@avavsystems @obsoletemediauk @foone "still video camera" is a moment in time
@avavsystems I had a Canon iON camera in the early 90s, and a video card to read the "still video images" into the PC. Here's one of the images I took on the iON in September 1993, the day after a massive flood in my home town.

@avavsystems @obsoletemediauk @foone I’ve had one of these Canon VF cameras for ages, unfortunately I don’t have the battery or proprietary charger/power adapter.
Odd and interesting bit of tech, I need it figure out a way to get it running someday.
