No matter what stay with a sony and you'll be happy! I've used kodak and casio and neither even start to compair
Rating: Summary: "Moving Pictures" Review: Digital will soon drop off the reference to these types of cameras. With this camera the world can see what I see. I don't even own a computer (why bother, use is free at my public library) but I can view my images even MOVIES stored on a standard 3-1/2" floppy disk and with free e-mail and web pages my eyes are available to the world for only the one time cost of this great Sony camera!

Rating: Summary: Great camera ! Review: I bought the Sony Mavica FD85 as a Christmas gift to myself. So far I couldn't be happier. After much reading about digital camera's I knew I wanted this camera. It seemed to me that using a floppy was much easier than having to hook up cables. And it's a breeze to view the pictures I've taken ! The FD85 has an easy to understand menu that pops up on the LCD screen. The mini movie feature is fun to play around with too. Some folks talk about it's bulky size because of using a floppy disk to store the images, but it's no bigger than my Pentax K1000 35mm camera and lighter in weight. And I don't have to drop everything to change to my zoom lens as with my Pentax. One thing I didn't care for is the ArcSoft PhotoStudio software included with the camera. It's cheap and very hard to adjust your pictures. I never did get a decent photo printed out using that software. So, I started using my Adobe PhotoDeluxe and it works great ! The pictures I've printed out have been of good quality and suitiable for framing. The only reason I didn't give this camera a 5 star rating was because I've only had it a week. I will post another review after I've used it for several months. In a nutshell, this was a great gift to myself and well worth the money.
Rating: Summary: great camera Review: I bought this camera and absolutely love it. It takes nice pics , is easy to use and has a lot of "extras" Best of all it's easy and you can use floppies. This is nice becuse when at family gathering I can take pics and simply give people the disks instead of fussing with cables and uploading. Defianately worth it :)
Rating: Summary: A very good value Review: I bought this camera based on some previous experience with the Mavica FD-73 digital camera...which has lower specs, but its operation is almost identical. I didn't want to put out too much money on this camera, yet I didn't want to chintz on the technical aspect. Another reason I bought this camera is because Sony is one of the few (if not the only) manufacturer to say in its sales pitch that their camera does MPEGs...and in comparison tables, not all digicams make MPEGs. As with a lot of new digital devices, there are almost too many bells & whistles built-in, to the point it's overwhelming. However, with a little practice, and time spent reading the owner's manual (yes, be a nerd, and READ IT), it's quite easy to operate. The sepia effects that are available are fantastic. There are still a lot of features on this camera I need to explore. One thing I have noticed on the MPEGs, is that if you double-click the filename, once you have the MPEG in/on your PC, it opens in a very small window, and the audio seems to be at double-speed. However, when viewing with Media Player, it works fine. Maybe it's just me. OVerall, a good camera at a good price...something in the middle of the road, but it satisfies my needs.
Rating: Summary: A great camera usiing yesterday and tomorrow's technology! Review: I had tried out the FD73 and found the picture quality lacking. The FD83 takes pictures that are much better. I love being able to use floppies to record images... it's so wonderful to not have to use some cable or anything else to retrieve your pictures... just pop your disk into your computer and get started!I also love the video feature... I can take short little videos of my kids and email them to the grandparents who live elsewhere. It's like giving them a chance to see their grandkids every day. This camera is soooooo easy to use. And when you use it, everybody says, "Wow! That's so cool!" And they want to know all about it, how much it cost, etc. The only flaw I've found: I do find that when I put the camera on the highest quality settings, I can only get about 6 pictures per floppy disk (yesterday's technology) which is somewhat annoying. At some point, I will probably invest in the Smart/Memory Stick (tomorrow technology) and an adaptor which will allow me to take tons of pictures at one setting. I really love this camera... a great investment!
Rating: Summary: Excellent value - easy to use Review: I have always had a preference for Sony electronics, so when I decided to purchase a digital camera, I started researching Sony first. I've had my camera for a year now and can honestly say I would recommend it to anyone looking to buy a reliable, easy to use, excellent picture quality digital camera. The pop up menus are easy to reconnoiter and adjust, but do take the time to learn the features before you venture out on a picture taking trip. Depending upon the resolution, I got 10-20 pictures on a 3.5 floppy. I am now looking at purchasing a memory stick to avoid having to deal with so many floppy disks. The case it comes with is adequate but really only large enough for a few discs and the camera so had to pack to charger unit in another bag. I took the camera on vacation last year to Canada. As long as I charged it up each evening I was set for the next day. If you care to see the picture quality, feel free to visit some of my online pics at: http://www.tmfwebdesign.com/vacation/ This camera also takes up to 15 second moving pictures. This gives you a little bit more in terms of 'memories', but it is not a video camera, so please keep that in mind. I recommend this highly.
Rating: Summary: This couldn't be any easier to use! Review: I have been using this camera for work and have been so impressed with how easy it is to use. I want one for at home now!
