| Here we can see the 8cm Mini CD-R compared to a traditional 12cm CD-R disc. Most modern CD-ROM, CD-R/RW drives feature a second groove cut into the tray specifically for these smaller discs (image below). | If yours doesn't, fear not, Sony have provided this nifty clip-in adapter which converts the 8cm disc to 12cm size for compatibility with such older drives. |

As you can see it is possible to buy cheaply in bulk, even just $0.79 per Disc.
This may take a while.. The CD1000 has a variety of connections and they're spread all over the camera. As an interesting footnote the CD1000 is the first Mavica to have any kind of external transfer capability, its USB port can be used to mount the CD-R as an external drive on a PC or Mac.

On the right side of the camera in the hand grip you'll find the DC power-in connector into which you plug the supplied charger / AC adapter. |
On the right side below the lens is AV output for use with the supplied AV cable you'll get two RCA connectors, one video out and one audio out. |
 |
 |
|
Left side below the lens is the USB port, again a (rather short) cable is supplied. |
External flash connector can be found on the left side of the camera just below the left strap mount, this is for use with Sony's HVL-F1000 external flash unit. |
 |
I'm a little disappointed by Sony's tripod mount, it's simply too small and too close to the edge of the base to be of any use. Especially with a camera this big! its one saving grace is that it's metal and located in line with the lens / focal plane. Also, no rubber base or rubber feet which would have helped steady the camera for those low light shots. |
 |
The CD1000's little internal flash pops up out of the top of the camera when you press the Open (Flash) button (you can just about see it on this shot). Popping up the flash immediately puts the camera in the last flash mode used and a full charge ready to shoot takes between 2 and 3 seconds. It's rated at 0.6 - 2.5 m (23 " - 8 ft). You could always complement it with Sony's external HVL-F1000 flash unit. |
