An iDPhoto (ID-Photo) is a digital storage medium that was introduced to the market by Sanyo in 2000 .
iDPhoto disks store data by means of magneto-optical storage (MO disk). The disk is 59 mm × 56 mm × 4.8 mm and has a disk diameter of 50 mm. The storage capacity is 730 MB with a data transfer speed of 2 MB / s.
iDPhoto turned out to be a flop in Germany and is no longer supported.
The only camera that supported this format was the Sanyo IDC-1000Z.
