This 1999 Digital Camera Uses Tiny Clik Disks! Agfa CL30

Checking out the world’s first (and only) digital camera using Iomega Clik disks for storage! Each disk held 40MB and cost just $10, a tenth the price of CompactFlash. Quite impressive in 1999! But this odd diversion in the late 90s digicam market was short lived, and its impact on digital photography is... well, no one remembers it. But it sure was neat! ● LGR links: ● An album of photographs taken with the CL30 and PDC-1100: 00:00 You ever had a Clik disk camera? 01:03 Clik versus Compact Flash 02:29 Agfa and their digicam licensing 03:48 Unboxing the CL30 Clik! 05:12 Looking at the camera itself 08:36 It’s half-dead... so is my other one 09:40 Taking pictures, adjusting settings 10:45 CL30 photo examples 13:10 Downscaling, interpolation, comparisons 15:05 Windows 95 PhotoWise software 15:35 A forgotten failure, still kinda neat! #LGR #retro #photography #camera #digital
