engadget's Blast from the Past

"The good people at Fotomat aren’t gonna dig this, but if you’re tired of running down to the shop to get your photos developed you should check out this new “still video camera” that Fuji developed. The ES-1 can snap 640 x 480 pixel pics with its 2/3-inch digital sensor and then save the images to 3.5-inch floppy disks (if only those things didn’t cost so damn much, anyone have a hook up on cheap floppies?) in a new file format called JPEG, or Joint Photographers Experts Group, that was created last year."



engadget has a great feature article that takes me down memory lane - I was just starting to get into computers in 1985, so most of this is an echo of the technology I remember, but it's still a great read.
