A family of digital cameras from Sony that use floppy or CD-R drives for storage. Introduced in 1997, the floppy-based Mavica was the first digital camera to include a floppy drive. Although storage was limited to a handful of 640x480 images per disk, it was popular because floppies were inexpensive and provided a universal transfer mechanism. Subsequently, Mavicas that burned the small 80mm CD-R discs were introduced and provided a giant leap in storage capacity.
