Summary: Still using my Mavica, 2nd review
Review: I originally reviewed this camera March '01 and just found my review on a web search. I gave it a "5" and still do - easy to use and great price. The floppies save you from crawling around hooking stuff behind the computer - always a nightmare in MY office! For online selling the pics are great, closeups are the only letdown and if you are very careful you can do "ok" but not great. Still a big bang for the buck and it's been A+++ for function, not a problem ever and I'm a heavy user. A solid buy, you could do much worse!

Review: I'm no techie and like things simple, straightforward and easy to use. This camera fits the bill. I limit digital photography to web usage, sending pics via email, looking at pics on my computer or TV via DVD player, posting pics on eBay and hobby websites, etc. and this camera is perfect for those purposes. The use of floppy discs is particularly nice and so is the outstanding macro/close-up capability. If you plan to blow up pics fairly large and print them, a higher resolution camera may be preferable, but for 95% of my needs this camera is perfect and so much easier to use than my wife's fancy, expensive, high resolution camera with more of bells and whistles.

Review: I bought this camera at $300 for my web-based business. The deciding factor was it's ability to write directly to floppy disks which saves time and memory downloading to my laptop computer. The advantage of this camera is it's versatility in picture storage. The typical memory card is also available.The picture quality is excellent for a 2 megapixal camera. It meets and exceeds the requirements for photo-editing for web content. Using photoshop 7.0 is simple with imports from disk on this camera which saves me using hard drive space for stages in production. The disadvantage to this camera is it's size and weight. I took it on my most recent visit to Europe and felt that I needed a pullman bag just to accomadate my camera. I originally thought that it's size would be outweighed (no pun intended) by it's advantage of floppy format, thereby saving the need to buy expensive memory cards. It doesn't however. I bought a small digital camera with higher pixel ability for travel which suit my needs much better. I would recommend this for anyone who wants 35 mm quality. Taking my laptop is as easy as taking the mavica. Again, if your usage is web based, the mavica cannot be beat. I would reconsider if you want an easy camera for travel/everyday pictures. The size and print quality is not feasible. --Kathryn White-Fidram

Summary: FD75
Review: Great if you want an easy to use camera, and good value for money. However, I now own 5 mp camera and woouldn't go back. The FD75 is only 0.3 mp, and is ok until you want to enlarge pictures. The camera is great for kids to use at school, but I would not use it for those important occassions, when quality counts.
