Also the idea of a disc holding 300+ photos still sounded HUGE back in the 90s. Most people used analog cameras with film that took 24 photos at a time.

​@@LGR​@LGR There's a camera I'd like to get to know your thoughts on. It's a Vivitar Vivicam 3750 from 2004. I have one myself and while it looks and functions like a cheap & slow camera (because it is one), the photos it takes are similarly unpredictable and look uncannily similar to slide film (only funnier). I mean, you have to try one out for yourself. I think you'll get a kick out of it with the absolutely barbarian CMOS sensor they put in it.

Honestly Clik Disks just looked so cool. They really nailed the sci-fi looking storage device aesthetic with it, almost reminds me of seeing MiniDiscs used for data in The Matrix, just looked cool. Of course neither were sci-fi but that transition period when the floppy disk was stone age tech yet burning a CD was too much hassle had a bunch of products that seemed so cool despite their obvious flaws.

Don't forget the IBM Microdrive. A tiny hard disk in a CompactFlash form factor which you use in any camera which accepted CF cards (and could cope with the insane amount of storage space, like 170MB or 340MB). Came out in 1998, price was $500 in 1999. Capacity continued to increased (4GB in 2004 for $500, dropping to $200 in 2005, then 6GB in 2006 for $130). Biggest drive had 16GB, but that was when comparable flash CF cards had become too cheap already. The iPod mini used 4GB and 6GB Microdrives. Thanks to the CF card compatibility, it was possible to replace the Microdrive with much larger (and enegery-efficient) flash CF cards when these became available many years later.

So here's a weird personal experience... I'm visually impaired, and I often find that modern photography and videography looks nothing like the real world its capturing. The pictures from this camera are 100% how I see the world. This video is the first time in a very long time I've looked at digital media and thought "That's the most realistic photo I've seen, it's like I'm there!" So in an odd way, thank you for making this video. It's given me some comfort to know that while my vision is in fact continuing to degrade, a majority of the struggles I have with digital devices are the result of the presentation of modern media capture, rather than the state of my eyeballs.

The problem you're likely facing with these cameras is the same problem that plagued many early digital cameras: loose connectors. The one that takes vomit-colored pictures likely has a connection issue with the CCD; the other one likely the connector to the LCDs. They were selling cutting edge technology in cost-cutting enclosures for devices meant to be carried around, so many just wore out, but after a few years, they were already wildly out of date. I remember it only took a few years to go from 1MP to 20MP.

The screens being dead you always need to unseat and reseat every cable that unplugs inside the camera first. These cameras are not built with tolerances so every bump, bang, and jostle can unseat wires. Failing that it was likely left somewhere hot or damp and one of the capacitors fried, which is common.

1:06 40 MB of storage for $9.99? Yeah, that's why Iomega flopped in the marketplace. Greed. That was the same price for a 100 MB Zip disk (sort of, I recall Iomega didn't even sell them individually. It was like a 3-pack for $30 or something. I remember because, while I've never owned a drive, we had a class back in the day which required using them, and the teacher required Zip disks. He told the students who could buy the multipacks to be a pal and sell the extras to their classmates for the average cost per disk.

Our first digital camera didn't even have a LCD preview screen on it. It had a maximum image resolution of 1024x768. It used Compact Flash to store pictures, used 4 AA batteries, had a tripod mount, used a 3.5mm to serial cable to transfer files off the camera, used a horizontal rotary wheel to move between modes. It came with a 4 MB CF card. I later bought a 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB CF card to see what its actual limits were. It took 13 seconds from the time I pressed the shutter button for it to capture and store the image. It also chewed through batteries. To conserve power I would turn it off between shots. I think I still have it somewhere. I know I still have the Compact Flash memory cards. At the time I bought those CF cards they were cutting edge technology. Even when the camera itself was probably an older generation or two. We loved using it. Over time it slowly became mine somehow. Oh and it had a 3.5 mm port to RCA video cable to allow us to see our photos on the CRT TV.

I just realized i live 30mins from Clint! That's awesome! One of these days i'll probably see him rummaging through the electronics isle at the Goodwill's i occasionally go to. Greetings from Hendersonville!

Reminds me of when I first realized Clint lives in my town. I was watching a Thrifts episode and recognized a Goodwill as one within walking distance of my home. Small world! I was subscribed for like a few months before realizing. Nice to see the great photos from our town!

You should also look at either the Panasonic PV-SD4090 or PV-SD5000 which used the SuperDisk format for storage, compared to Sony's Digital Mavica series which used 3.5 floppy disks.

Pretty much any company involved in imaging (film cameras, printers, copiers, etc.) tried selling digital cameras in the late '90s. HP, Epson, Kyocera, Ricoh, Konica, etc. Most of them gave up on it in the mid-2000s due to it being a highly competitive market with slim profit margins.

I bought a 96 MB CF card for about $25 in 2001. Practically a steal at the time, but it was from a shop that had gone bankrupt and sold out their remaining stuff for pretty much whatever you offered. I had a Canon Powershot A50, a quite decent camera at the time. Connected to the PC with serial port, and at the camera end they used a 2,5mm jack of all things. It required proprietary software and had a transfer time of about 1 minute per picture, but that interface was dead reliable, never gave me an issue. Except for the lack of resolution, many of the pictures i took with that camera looks decent even today. I remember at the time i told one of my classmates, who also had a digital camera, that i had a 96MB card and he didn’t belive me. When i showed it to him, he just looked at it and said ’’damn, did you win the lottery or something?’’

Despit the artifacts and low resolution, those photos look surprisingly good. Contrast and dynamic range seem to be pretty good and even in scenes with strong brightness differences (like 11:10) you can still see most stuff.

My Wife and I went on a Europe (Austria, Germany) and Mid East (Egypt, Jorden, Israel) trip back in 2000. A friend lent me his brand new Sony Mavica Superdisk camera. Almost got through the whole trip with the one disk but had to go on a harrowing taxi ride to a mall in Jerusalem to look for a box of 3.5 inch floppies to finish up the trip. Got about 15 or so pictures on each floppy compared to the 1500 we got on the LS 120 disk.

The first digital camera I bought was an HP Photosmart 315 2.1MP digital camera back around 2000-2001. It was $299 new when it came out in 2000. It had a 2.1MP CCD with maximum pixels at 1600x1200, 38mm equivalent lens, 30 bit color depth, 2.5x digital zoom, 1.8" rear color LCD screen. It used Type I Compact Flash cards for the storage and it came with a 8MB CF card. It also came with two software CDs. One disc was the Photosmart drivers and the other disc was Arcsoft PhotoImpressions and Arcsoft PhotoMontage.
