While the earliest Mavica models from Sony used 3.5" floppy disks as a storage medium, the "CD" series adopted writable 8 cm diameter optical discs. This led to some "interesting" case styling, as Sony attempted to unify a camera and what was essentially a small Discman into a single plastic housing. The mini-CD format offered substantially more capacity than floppy disks, 156 MB using Sony's formatting[1].
The Mavica MVC-CD400 (as it was formally known) is a 4 megapixel model from 2002 with a Carl Zeiss-branded 3x zoom lens. Opening to f/2.0 at the wide setting (and f/2.5 at the tele end), this was quite a respectable specification compared to later pocket digitals.
