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 ohhhh, very cool! Is that one of the ones that records a single frame of analogue video per floppy track?

@slyka I'm not sure, I know almost nothing about this camera or the disks. I plan to learn.

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

@dtl Can you use a pencil in the floppy disc hole to rewind it when you get to the end?

@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.

@dtl I'm guessing you haven't got a head cleaning disc for that.
I normally use 'out of date' sterile dry swabs with isopropyl to clean the heads.
EEVblog does a teardown of one.

@dtl I have two of them and they're both inoperable. One worked for about 5 minutes then stopped. I'd say, have something ready to record what it displays in case it works because it might not work again. Good luck!

@paulrickards that's good to know, thank you. Ive got a video capture card somewhere.
