Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 – Vintage Digital Camera with Floppy Disk Storage

The Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 is a nostalgic piece of early digital photography history. Released in the late 1990s, this camera stores images directly onto standard 3.5-inch floppy disks, making it remarkably easy to transfer photos to a computer—especially back in the pre-USB era.

With its 0.3MP CCD sensor, 10x optical zoom lens, and built-in flash, it was once a go-to choice for home users and educators. Today, the MVC-FD73 stands as a fun and functional collector’s item or a quirky tool for creative retro-style projects.
