PictureCorrect.com: Digital Throwback: Remember the Sony Mavica?

In the latest edition of Digital Throwback, Mashable takes a look at a camera that never got as much attention as it should have when it was first released, way back in 1999. The Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 was a pioneering digital camera that used…wait for it…a 3.5” floppy disk as its “memory card.” Remember those colorful prehistoric plastic disks that often died on us?

With a 4.2mm–42mm (10x) optical zoom, maximum image resolution of 640 x 480 pixels (0.3 megapixel), and a tiny 2.5” rear LCD screen, this was a lean mean image machine.

Did you ever use a Sony Mavica?
