Summary: *snap!*
Review: Welp,

I have owned a few cameras in the past couple of years and once I saw this one writing onto little compact discs, I was ready to jump all over this one.

I must admit, at first I was a little dismayed by the reviews I saw in here about it being horribly slow at recording and so on. I was also dissapointed to see the 15-60 second limit on recording time.

However, as soon as I pulled this one together and took it out, I was absolutelty thrilled. I use this one a lot for nature shots, getting pictures of the ocean, trees, cliffs and that kind of thing. Without filters this camera seems to take some of the more amazingly vivid pictures I have seen. The LCD display does little justice to the shot, but once you hook it up to your computer and wait the 30 or 40 minutes it takes to transmit all the pictures with the software included, your eyes will be pleasantly suprised. The size does not bother me at all, even though I thought it would have. I have had no problem with that other then the fact that I cannot fit this one in my coat pocket or something. The weight seems about the same as a soda can, and even standing there waiting for the perfect shot to come along with the camera to my face for a good twenty minutes did not make my arms tired. All of my friends are always very impressed, and dying to see the new pictures that I have taken. I enjoy the media, being only that its a very cool thing to be carrying the three inch cd's around. As well as the 156 meg size on them. A pack of 5 of them will cost you 20 bucks, plus the camera comes with 5. I have taken over 200 shots and I'm only halfway through my second disc. I've had it since December. No, you cannot delete the pictures, but if you're going from a film camera this will not matter too much. The case is a bit of a joke. Its a bikeseat for 50$. The battery life is about 140 minutes fully charged with the LCD off in camera mode. I have to see, taking pictures or short little movies I am thoroughly, without a doubt glad that I bought this camera.

Summary: Sony Mavica MVCCD1000
Review: While I do not personally own this camera, my younger brother does and I have seen the beautiful, high quality photographs that he is able to take with it. The pictures are so sharp that they are breath-taking. I suspect this is due to the Zeiss lens. It is also easy to frame the subject in any light because it has a good view finder whereas many of the newer models rely solely on the LCD screen which is hard to use in bright sunlight or in low-light situations. The nicest feature is the ability to store photographs on the 3" CD, which then comes out of the camera and goes directly into a standard CD drive on your PC. This mode of storage allows the photographer to take hundreds of shots while in the field without having to download a memory stick or memory card after 19 or 38 (depending upon the size of the memory card)to a PC. The small CDs are easily transported in the camera bag and make the camera a real winner in my book. I particularly like the the view finder over the LCD screen for ease of framing the subject and getting the best results. If this camera had had a slightly higher pixel rating, I would have given in five stars, but from the pictures my brother has sent to me and the ones I have seen printed in 8X10 framed pictures, I have been sold on this camera. Absolutely the most professional looking pictures I have ever seen from an amateur photographer. Color saturation and accuracy are also top notch. It has all the right features to suit my needs.

Summary: My what a large camera
Review: Yes it's big. It's got a big 20X zoom lens and image stabilization. It's got big 8cm CDR's that permanently hold 160 or more 1600x1200 pictures. It also has a great battery that is good for hours of shooting. The LCD is a big 2.5 inches and the viewfinder allows framing good shots in bright sunlight. What I think is the most outstanding feature of this camera is the CDR format that allows endless picture taking without have to download to a computer. The blank CDR are cheap, I have found them for as little as $... each in tens. I think this camera will maintain a high resale value for years to come and become a coveted item.

Summary: SONY CAMERA IS NO BOLONEY!
Review: You can't believe it! The looks of envy from other camera owners is just the start. Using this camera is pure joy. I've taken 293 pics so far on the 1st of 5 discs included.I've found that the 640 x 480 resolution looks perfect for emails, web site use and printing, and at that resolution I can get over 1000 pictures per disc. The manual states for email it uses a smaller resolution, but what you display on the LCD can be captured straight onto email or used on your web page. And get this...you can zoom your taken picture size with the zoom lever and print out the close up view. The slideshow feature is excellent for presentations being the time interval can be set for narrating during playback. And with audio pics you can speak about your subject for up to a minute while taking the picture. Also using the movie mode allows both action shots and sound recording of your event.For birding with a camera, the color viewfinder and 10X optical zoom is excellent for that golden-cheeked warbler in the Texas Hill Country or for hawks at the Cape May Birding Observatory with a picture to show. Pictures of photos hanging on the wall look like you took it yourself. Postcard prints do likewise. I amaze myself each time I use this camera - The SONY MVCCD1000.
