As reluctant as I am to advocate or humanize and personify basically any large corporation, I can't help but feel a little sentiment towards Sega. I had largely ignored them as a child and only had Nintendo products as far as consoles went until my dad and I bought a Sega Genesis at a yard sale in 1998, motivated by the hype around the Dreamcast. I immediately regretted it, and when we got a Dreamcast the next year it quickly became the source of some of my fondest console memories. Using a game console that almost felt like a PC in capability, minus a few janky things typical to most first-of-their-kind products, really felt amazing at that time.

Awful quality and price compared to APS which was VERY popular in Europe and Japan which is probably why Sega did not bother and the fact that every store back then had a machine that you could load your APS films into and have them converted in 5 minutes, some machines even let you edit the pictures before you printed them, and some machines let you do big prints.
Europe and Japan were pretty much APS and DV camcorders for majority of consumers, my family were lower middle class and had no less than one miniDV camera, 7 freaking APS cameras!

In a parallel universe, Sega acquires Olympus and released its first APS-C DSLR in 2007, then a full frame with a wide OM lens compatibility since 2009, competing against Nikon/Sony, since they could not compete against Nintendo-SGI's workstation market that crashed Apple.

oooooooooooooooo
I like the grain/vibe of retro cameras, in the digital kind, not film, I should shoot more with my Cyber-Shot. going back to basics, hard mode, no rafale mode.

Ooh, I remember the SmartMedia flash memory cards. My dad bought an Olympus CAMEDIA C-860L back in the day, which thoroughly blew my mind. It had a freakin' LCD on the back, so you could instantly see your photos, which was just impressive to no end. I think he bought it for a vacation on the Canary Islands, and I remember being more occupied with the camera than anything else.

Oh my! I enjoy your every video, but that was a real gem!
I loved SEGA back in the days, and I love (it's that days) still. Getting a still image of it, well, what's to wish for. Dude you made a great job with it. They sent you a single freaking floppy? Oh they bastards.
Keep it up.

Seeing as you like early digital cameras, I have a mid-2000s Polaroid PDC 2000 digital camera. I bought it in preparation for a trip to NYC in 2004. I only used during that trip and then I forgot all about it. It is 2million mp, has a digital-only zoom and it uses the smart media card. If you are interested let me know.

I just took one of those apart and I can tell you, it's the biggest, most unserviceable pile of shit I've ever dealt with. Hidden screws (even under the black camera lens protector plastic. Some stuff is glued. A ton of screws and clips on top of it all, and then everything is surrounded by metal foil shielding.

For anyone young enough to not have used a film camera at the time 24-36 exposures (pictures) was the norm depending on the film size the camera took. At 20 images this camera was in line with physical film cameras of the time, even if it seems limited compared to modern cameras.

I remember the PriFun and wanting it so bad unfortunately never got it. Didn't have money at the time. It was clearance priced too. Damn! Seeing it in a Funcoland magazine back cover advertisement. I remember reading the description, and thinking the machine was so ahead of its time.

My girlfriend's father had bought around the 2000 a Fujifilm MX 1200, one megapixel digital camera, that used Smart Media cards. With the camera, he got an adapter for reading the card in a floppy disk drive. It was an awesome solution by that time.
