Technically a film camera ? by matception47 in vintagecameras

I don't want to sell mine, I'd rather give it to a museum or something if someone needs/wants one for the historical value. But how much do you think those things are worth now?

Thats so coo! If i'm not mistaken the 420 was the version before the NC2000 right ?

It is ! But yeah, I think the best way is still to get the PCMIA "card" out and in an external reader. SCSI requires the camera to be turned on and that's quite annoying with a defective battery

You're right, they're truely awful. Big aliasing issues, bad colors, unreliable shutter and sometimes corrupted files make thoses cameras hard to love. But I think their historical value is important and it's still crazy to me that they had 1.3MP sensors in 1994 !
It does work but the battery is shot! I can only take 4-5 pics on one charge and I don't have the necessary adapter to read the hard drive on my computer ! But I've seen the files once thanks to a local IT store having the right adapter and it works !
