Mitsubishi DJ-1000: World's Smallest Digital Camera (in 1997!)

@@thematicschematic Thank you for the reference. No sarcasm. The majority of times someone says the word "industrial" in terms of music, it's some "industrial rock" style (like the OP), which tends to - not be very industrial at all. Electro-industrial like SP is far better, imo.

[@fl570]

I love how some random and specific memories from our lives remain clear and vivid in our minds, while others are completely forgotten. Thanks for sharing!

[@SpearM3064]

Hey, LGR! Here's a little more background info on the DJ-1000: The images are stored on the CF card as 128K files in a FAT12 (DOS) Filesystem. This is convenient because it is a primitive enough filesystem that just about anything can read it; Linux and NetBSD PCMCIA support works fine, and even the Psion 5 palmtop has no problem finding the individual MDSC*.DAT files on the card. EDIT: In hindsight, is it possible that the reason why even a freshly-formatted card was "full" is because Windows formatted it as a FAT16 volume instead of FAT12, so the camera didn't recognize it? By default, Windows 95 uses FAT16B, aka "BigFAT". The image files have four image planes, with different sensitivities. The planes are 8 bits per pixel, and the pixels are physically offset from each other, which is how they get from 256x128 to 504x378. The two "missing" scan lines at the end appear to be zero except for some metadata: * a four byte "signature" which is always C4,B2,E3,22; without these bytes at this position, the vendor software will not attempt to process the image. * a four byte "camera version" which is displayed by the program as-is; 00,02,00,03 appears as "camera version 2.03". * a constant byte 01. * four more bytes which seem to have no effect on what the program does, but do vary per-image; they may be related to the "color balancing" but the vendor software doesn't appear to need them. And one more interesting fact: Technically, it *isn't* a Mitsubishi. _Sanyo_ built it. From what I'm able to piece together, the camera was originally designed by Microdia, and licensed to Mitsubishi and Umax. Mitsubishi must've outsourced the production of the camera to Sanyo. The camera was called the DJ-1 in Japan, and had a different color case. The Umax version is called the PhotoRun. The original Microdia QuickShot prototype was apparently never sold.

[@doc.voltold4232]

man I feel old now.. fat12

[@SamCyanide]

Great info! I was curious about why formatting it would screw it up. Figured it may use some proprietary formatting scheme but then you would need the software to install some driver and new cards wouldn't work without being formatted beforehand. But FAT12 makes sense. Great details here.... where'd you get all this info?

[@SpearM3064]

+Sam Cyanide Well, as much as I'd like to claim credit for the research, I can't. I got this info from two sources: (1) The Digital Camera Museum, which is where I found out that it is also called the DJ-1 and the UMAX PhotoRun, and that Sanyo built it; and (2) a blog called "The Herd of Kittens", which is where I found the information on the FAT12 file system and the structure of the DAT files.

I'm a professional photographer and I absolutely love these early digital cameras, I'm so glad to see you making more videos about them, keep it going ! If you can find yourself some early digital backs for film cameras (such as the Kodak ones which were to be mounted on Nikon F4 cameras and the like), I think it could make for some very interesting videos ! Also, the streaks that you see from the highlights are due to the CCD sensors receiving too much light and "overflowing", causing a streak, and sometimes a stain (often green or blue) It's also called blooming, bleeding, smearing, or even ghosting

[@ReyMysterioX]

Blooming is different from vertical smear in CCDs. What you explained was blooming, yes, basically overflowing to adjacent pixels. Smear happens due to the way the sensor is read out, while blooming is the overflowing during exposure.

I agree with Andrej. My then girlfriends circa 1995 £50 Canon 35mm Film Point and Shoot took better pictures than my Canon 3 MegaPixel Digital Point and Shoot which cost me £400 in 2002.

That green line thing is when the sensor elements (pixels) over saturate and the electrons bleed over into the adjacent elements in that row and if strong enough or crap enough sensor it continues along the entire row. As for why it's green, maybe the sensor is most sensitive to that wavelength.

[@Monoplacophora]

Your channel is the holy grail sir

[@LeminskiTankscor]

The delete issue must be due to the file system. I might be wrong, but when Windows deletes a file, it just changes the first character to ? So, 0001.dat becomes ?001.dat Windows knows not to bother with that, but the camera might not. Formatting is much the same if it's not a full format. I would guess maybe changing the file system or writing over with junk data might work.

