Old Camera Question

[NicoleScraps]

What were those cameras called from back in the 80's that had round disks, kind of like the disks for the View Master toy?

I had a pink one of those cameras and I cannot remember what it was called. I can't even remember if the actual film was on the disk or if that was just the negative that you got back after developing.

Anybody know what I am talking about?

My mom had one of those! LOL What a ripoff they were. The disks only had 15 exposures and they were not cheap! I remember borrowing it on my 8th grade trip to Washington D.C. and all my friends were jealous that I had such a high-tech camera, haha.

I guess it was a step up from the 110 camera she had that had the replaceable flash bulbs.

My dad used to have a 110 camera too. LOL. I had kinda forgotten about those.

I remember the 110 camera! I thought it was a step up from the polaroid I started on, the one with the bellows on the side and the little timer on the strap to let you know when to peel the picture off the backing? The 110s were big when I was in middle school. Everyone had one for class trips.
Of course, my mother and father wouldnt let me NEAR their canon ftb until my senior year in high school (1990 I think - I repressed most of high school) when they offered photography as an art class. Then I was on the bottom end of the spectrum, because everyone seemed to have an auto-exposure, auto-focus camera, and mine was ONLY manual everything. It was given to me around 10 years ago, still works great, and has some nice glass.
