A photo of my Sony Mavica FD85 on my desk mat

Sony Mavica FD85

The Sony Mavica FD85. It takes floppy disks! The image quality is poor, but not as poor as the Agfa. The shots are less unpredictable, which makes it a bit less interesting to play with, but it's a neat piece of tech all the same. Underappreciated feature: there's a light pipe above the LCD preview screen that feeds whatever light is around to aid the backlight. If it's bright where you are, there's a switch for the backlight so you can choose to illuminate the screen entirely with the light pipe to save battery power.

I intend to use this camera during the December 2024 Shitty Camera Challenge.
