Summary: Drive Error c:32-01
Review: I enjoyed the fact that this camera allowed me to zoom in up to 10X and record the data on floppy discs instead of expensive digital cards. This allowed for various themes seperated by cards. All this came to an end after I had the camera just over a year with drive error C:32-01. After research on the problem including hundreds of listed similar problems, I found that Sony charged under 20 dollars for the part and about 150 dollars for the labor. I understand that this common problem has been eliminated in more recent mavicas, but Sony lost my support in their lack of customer care.

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.

Summary: OH NO!!
Review: We bought this as a back up for our primary digital camera (Sony FD95 - a GREAT camera). Came to discover that this one will not accept a Sony floppy disc adapter and memory stick! Takes only a floppy disk, which has very limited storage when you shoot high resolution (which we do.)
Very disappointed, which we had been more careful about checking this out, just because its a Sony doesn't mean it accepts a memory stick. Buyer BEWARE!

Summary: Great camera
Review: I purchased this camera over a year ago. I choose this camera because of the floppy disk. It is far cheaper than buy the extra menory chip for other cameras. The easy of taken pictures on a floppy makes it the best camera for long back woods hiking trips or just being away from a computer. Just install a new floppy and your ready to go. Also i really like the disk copy feature where you can download the pictures into the camera and make a second disk for a freind. Other features areeasy to lean. The camera has one of the best Zooms 10X really get up close to the action.

Summary: Mavica MVC-FD75: A Super Beginner's Digital Still Camera !!
Review: About three years after Sony introduced the Mavica MVC-FD75, the price finally came down enough for me to buy one on sale ...in 2002. I have been extremely happy with this little camera in all that it can do!I was a professional photographer with my own studio for many years and I find little fault with the Mavica camera. I highly recommend it whether you are just beginning or are a seasoned expert. The main and most important feature for me is that I can both shoot and store all my photos on floppy disks, thus insuring that I can ALWAYS easily print from any computer and any source without fussing over memory cards and compatibility or plugging the camera into a computer. The Mavica gives you great flexibility in this regard and my photos are always backed up both on floppies and other media if I choose. "Picture Effects" offer choices of black & white, sepia, solarised,or negative modes and give the amateur easy imaging options with just clicking on the "Effects" button. Viewing your photos is very easy, just scroll through individual photos or view with the index, which shows 6 thumbnails at a time. Depending on the mode chosen, "Standard" or "Fine" you'll get anywhere from 10 to 30+ exposures per 1.4mg floppy disk. "Standard" works well for most shots and "Fine" gives you clear, sharp images with good color balance. You can add a polarising filter (recommended for all lenses!) and increase color control through appropriate filtration. Copying a photo or the complete disk is also very easy, just choose from the menu what you want to copy... You can choose from several auto-modes (fast action, low-light, bright light, etc.) protect files from accidental erasure, adjust exposure levels manually, add polarising and other filters and lenses, adjust the screen brightness, time-stamp your photos, and other goodies; and the Mavica FD75 does very well at close-up photography as well. Altogether, a good choice for anyone wanting an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand camera with a floppy disk capability. The quality overall is excellent and I have been tremendously pleased with it and so will you!

Summary: This is a stupid buy
Review: [that much] for a 0.3 Megapixel camera? For that price you should get a much higher MP camera with a digital zoom. You'll get the same quality when you zoomed all the way in as you would with this camera's optical zoom. Actually, you might get better shots, since you should have
less camera shake. And you'd have a high MP camera instead of a cheesy 0.3 MP for close-up shots -- which is what you'll be shooting most of the time.

Summary: Picture on Disc
Review: For people who does not like to be bothered by continually changing films and having the pictures developed thru a processing center, this camera - Sony MVC - FD75 is the camera for you. All you have to do is shoot, shoot, shoot, and insert the memory stix to your PC and presto, you get you photos and print them.

Summary: No reason to buy it.
Review: You could rate it 5 stars years ago w/ 10x optical zoom, floppy disk, at 0.3MP (used for web only, not printed pictures) You might be satisfied w/ its picture quality at this price of [$$$]. Now obviously it's not the choice. The camera used for web only should not cost that much money even though it has 10x optical zoom (the expensive factor) I would rate it 5 stars now if its price was lower than $100. Ask yourself these questions: - Why do you buy it when you can buy another camera w/ higher resolutions at the same or lower price (e.g Finepix 2600, 2650,2800...) so you can print really good 4x6 pictures & sometimes 8x10? Of course you can use your picture for web pages... - Who need the outdated floppy disk now? I guess the floppy drive won't be available computers in the future. It just makes the camera so bulky. Of course its low capacity can be used only for low resolution pictures. If you can spend that much money for a camera, I guess $40-50 for memory is not that expensive. Last month my brother bought this camera & I bought Finepix 2800 at the same price. He is so disappointed w/ his when seeing what I can do w/ mine. He is now using his old 1.3MP camera rather than use this MVC-FD75. If you just look at 5-star ratings & buy this, you will by disappointed when you know you could buy a cheaper but better camera. I give it 1 star because of the expensive price just for web usage.

Summary: Don't even think about it
Review: One of the pros is 10x optical zom but no matter how many pros (not so many,) no way to get a good picture from a 0.3MP camera. For email only, not printable. Too expensive too. You can get a much...much better Fujifilm camera w/ a lower price. You need at least 2MP to have a good (4x6) picture.

Summary: 6 Years of World Travel with Mavica
Review: I have been wandering the world for
6 years. Andy the HoboTraveler.com
I am on my second Mavica with 3.5 disk.
The reason is the 10 Optical Zoom and
the 3.5 disk. This is the perfect camera
for making webpages while traveling.
I can buy the disk in any underdeveloped
country and use in an internet cafe.
The 3.5 disk drive is a little fragile and
you should wait and not take photos too fast
or you will damage the floppy.
I have taken about 5000 photos with this camera.
I use this camera to post the page or links to
my travel newslette. ...
