New #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

@dtl oooh coool. My school had one of those in 1992, it seemed like incredible witchcraft at the time.

@bencc Until I saw this one for sale, I only knew of the Sony camera that saved to disks.

@dtl ah yes the mavica? Those are also cool. The ion is weirder, it’s not a digital recording istr.

@bencc @dtl It's not, no, but then neither was the original Sony Mavica which used the same 2" 'video floppy' format as the Canons. It wasn't until the later Digital Mavicas that Sony moved to using 3.5" floppies and files.

@baljemmett @dtl ahhh, TIL. I’ve only seen the 3.5” version.
