I just grabbed this one off ebay for about 50bucks. Japanese seller said it had a "read error" but it was pretty clear they were using either a corrupted/protected or unformatted disk to test it.

They seem much more common on the US market. Seen a good bunch of them for just as low as 10bucks on ebay.

DUDE, hell yes
Those are so iconic, I've always wanted one myself.
I wonder if I can find some on Facebook market place?

Yeah, I knew the filename would make it easy to recognise.

The exact model is a FD7, early model with the 10x zoom.

Dug out a sacrificial floppydisk for it, and couldn't have found a better specimen.

Well, given that the filenames all start "MVC-", is it a Sony Mavica? Those things are awesome!

So I got another camera.

Any guesses what it is?

Quote from: stewartsage on June 24, 2026, 10:59:31 PMIAS thinks she's stuffy and unpleasant.  She would respect her as a pioneer more if it weren't for how overwrought she can be...  Honestly, it makes me think of von Neumann and Oppenheimer.

Holy crap, yeah, that is kind of a good comparison for their dynamic.

OS-tan Talk / Re: OS-tan hot takes

Yeah, it's another take on the idea of humanizing computing related things, which is cool and all.  Not really OS-tan related, other than perhaps he took inspiration from OS-tans.
