Summary: WARNING!
Review: This camera is a dud. I bought one to take on vacation. The photos look okay on the camera, but when you get home and look at them on your PC they are almost all out of focus. The auto fucus worked properly less than 10% of the time. There is NO manual focus on this camera. My vacation shots are ruined.

Review: I did not have a need for the audio or video features...did want the ease of the floppy disks and ease of bringing up on pc...I read a lot of the other reviews and decided to buy the Sony 73..have only had it a week , am so pleased with the quality of pictures so sharp and clear...the 10x zoom is great...for flowers and close ups .

Summary: Use of 3.5" floppies is the best!
Review: My first digital camera looks like something out of a Cracker Jack box compared to this one! The lower of the Mavica line, it does not do video and may have a lower number of pixels, but I feel it is a really great camera for the price!Being able to store photos directly on disk is the greatest invention, and the menu/indexing screens allow you to view photos right away to decide if you want to continue or delete an image without having to wiat until they're on the computer screen. The battery has a long life, and recharging is quick and easy. Bought the package with the carrying case, which has room for camera, charger, and plenty of disks. Very happy with this camera overall!

Summary: Limited
Review: Simple, and easy to use for what it does, this is starting to look a bit overpriced nowadays. On the good side, you can use common floppy discs to save your pictures, the batteries last for ages and it's extremely easy to use, but on the other hand the resolution (640x480 in hi-res) isn't good enough for anything more than simple holiday snaps. If you're prepared to do lots of re-touching you can use it as a useful image aquisition tool, and the lack of resolution can be a creative spur intself, but for anything more than simple web-site images and casual snaps you'd be better off with a proper megapixel camera with some kind of smart-card memory storage.

Summary: Killer first Digital Camera!
Review: I just recently purchased this camera, and I have to say that it has made taking pictures fun. The greatest part is that I don't have to wait forever to get my pictures back, being that the pictures are saved to a floppy disk. I simply snap the shot, look at the finished product to see if I want to keep it, and print it out within a matter of a minute of two. For those of you with new baby's(like my 9 month old), this is awesome. The zoom function is so good that I am taking the camera to a Laker game tonight to use as binoculars. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking to get into digital imagery.

Summary: Great for a beginner
Review: Not being a computer or camera "pro" I needed something easy to use. I looked at the reviews for the product here at Amazon. I decided to buy the F83 model. This model allows for a 15 second "movie". Boy do I like it. I like the ease of the Floppy disk. The quality is fine for my needs. The battery lasts a long time. A camera bag is a necessity since the LCD screen marks easily. I recommend the camera to anyone wanting a digital camera that is easy to use. Thanks Amazon for providing the reviews, and thanks to those other individuals who made the reviews. I found them very helpful.

Summary: Love this camera!
Review: This is my first digital camera, and I love it! Very easy to use. I took awsome pictures of my grandbaby, using the fine resolution,and the portrait mode.With the 10x zoom lens I could get such close-ups! So easy to use the 3.5" floppy. I had heard that these pictures did not print well! Not so! I printed dozens of them on glossy photo paper, and have had real photographers raving about them. I am more pleased than I thought I would be with this camera. I use it to make pictures to put on all my greeting cards that I make. The battery lasts plenty long for a day of shooting, and recharges rapidly. The large viewscreen lets you see your picture as soon as you take it. I highly recommend this camera.

Summary: I Love this Camera
Review: This is a fabulous camera. The fact that it uses standard floppy disks, instead of memory cards or downloading. This makes it increadibly flexable. I am very bad about developing film, and this format makes it easy. Also, if I take a bad picture I can preview and zap it right there. I took some pictures of my 4 month old son, that I would not have gotten with a conventional camera. By the way, it can be really heavy if you wear it around your neck for a long period of time. The battery life is pretty good as long as I keep it off until I am ready to take a series of pictures. Also, to my surprise, it takes great high speed. I took a picture of a race car at full speed, that was beautiful. I have, however, dropped it once. It killed a couple of my pictures, but I expected that with a floppy device. The camera itself is fine. One added bonus is the battery is exactly the same as my Sony Handycam Camcorder. Not only do I have a extra battery now for both, but the included battery charger charges both quickly and easily. This also helps justify me purchasing additional batteries down the road. I don't know what additional features the step up Sony has, but this has so many features it will satisfy any intermediate photographer.

Summary: Terrific
Review: This is a great camera! So much you can do with your photos using your computer. The floppy disc is the way to go - so fast & simple. My only criticism is the packaging by Sony. The adapter for the battery plug had rolled over to a corner of the box and I couldn't find it until I started to put everything back in the box...even tho there were 10 instruction books in every language, the English language directions were vague and you had to use your own computer savvy to know how to "format" your floppys, plus there wasn't a warranty card enclosed, but I contacted Sony via email and received one in the mail. But, other than those inconveniences, the camera itself is wonderful. Good quality pictures and excellent color & fun, fun, fun!

Summary: This camera is fun!
Review: We bought this camera just before a vacation overseas, andbought an extra battery. Armed with 50 floppies, we were able to takeunlimited pictures, averaging 15 shots per disk. Cheap"film," total flexibility, no cables. We deleted a few shots we didn't like and retook them. The fact that it uses floppies is a major attraction. Floppies can be used in both Macs and PC's, which facilitates sharing photos. The 10x zoom compensates for the lower resolution. Have also used the Mavica for taking pictures of old photos, including those in frames, with very acceptable results.
