Old Stuff on Old Cam

In this category you will find random pictures of random old hardware, taken with a really old digital camera which gives them the appropriate look.

No “retro filter” needed, my Sony Mavica MVC-FD88 achieves that low definition retro look without breaking a sweat. The camera also uses standard 3.5″ floppy disks for storage (!), the only thing more retro would be scanning a real photo with a big SCSI flatbed scanner connected to a 486 running Windows 95.

Here is a short review of my camera:
