Compact, simple, never any problems.  And what's wrong with those negatives?  One circular disc of negatives was far easier to organize than all of the 'strips' I got with my 35 mm.  I went back to it for a while after I couldn't afford to fix my expensive 35mm.  Now my Sony CyberShot has a stuck lens.  Give me back my Disc.  So the pictures weren't fantastic, at least it worked and I took a ton of them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeannie G]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 13th 2008 12:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Worst Gadgets of All Time 15]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-15/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-15/</guid><description><![CDATA[i had this camera and i really liked it but you couldnt enlarge the pics as 3x5 it was fine]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Linda Borden]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 13th 2008 2:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Worst Gadgets of All Time 15]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-15/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-15/</guid><description><![CDATA[I had a disc camera and I loved it!

It was great for amateur photography. It was one of the first completely automatic cameras that was widely available and inexpensive. Back, then many film cameras still required you to wind and load them, and fixed focus cameras were still pretty common. The disc camera was extremely simple to load. The film quality wasn't as good, but it was fine for most casual uses. It looked better than most of the cheap cameras that didn't have autofocus. It took better pictures than most cameras that used 110 sized film.<br><br>The disc camera failed, not because of a poor design or having no market for it. It failed because it naturally became obsolete. It enjoyed quite a few years as a popular format. Electronic cameras got more advanced, though (and cheaper). Kodak also came out with a full-size film format (Advantix) that was almost as easy to use and load. Finally, the digital camera made all film formats less popular -- not just disc.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JeremyAGeorgia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 11:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Worst Gadgets of All Time 15]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-15/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-15/</guid><description><![CDATA[OMG I had forgot I owned one of these when I was about 11. I loved that camera, for a kid it was a godsend cause it was so easy to use & never broke ( would probably still work today if I had the disc lmao ) but I always had a problem finding the disc's for them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sarah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 11:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Worst Gadgets of All Time 15]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-15/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-15/</guid><description><![CDATA[The design was approved based on film/print samples using "select"  (i.e. the best) sections of the production web (film).
