Main advantages
* Super high capacity storage/ floppy disk compatible
The Panasonic PV-SD4090 and PV-SD5000 digital cameras offer super high capacity storage on a 120MB SuperDisk™ Diskette for up to 1500 shots on the PV-SD4090 (Up to 1000 on PV-SD5000). Also, both cameras are floppy disk compatible.
* USB Port/External SuperDisk™ Drive
Both cameras come equipped with a USB port so you can quickly and easily transfer images from either a SuperDisk™ Diskette or floppy disk (using the included USB cable) to your computer, even if your computer does not come equipped with either a SuperDisk™ Drive or floppy disk drive. In addition, images and data can be transferred from your computer to the camera using the included USB cable*.
