New Sony Camera Has Built-In CD Burner
The original Sony Mavica digital cameras offered simplicity, but with a compromise. With most digital cameras, you need to use either wires or a special reading device to transfer pictures to your computer. But Sony made it easy to store and transfer images by incorporating a familiar device into the camera itself: a floppy disc drive. Pop the floppy out of the camera and into your computer.
Bang, you've got pictures on your A: drive. The only problem is that floppies at 1.44 meg don't have enough room, especially as camera resolution has improved and bloated file sizes over the last two years.