[@SpearM3064]

Actually, that's partially correct. It wrote over the first character with 0x00 (a null character). Recovery software like _Recuva_ puts a ? there because it doesn't know what the first character _used_ to be. Oh, the images are stored as 128K files in a FAT12 (DOS) filesystem. The reason they used this is because it is primitive enough that almost anything can read it; Linux and NetBSD PCMCIA support works fine, and even the Psion 5 palmtop has no problem finding the individual *.DAT files on the card. FAT12 is an interesting limit by itself - a FAT12 filesystem is at most 16M, and thus can hold no more than 127 pictures. It's amusing that you can find 32G cards on Amazon that are advertised as "compatible with" the DJ-1000. SURE they are... if you don't mind the fact that you're wasting 98.4% of the card!

You should take a look at the Nikon D1 from 1999. It was the first pro DSLR built in-house by a camera company, independently from Kodak or Fujifilm. It's a lot like a modern DSLR, except for some 90's-era quirks like old camcorder menus and images being in NTSC color instead of RGB. Also works with nearly every Nikon lens made. The Kodak DCS cameras are more interesting, but they're a pain in the ass to get up and running, and they're pretty expensive now that they're a collectors item.

I remember those vertical streaks as a distinctive CCD thing. I even recognized them in Tron: Legacy which had its live action footage shot with Sony F35 cameras and Phantom HD right before pretty much all digital cameras switched from straight RGB patterned CCD's to Bayer Pattern CMOS chip sensors. It was simply a funny little quirk they had. I'm honestly surprised no manufacturer built a camera with the CCD rotated 90 degrees and called the resulting horizontal streaks "cinematic".

[@jmalmsten]

@@kaitlyn__L The actual physics that made RGB-pattern CCD's flare in that way, I don't know. All I can say is that it did happen. As for JJ. He's been a film-shooter for as long as he has been able to shoot on film. On that format the blue streaking of superbright lightsources was not a recording medium thing. It's from the horizontal squeezer of anamorphic lensing that makes light bounce around uneavenly inside the lens. Most lens manyfacturers for decades tried ro minimize this effect with special coatings on the glass elements but some filmmakers love that quirk, JJ will even put in tiny LED flashlights in shots to manually provoke the lense flaring and they'll order special runs of the lenses that don't get the coatings that minimizes them. As for the recent trend towards 2:1 imaging in movies, that is more of an aesthetic choice than something derived from technical specs of sensors. Most cinema grade cameras nowadays get high enough resolution so they can safely crop to pretty much any ratio the producers and distributors will agree to. A lot of filmmakers go for the slightly wider than 16:9 of 2.00:1 but not as vertically limiting 2.39:1 to fit slightly taller framings. Others, like netflix, I suspect, choose it because black bars look cinematic on TV and it fills up more space on phones. 2.00:1 historically have crept up from time to time historically. From early 70mm Fox grandeur to the cheapo cinemascope competitor SuperScope. And for a while it was lobbied as the go to format Univisium by Vittorio Storaro. Yes... For some reason, my mind really loves unnecessary details around image shapes. Sorry about that. :P

Dang, in 97 (And up until about 2005) I just used disposable cameras. Then again, I didn't have a "modern" computer until 2001, and even then all I had was a crummy "Jazz" camera that refused to take pictures without a blaring light in the background. Seriously, it only let you take pictures that were over-exposed. It would go "ERRT!" if you tried to take a picture in normal circumstances. Oddly enough, it made an excellent webcam for using over dial up connections. Still loved my disposables. Would just keep one in my purse at all times in high school and even a little after.

Fhistleb Maybe the old "Jack of all trades expert at none" applies. ahhahaha. Actually Mitsu made excellent cars back in the 80s-90s and plenty of them were interesting too.

If I saw someone using that, I think I would be fooled into thinking that it's a modern camera! It actually looks semi-modern even today.

Christian O. Holz I’m old enough to remember when a 1 mb hdd was a big deal. :)

The digital camera I got in 2002 came with a 16mb memory stick. 8x improvement in 5 years isn’t terrible, I suppose.
