Dr David MillsNew #Camera!
It uses tiny-tiny #floppydisks
It's a Cannon RC260 from 1990/1991
I wonder if the disk works? I'll have a play later. #retro

At college in 2004 we had a photography module.
We weren't allowed to download our own digital camera, or phone, photos to the college computers so had to take turn on the college camera.
It used a floppy disk!
[Click!]
Whurrrrrrrr.... whurrrr... clack clack clack.
Beep [saved].
It only took two images per disk.
I have no idea what we were supposed to learn from it.
@Maker_of_Things Patience?

Also, downloading the camera to a Mac, transferring to a memory stick, and then uploading to a Windows PC before we could view the image.
So, yeah, maybe.
