Kyocera DA-1 (1996)

< Prev

The Kyocera DA-1 is the last camera to use Video Floppy Disks. Why it was ever built beats me. It is a still video camera with one difference though, the images were directly digitized inside the camera and this time stored in digital format on the VF disks. I included it here anyway because I think it's an interesting hybrid camera. It was also Kyocera's first digital camera on the market. The camera itself is fueled by two expensive CR123A batteries and had a built-in playback unit. The camera is not to be confused with the Yashica DA-1 camera data back with the same name.
