A kids' disc camera! Really? Oh wait....THAT type of disc camera. It looks pretty sweet though & that lens barrel just screams, "Diana!".
;D ;D

I remember that from my childhood. I remember the flash cube rotated when you clicked through the pictures. It's like a 2D View-Master. It's amazing how those memories come back when you see a picture of something. Until I saw this I remembered my first camera being a Kodak Instamatic X-15F. Thanks for sharing that Ed!

Strangely I never got the Fisher Price camera!
I was more into cars at that age :)

My wife still has the 110 style Fisher Price camera that her dad brought back from the States for her in the early 70's. Our kids played with it a lot when they were younger.

Ha we have a 110 style Fisher Price camera for my son! He occasionally plays with it but hilariously he likes to use my wife's real 110 camera she had from her childhood as a gun!

I did the same thing! I had taped a paper towel tube to the electronic flash and used it as a sort of ray gun :)

I'd really love to have the thermal paper one!
Fisher Price did create some pretty wonderful stuff. The PXL-2000 was really good. It recorded B&W with sound on a single audio cassette.

Here's the results it gave.

He repairs and modifies them, some of the modified ones sell for over $400 :o

I know, you should see the PXL's wikipedia page!

This thing's been used in so many movies. I heard it's even been used in the movie Aliens for the images on the security cameras.

Oh in my student days I coveted the PXL 2000 something fierce. Occasionally, they'd go for under a hundred but in bad shape and unmodified. And I regularly saw them go for $200+ (even unmodified). I never did get one... One man's junk is another's treasure.
