Upgrading Mavica FD7 camera

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

Is there a way to upgrade a Sony Mavica FD71 camera so that its resolution would increase from the wretched 640x480? When I bought it there was nothing better here in Russia, I mean diskette-based cameras. Now I don't want to buy a new one because refurbishing to a ~1200x1078 could solve all my problems.

Nyet Anatole.
Sorry - the issue isn't the software - it's the actual hardware used to capture the image.
I'll bet the relative cost of a megapixel digital camera in Russia would blow me away - so I can understand your predicament. Has Zenit indicated anything for digital yet? (Are they still in business?).
