It's an unusual digital camera. A Sony Mavica FD200 that can store images
on both a 3.5 diskette and a memory card. It requires a special battery,
not just one you can pick up at the local drug store. Frankly, I'm pretty
much getting tired of photography in general. I go through phases. I'll
take photos for a few years, then stop.

I used to take lots of 35mm photos. I have two excellent 35mm cameras. The
problem with those is you have to remember to drop the film off and pick it
up LOL
