      Does anyone know why early digital cameras (Apple QuickTake, Canon Xap Shot, Bauer, Sony Mavica) had this peculiar asymmetrical sandwich-like form factor I haven’t seen before or since?pic.twitter.com/ZlzUSDh6de

          my personal favourite was the Nikon coolpix which they allowed you to swivel, which actually functioned as an early form of "selfie" camera in 2000~pic.twitter.com/R3zOhnYHwP

          Was it to do with the media they were saving to? I remember our school had an absolute beast of a camera that saved to a 3.5" floppy. Held about 12 photos.

          there were some fairly strange things happening with film cameras at ~ the same time, e.g. these two. Olympus AZ-4 and Ricoh Mirai 105pic.twitter.com/h19itnFBdb

          but I think really it comes down to a form-follows-function design approach. They had a lump of electronics, an optical path that had to happen somewhere, and the easiest thing was to put the optics on the side rather than design around them.

          Probably the media format. Some saved to floppies, some to other physical rotating storage?
