| 8 cm CD-R drive in Mavica CD1000 image by Jim Landon (Image rights) |
The 2000 Mavica MVC-CD1000 was the first Mavica digital camera from Sony to use optical CD-R discs, where earlier models had used 3.5" floppies. While floppies made it simple to move images onto a computer, with the maximum 1600×1200 resolution of the CD1000, a floppy would only hold about four images. The mini CD format allowed 156 MB to be stored, although it made the camera rather large and oddly-shaped. Also contributing to the bulk was a constant f/2.8 zoom covering a 10x range from 6–60 mm, for a 35mm equivalent of 39–390 mm.
The later and similar-in-specs Mavica FD97 opted for a dedicated a Memory Stick slot rather than the oddball CD-R drive.
