Konica joined the short-lived still-video camera movement in 1987, announcing the full-featured KC-400. As with the other electronic still cameras of this era, it was not digital; instead, images were stored in the form of analog scan lines onto special 2" video floppy disks. The body styling broke with film-camera convention, as it was intended to be gripped horizontally. Its 1/2"-format CCD sensor had about 300,000 pixels of resolution[1]. A KL-40 Zoom Hexanon 12-36mm f/1.6 autofocus zoom was offered. The KC-400 was intended for professional users—and at about USD $4000[2], priced accordingly. (Konica's followup KC-300 was cheaper.)
