 My mom had a disc camera during the short period of history these were made. I hadn't thought it possible to make something grainier and worse than 110 film, but they managed it.

About disc film on Wikipedia

I think the mirror on the front is interesting. I've seen a few cellphone cameras lately that include one of these, so you can frame yourself in the picture.

I remember these pieces of crap. I couldn't believe Kodak would come out with this. These cameras made me recommend 110 film cameras to my customers, what a farce. I noticed she bought the deluxe model too, I think it had auto film advance compared to the other models. Didn't sell any Minoltas though, only Kodaks. Looks like it's in great shape.

Interesting idea, that mirror, I didn't know about that. Never had the pleasure of owning a disc camera - from what you say, I guess it was a lucky escape. :)

Didn't we all have a disc camera at some point? What a concept though.
