I actually read about this in a cheesy digital camera mag that I
signed up for at Comdex a year or two ago. Lemme try Google...
Turning up nothing. Hope this wasn't bogus in that mag... but I
did find a post in rec.photo.digital that mentioned it, but only
with respect to what the poster wanted in an ideal Sony camera.

uncompressed picture per disk. I shudder at the thought of carrying
around a trunkload full of floppies, and then depending on all of
those floppies to read properly. :)

I've heard good things about it, but I'm hoping for a solution that
will allow me to take hundreds, if not thousands of pictures while
we're in Italy and Greece next summer. Seems like it's either
Superdisk or find a Libretto to carry along with me...

| (...) I don't think that they even _have_ an uncompressed mode. 1024x768x24bit = 2.3M. Too big for a floppy. The FD-based mavicas, from what I've heard, do reallly nasty jpeg compression in order to fit stuff in such a small space. Compact flash is (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
