LGR - Panasonic SuperDisk Camera from 1999
🕑 Added 2024-08-19 22:44:01 +0000 UTCGreetings, all – it's been a minute! Things have been kinda nuts lately, in no small part due to conventions.
My brother and I spent a full week in New York both hanging out in the city and then as a guest at Long Island Retro Gaming Expo (expect two videos from me about that soon, one being a travel vlog and the other a more conventional convention video.) And as I type this, I'm preparing to travel to Hartford, Connecticut for Retro World Expo! Won't be doing a video there, I'm just making a standard LGR appearance with a table and some merch, hanging out with anyone who stops by. So it'll be a far less intense event but still – it's another bunch of days I won't get to work on videos.
But hey, in between working on convention videos I've put together this 90s digital camera retrospective! I always enjoy doing these and since I was headed to NY anyway, I figured I'd take the opportunity to photograph somewhere different than usual. The SD4090 is a surprisingly enjoyable digicam to use and the video was fun to put together, so I hope you enjoy! If nothing else I was just happy to work on anything other than convention footage after looking at only that for two weeks straight, haha. We ended up with like 6 hours of footage and it's absurd...
But now it's back to the convention video editing grindstone for a couple days, as well as attending RWX this week. Oh and the July Wrap Up for $5+ supporters will be up soon, too.
Thank you as always for your support! It is especially appreciated during these weirdly-scheduled months where I can't post as many videos as I'd like.

Just getting around to watching this now and I absolutely love the slideshow of city pics. Any chance we could ever get an “Lazy Digital Gallery” of photos you’ve taken with various old bits of tech?

Oh man, the dick pics part got me. 🤣

A friend of mine had a LS120 drive in his PC and i was a bit envied at the time. By the way, sadly can't find a single SD4090 on German Ebay. -.-

That´s a cool device. I got me a Sony F505 from the same year and yes, it´s fun to use these old cameras. Also interesting to see that the USB port from Panasonic seems to be the same as on my 2014 superzoom camera.

Love this, big fan of your camera videos. It was the era that got me introduced to photography as a 12-14 year old, so these early 2000s digital cameras always thrill me.

omg.. Iv had one of those usb super drives connected to my main computer for years and I thought it was just a mac aesthetic external floppy drive; it never occurred to me that the super referred to super disks!!

What is this "less intense event" you speak of? Blasphemy! Looking forward to the retro expo vids; have always been curious to see what non-MGC retro expos are like.

Missed the opportunity to toss in the Winston Salem edition Empire State Building but looking like a great classic camera there.

Ah crap I forgot all about LIRGE; I've (lifelong Long Islander) been meaning to go for a while =P Maybe next year
