Summary: No extra expenses!
Review: The MAVICA records it's images on an ordinary 3.5" floppy -
just like is sold for computers ($.30, in packs of 10).
It can even view the images taken without a PC! When you're ready to see them on your PC, or send them as e-mail attachments, just pop them into you A: drive and select the version with a .jpg image (the other one is used by the MAVICA,
so it can view the .jpg image without a computer).

Summary: Its worth the money
Review: I got the Sony MVC-FD75 as a gift for christmas and im so happy with it and the pics it takes. Its so easy to use and with a floppy disk you can e-mail pics much faster then with a camera with port cables you have to hook up to your PC .

Summary: PERFECT PICTURES EVERY TIME!
Review: I love the Mavica. We've only filled two floppy disks with pictures ( about 78 pics) and every photo is fantastic! It's easy to use, plus floppy disks are WAY cheaper than the memory cards (they run about $50 and only store 6 pictures or so...but the floppys are dirt cheap and store anywhere from 20 hi-res photos to 40 low-res photos). Worth the money. Tons of great features!

Summary: Ease of use, universal compatibility make this a great buy
Review: Picture this, you are on a nice vacation somewhere and you have taken many pictures with your new digital camera. You get back to your hotel or maybe a relative's house and want to load the pictures onto a PC to e-mail them to your friends and relatives. How easy is that? With the 'memory card'-based cameras, sure you can fit 100 high quality images in your camera, but then to get them off the camera and onto the PC, you need a hookup cable (and the proper port on the PC you plug into) PLUS the software CD included with your camera. Even with those things, you have no guarantee it'll work to hookup to that particular PC. Contrast, with diskettes as your media, you not only have universal compatibility with every PC on the planet, you also do not have a speicific limit to the number of pictures you can take (since you just keep feeding in diskettes as if they were 'film'). A diskette is also FAR cheaper than a memory card or even traditional film. The other big selling factor which goes along with the compatibility issue is the ease of use. The menus are intuitive and things aren't that much different mechanically than a standard camera. You can learn as you go without paying any penalty really. I'm totally sold on the diskette approach depite the fact that I can only fit maybe 15 'fine' quality images on one diskette. I don't mind, because the virtually unlimited storage (limited only by the number of diskettes you have with you), is awesome. What's not to like? Because of the diskette drive which is embedded in the camera, it's bigger than many other digital cameras, making it tough to just slip in your pocket. On the flip side, it's not going to get lost easily either. The image quality leaves a little to be desired, but most entry-level digital photographers won't be disappointed. The image quality is more than adequate for e-mailing shots of the family to friends and relatives, and there are several settings which can help, namely "fine" quality setting, and "bitmap" format. Those two, while bigger, produce good looking results. For action shots or basic candid photos at evens, you can get 30 pictures with 'standard' quality JPEG settings. For the price, up to half as much as many digital cameras out there now, this Sony camera is worth a look. If you're not picky about the size, not hungup on megapixels, and looking for something very easy to use anywhere you go, this is the camera to get.

Summary: Sony Mavica best camera on the market.
Review: I have had my Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 for about 3 years digital cameras were just coming on the market at reasonable prices then. I Love it! (...) When I have traveled overseas I didn't have to worry about running out of disks. I could take all the pictures I wanted without worrying about docking to a computer to unload or free up space for more photos, or only taking specific pictures so you don't run out of room. The pictures all turned out great. I make Jewelry and have a web site. It takes great pictures for that also. I love taking pictures of the flowers in my gardens and they look like you could pick them right off of the screen. I just wish they would include their own photo editing software for people who don't have a good photo editor. I use a professional photo editor with mine. I doubt that there is any software that it would not work with since all photos are saved in the .jpg format. I can pop a disk from the camera right into my computer and my online software pulls up the pictures right on screen and into emails. My whole family can share every special event as soon as it happens. My Mom, Sister and Aunt have purchased Mavicas also and I have not heard anything but praise from them either. It is a great gift to bring your family closer together.

Summary: Sony 's the one
Review: We have used the Sony digital camera for business use for about 3 years. It is dependable and has great pics. We use it for product review, and the disk load is easy to use. Stores adequate number of pics and computer ease was my reason for choice. The camera has many features that are easy to use, also. The how to use book is a bit difficult to understand but with a little thought, it is a great purchase for the price. Try it you'll like it.

Summary: I ADORE my FD75!!!!!!!
Review: I purchased my FD75 for the birth of my second child as I have not captured too many images of my firstborn and I knew I just needed a gimick to get going. Well, it worked! I take pix almost every day of my family, friends and everyday objects. Living in a different state than the rest of my family has been hard but now we all feel a lot closer sharing pix all the time (my parents have a FD75, too.) As for prints, I have gotten good 4x6 prints from Ofoto.com and have been very pleased with the quality. Only upon colse inspection do they look less than lovely. As a dedicated scrapbooker I am really quite pleased with the quality. I've even gotten some nice 5x7 Sepia toned prints. I have only good things to say about this camera. Disregard the reviews of "one star" as it seems that these people did not do their research and wanted pro-quality prints from this little (low mega-pixel) wonder. GREAT CAMERA! ps This format works really well with my dinosaur of a computer... I don't have a UPC port and the floppy disk was a deciding factor for me. Very nifty feature.

Summary: easy as ,1,2,3
Review: I ought this camera for its ease and quick response to be able to be used with floppy disks. This seems like a universal medium so as to print and trade pictures with family and friends. My wife loves the point and click and the simplicity of use. For the money this provides a high value for us.

Summary: This camera just plain ROCKS!!!
Review: Well I just got this Cam. a few weeks ago and I love it. Talk about easy to use, I was able to pull it straight out of the box and get it going(I already had a charged battery from my camcorder)this thing is such a cinch to use. I have yet to find out what the picture quality is like when I print them out but thats not what this camera is really for, use this camera for great quality web pics, just make sure there is good lighting otherwise the pictures may be grainy and or pixalated. This camera may be a bit spendy for some but I feel its well worth the money. Allright now go get this camera!! You wont be sorry.
