I'm a modern Sony photographer, but I'm fascinated by these 8 historic cameras from Sony, from twisting lenses to recording to floppy disks

Sony's new camera, the Mavica. This camera doesn't use an ordinary film but a magnetic cassette, the Mavipak, which can record 50 shots, but also erase them and be used over again.

Sony has an interesting history and, ever since it started producing cameras in 1980, almost 40 years after its founding, it has released a host of just as interesting models.

Sony has a bunch of unusual cameras in its history, and as a Sony shooter, I love to look over its historic models. To celebrate 80 years of the company, which actually started out life on May 7 in 1946 as a producer of electric rice cookers under the name Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K., I’ve picked eight of Sony's most iconic cameras.
