Every picture you see here was captured by a Sony FD Mavica on floppy disks. This technology predates the first cellphone, the Great Recession, and even the release of Shrek. This is a photo-only camera from the year of 2001 — there is not a single hint of modern or high-resolution in this operation.

The Mavica takes images with 640 pixels of width and 480 pixels of height, otherwise known as Standard Definition. Unlike Full HD with a whopping two megapixels, we are working with 0.3 megapixels spanning a wonderful 4:3 canvas. So no, the images are not blurry because they are slow to load. If you were wondering about resolution, that's alk we've got. At least they take up very little storage on everything but floppy disks.
We are on magnetic media.

Being an FD Mavica (Magnetic Video Camera), photos are captured on 3.5-inch floppy disks. Three and a half-inch platters of iron oxide, revolving to carry 1.44 MB of data, are what enable us to retrieve the images you see here. The driving technology of floppy disks predate the camera by three decades and outlived its model year by another. Manufacturers no longer produce the medium, nor is it standard to find a reader for them in personal computers. All the floppies involved in this operation but one were bought off of a friend, and a floppy drive had to be bought independently.
