The Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 Still camera (Dec-1999)

In December 1999 Ton bought a Sony digital camera. The great advantage of this camera is that the pictures a stored on regular 3.5 inch DOS-formatted diskettes. This makes the transfer of images to the computer much easier. The results are ready to use. And since this medium is cheap, you can actually make an unlimited amount of pictures. On this page you can read some technical details about the camera (Source: http://products.sony.ca).
