One of the times I saw that human stupidity has no limit.
It is with the arrival of the Single-Use Camera DIGITAL

Hi,

What does it use? WORM memory? Meaning you can only write to it one time. Read it all you want after.

No, it has this great invention: a delete function. It just does not have a port or removable media

I have been enjoying this thread—lots I didn't realize or completely forgot. My first digital was an Olympus C2020 purchased for $750 in late 1999. Not a bad camera for the time, and I even did a business portrait or two in the studio with it. 2mp. Interesting to see how far that camera and come from the ones just a couple of years previous.

Thank you very much for your feedback 👍🏻
Yes, the Olympus C-2020z was an excellent digital camera in its day.

I saw a rugged camera that you can take anywhere!
Unfortunately the results, to me seemed catastrophic

I'm not sure about Nikon's intention when releasing the KeyMission cameras in 2016.

Just for fun 😄

I did a mini comparison between my Nikon D500 and the KeyMission 80, to get a better idea of this little camera. One thing is sure, it doesn't take up much space in my camera bag. See here for more results: www.flickr.com/photos/maoby/albums/72157719410599952

You make the most interesting comparisons, that's for sure - excellent work! 👍

Do you know how well the KeyMission would have done against an iphone or another high-end smartphone at the time? In 2016 I think there was the iphone6... I felt like that camera was aldready pretty good, but I just looked it up and it had significantly less megapixels.
