The Digital Camera With A CompactFlash Card
Four AA batteries, 64 photos, and a screen you could not see outside.
Point and shoot digital cameras that ate batteries, filled a card in an afternoon, and were still a revelation.
The shutter lag meant every photo was taken half a second after the moment. Every group shot from this era is slightly wrong.
Getting them onto the computer meant a cable, a driver disc, and a folder called "New Folder (2)" that is still on an external drive somewhere.
