keep 10%, not sure how they are going to enforce it.
