My first digital camera was a Sony Mavica that used a 3.5” floppy disk for storage.
shot 0.3 MP and could store ~10-15 images per disk
I have love for the FD Mavica. I have a Sony CD Mavica and have been using it quite a bit lately. It actually takes very nice photos for what it is.
I was going to post a photo of the camera but my account is too new.
Wow ... never knew these existed. But you would have a better resolution and quality if you just took the time to draw the image with paper and a pencil.
Same! I really don't want to tell you what I paid for it, it was a ridiculous amount. But, it did pay for itself when my son was born and while he was in the nursery (a bit jaundiced) I could take pics and bring them to show my wife that he was OK. Plus send pics to the grandparents on another continent.
So in the end it was worth it.
My dad was a professor of photojournalism at the time, so he had a bit of a budget to buy fun toys to experiment with.
That camera didn’t make it into the mainstream curriculum, but he did eventually flip the whole department over to DSLRs and had a fleet of cameras to loan out to students
They were amazing for us in the kitchens to plate up & have a demo for the cooks the same day. Game changer for modern chefs. So fun.
That’s an awesome use! Particularly in the late 90s/early 00s
Absolutely, then imagine us putting those photos on page with a description of the dish, in the same order as the catering menu so people can see the dish and order accordingly.
Early 2000's I learned enough digital photography, manipulation & excel to serve me the next 24 years...lol
