If it has a battery or a cord, bring it to an Eco Station. Electronics and computers are accepted at no charge, and are taken to the Edmonton Waste Management Centre to be processed for recycling.
Casio QV-11

This box caught my eye when one of the guys from the computer department was showing me how to do some of their web work.
I had to take a picture of it; not only is it already a relic of the digital age, the box features the World Trade Center towers.
The resolution is .26 megabytes. The output, according to the spec page is 320×240 dots. What would you even do with that? There’s no place for a memory stick, it just has 2 MB of internal flash memory. The swivel lens is pretty cool though.
It takes four AA batteries, and when you shake it, it makes a vicious rattle, so I don’t think I’ll be shooting with it any time soon.
Oh, and for a major laugh, check out the battery pack this guy rigged up for his. Be sure to scroll down and see how he wears it on his belt. Now imagine him running through an airport with his camera.

But Chuck! It has a sweet 1.8" active screen! What more do you need?
AND a TFT Active Matrix!
Sign me up!
I bet it cost $1,000 or more when it came out
The guy who rigged the battery pack apparently paid only $200 for it.
Yea…my first digital camera was less than a megapixel and cost me a cool grand. A Sony Mavica FD-91. Go back in time with the dpreview review of the camera.
PS: You damn well better try and take some shots with this gem…
I looked at the cord that connects the camera to the computer, and I don’t even know where I would plug it in. It’s like 8-pin to 20-pin or something like that.
i recall those apple digital cameras way back in the day, the Quick Take
http://www.retrothing.com/2006/04/apple_quicktake.html
I was working at Kinko’s in college and we would rent them out to people. it was so bulky and goofy looking.
After a little more research, I discovered that it came out in 1997, and cost about $299.
Its predecessor, the QV-10, was the first consumer camera with a liquid crystal display, and that was in 1995.
sweeeeet
sober nod at packaging
I remember when my old boss bought a digital camera that used 3.5" floppies back in 1997 or 1998. We bought it to replace the old polaroid cameras we used to take pictures on customers’ roofs. He wasn’t really fond of other people touching it.
I bought this camera back in the day…
and yes .. I still have it……….
… you got me searching for my first digital from 1999 … it was cheaper; i.e., free w/ the purchase of my first toshiba satellite laptop … what craptastic fun … i did find my first bank account booklet from 1973 …
You have to get some pictures with this. I’m sure we can MacGyver something to transfer the pictures to your computer.
wow, great find!
and I’d never seen MacGyver used as a verb…
the belt! genius.
thanks so much for sharing this.
decom: I like to use MacGyver as a verb as often as I can. Other good verbs include "Indian Jones" or "A-Team". Sometimes when you MacGyver something improperly, you have to quickly Indiana Jones it.
I have one of these!
It was my first non-disposable camera…
Worked my butt off on summer vacation and bought one with the fat stacks of lawn mowing cash. I bought it brand new when they came out.
I’m not sure where it is at the moment, but last time I switched it on (two years ago?) it still worked!!
Remember, even in 2001, the average screen resolution of a computer is 800×600, it was until 2004 it’s 1024×768, and nowadays it’s average 1280×800.
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Low Res Digital Camera Collection, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
