Here's something from the prehistoric area of my college days, a digital camera that takes floppy disks! This is the Sony Mavica MVC-FD85. It lets you save a whopping 10 pictures on 3.5" floppy, or 15 whole seconds of video in three grainy 5-second clips!

I have fond memories of these things from back in the year 2000. I used to check them out from the technology desk at the campus library, since I couldn't afford my own. While they kind of suck compared to modern cameras, I took plenty of photos with the things. When I found one at a garage sale I had to pick it up!
