Summary: Sony = ease of use
Review: The Mavica line of cameras are easy to use and that is their forte. With the floppy disk access you're loosing somewhat on storage capacity (or the need to carry several floppies with you), but then, just pop it in and done. The viewer is high quality "real-time" LCD display, unlike some that are jittery, or feel like slow-motion movie.

The ability to take MPEG clips is very attractive. I found that short MPEG clips are sometimes more enjoyable to watch then going through your camcorder library while reviewing your your family archives.

They could be cheaper, though.

Summary: Sony MVC-FD85 High Quality yet Easy to Use
Review: The Sony MVC-FD85 is a superb camera. Although priced a little steep for most, using this camera is easy enough for the most mechanically inept. An easy to read menu bar which is illuminated on the LCD ,makes for easy access to index through pictures, edit, add effects, protect or delete pictures. The tools also allow you to select the size and quality of the pictures you want. At the highest quality setting, 6 pictures can be stored on one 3.5 floppy disk and 30 pictures at the lowest setting. All pictures are stored in JPG format and can be later saved using the "Monarch" Photo Lab Application that comes with the camera. The Sony MVC-FD85 Digital Camera can be used with both PC and Macintosh formats, making it an even more attractive buy.

I would definitely recommend this camera for the photo/Internet enthusiast!

Summary: great camera
Review: This camera is one of the best that I have used in my limited experience. It's easy to setup and easy to use. The only faults that I can find concerning it are the size and the fact that it does not have a traditional view-finder.

The size is due to the fact that it uses standard 3.5" floppy disks whic in itself is a plus. this means not having to purchase special storage media to use. Nor having to install special software to view the pictures when done. Just pop the floppy disk in the computer's drive and view away.

The lack of a view-finder does not hamper the use of the camera but would have probably make it a little easier to use for more "traditional" photographers.

Summary: FIVE STARS NOT HIGH ENOUGH!
Review: This is a fantastic digital camera. I bought it yesterday, charged the battery and was off and running. The convenience and ease of the floppy disk storage is incredible. I can't believe I can take a photo, pop the disk in my computer, click on a photo and...; there it is. I am not the most computer literate person (nor the least) but this camera should be labeled "the digital camera for idiots". I do not know how you could have trouble operating this camera...

Summary: More Pictures; Less Cost
Review: This is a perfect camera -- finally! In the past 2-3 years, Ihad been spending $... per roll of 24 pics in APS format, having thepictures developed, sent to me in an e-mail, and recorded on a CD.Last year alone, I practically paid for this camera. It uses a diskfor recording the pictures; I delete the pics I don't want. I get aperfectly acceptable picture from ordinary (cheap) printer paper. Mypurpose in buying the camera is to photograph items for presenting onEbay auctions. I had heard from at least two other individuals whoregularly run auctions, that this little camera does beautifulcloseups. However, it was so easy to operate when I openend ittonight that I couldn't resist photographing all the rooms in ourhouse for insurance inventory purposes, too. And to think I don'thave to spend any more money in developing costs. Most of my friendshave e-mail, and we just e-mail the pics back and forth.

Poor filmmanufacturer's will go broke if this idea catches on!

Review: Very happy with camera. Only complaint is 3.5" floppy's maximum capacity of 5 or 6 exposures burns up a lot of disks.
