You are speaking about 3.5", correct?
Where abouts are you located? (approximately)

Also, what density are you looking for? 400K, 800K, or 1.4MB?

Mavica floppy disk cameras used 1.44M. Some of the later ones could use Memory Stick in a FlashPath adapter. IIRC the last one or two of that line had a separate slot for the Memory Stick. Dunno why Sony never made a 2.88M Mavica.

Oddball digital cameras are something I have an interest in...and I have a
couple of the Mavica's, one of which does indeed have a memory card slot.
Another fancier and earlier model I have supports a 3.5" to Memory Stick
adapter, though I don't think that one was a "FlashPath", I think that was
the name for the SmartMedia (SSFDC, or "Solid State Floppy Disk Card")
adapter "disk". I also have a Mavica that uses mini CD-R/CD-RW's. Then
there's the Agfa camera that uses 40Mb Iomega "Clik!" / "PocketZip", and the
Panasonic that uses LS-120 disks. But...I digress... The most likely
reason for not making one with a 2.88Mb drive is that so few computers had
such a drive. The appeal of the Mavica was easy transfer, plus a cheap
storage medium...not an easy transfer if your computer doesn't support the
disk, plus I imagine they were substantially more expensive. Personally, I
always thought they were ugly and clunky, plus low quality images, mainly in
order to fit more than a couple onto a disk.

Keep an eye out at local thrift stores, I see them turn up from time to
time. I've started buying them whenever I find them that aren't too
expensive, as I know they are no longer being made.
The Vintage Computer Forums have a "wanted" section, you could try there too
-http://www.vcfed.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?29-Vintage-Comp uter-Items-Wante
d
Ebay would be another option, and even Amazon probably has some, though they
would be used or NOS.

Good morning,
I need a source for new floppy discs. I use a Sony Mavica camera which takes
photos onto floppies which I then can put on my 1999 Apple desktop computer.
I have had no luck in sourcing new floppies but am sure there is still a
need for them & am thinking someplace has them. Any leads appreciated.

How many are you looking for? I have quite a stash, and can probably
stand to give some up.
