Having cleared out the loft I found another old camera which I used in my previous job and thought it was too good to throw out. It is a Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD83 which uses floppy disks as storage.
Storing pictures in this way was quick and easy which produced quite acceptable quality results for storage on the computer. Having many floppy disks containing pictures I was loath to get rid of them and came across this invaluable piece of kit to load them onto my separate hard drive via my laptop which has no way of receiving the old floppies.
This is the external USB Floppy Drive unit which I purchased from Amazon for £9.99. I just plugged it in my laptop which recognised it straight away. It works a treat so I now have the job of loading all the pictures.
One good thing is that I have decided to use it as my everyday camera when I eventually live on a narrowboat rather than my Canon which is a bit too expensive to sling around on the cut.
I would just like to wish my followers and anybody else from around the world who happens to visit my blog a very
HAPPY NEW YEAR
May you have Peace, Health,Wealth and Happiness
