In 2001, I purchased my first digital camera, a Sony Mavica CD-300. Along the way, I added pretty much every accessory I could get - the special Sony wide lens, the external chargers, the adapters, and whatnot.

I don't use it a whole lot these days, but it still took pretty damn nice pictures for the age. I attribute that to a large lens compared to the small pixel count.

Got it out last weekend, took a couple of pictures. They wrote to the CD, but it seemed...slow. Then, "Drive error."

Crap. The CD doesn't spin anymore. RIP old friend, we had many good times together.
