A quick repair and demonstration of the Sony Mavica MVC-FD51 Digital camera. This is a very early digital camera from 1998 that (like most of the other Mavicas) stores photos on a 3.5" floppy disk. It stores them at a whopping 640x480 resolution and uses an analog sensor from a video camera.

Oh, also... the thumbnail was taken on the MVC-FD95.
