OT: Trying to remember a camera
« on: May 23, 2010, 11:02:29 AM »
I'm trying to remember a P+S camera my Great Uncle had in the early 90s.

It seemed really space-aged, with a curvy front.  It was black, and I think had some blue on it?

I can remember seeing it in AP or something and it was pretty top of the range for a P+S.

I thought it was either a Minolta or a Konica but can't find it on the web.

Any ideas?

Thanks,



Chops

It is! No wonder it has a name like that.

And from memory, it also had some good reviews to back it up...
Very sci-fi, low production run (I think people were put off by the biomorphic design).
