Summary: Not worth the money
Review: After using the Mavica MVC-FD90 for several months, sending it back to Sony and carrying on a lengthy dialog with them, I can truthfully say, it's not worth the money. Of course the bells and whistles are OK, the MPEG's are fine and it takes great pictures at maximum resolution. There is no reason for it to even have the 640 X 480 or email resolutions, the pictures are horrible. In those resolutions, the subject has a "halo" around it or them, the faces looked wrinkled and the picture is of overall poor quality. After sending it back to Sony, they returned it saying that was just the way it worked. Further, I use the memory stick and it takes forever to load a picture and transferring 70 or 80 pictures from the disk to the computer hard drive takes 4 to 5 minutes. Folks, this camera is just plain clunky and there are many digital cameras out there at half the price that will do as good or better of a job. Caveat Emptor!!!!

Summary: Wonder and easy to use for beginners!
Review: fd-90 is my first digital camera and it's the most wonderfull and easy to use camera. I was using the camera within minutes of unpacking it. the battery comes pre-charged. click & delete pics if you don't like.Good things include 1. a floppy drive 2. memory stick capability and wonderfull resolution. 3. email mode saves additional smaller 10k images. minor irritants include 1. No viewfinder 2. Delay between the click and save of the picture. 3. Cannot take more than 4 high resolution pics per floppy. 4. Even with memory stick, it cannot record longer mpeg movies. The memory stick is an absolute must to enjoy this camera!

Summary: NICE CAMERA
Review: I am a beginner and have had the camera for about 1 week. Can acquire awsome photographs. I plan on using the camera for acquiring copies of text documents and photographs. It is next to impossible to carry a 'scanner' with you on your genealogy trips. So far the only problem I have with acquiring these copies is the reflection from the itmes being copied. Have to get at an angle that results in some ampount of distortion but by taking a little time good copies can be obtained. I do like the camera very much.

Summary: Awesome digital camera
Review: I am a first time user of a digital camera and I am awed by the outstanding quality of the pictures and the simple use of the camera. I reviewed quite a few different companies and cameras before settling on the Sony FD-90. Originally one of my criteria was size. Yes the Sony FD-90 is a little bulky because of the standard floppy drive but all in all it is just a little bigger then an ordinary 35mm camera and is probably lighter in weight. I use my FD-90 for work (and for play) and one of the features I enjoy is being able to make copies of the disks on the spot and to hand them out to other people at meetings. The floppy disk makes this camera absolutely simple to use. Shoot a picture and put the disk in your computer and the picture is there as quick as your computer can access the floppy drive. No cables to hook up! I have not used the new Memory Stick with this camera although it is an available option. For the price of floppies I don't foresee needing anything else. I had considered the Sony FD-88 but I saw a lot of reviews complaining about red eye in the pictures. I was pleased to find on this FD-90 there is a red eye reduction feature built into the flash and it actually works. Another feature I like is the MPEG capability. For me this feature is basically a toy and is really only useful for placing small MPEG movies on a web site or for emailing. From what I've seen in reviews of other cameras is that there is a problem with battery consumption. With the FD-90 you get a lithium ion battery and a charger so there will be no problem with that. I've been getting a full hour of shots with a full charge. Consider all the functions like flash and zoom and these use battery life so an hour is pretty good. I bought a spare battery as well but so far have not had to use it. Overall I would recommend this digital camera for everybody. From the box it is very simple to use. You'll be up and running as soon as you get the battery charged (you can read the manual while it's charging) and you'll be having fun with this camera in no time at all.

Summary: Difficult to use without a rangefinder
Review: I bought my FD90 about a month ago and have been frustrated ever since by its lack of a range finder. You see, at age 70, I must wear reading glasses to see anything up close. So the combination of having to look at that little screen and trying to zoom and focus, then wait for the green dot to stabilize, then peering over my glasses at my subject one last time... well, it just doesn't work for me. Also, you have to hold this camera very steady because its shutter speed is slow. As result, my photographs are often blurred. I also bought the Sony Memory Stick/Floppy Disk adapter with a 16MB mem stick. Very difficult to get those tiny button batteries into the adapter. But once in, the assembled critter doesn't work very well because you have to disable your comnputer's virus scan, in my case Norton, which won't let you disable it. All in all, a disappointing experience. I've since bought an Olympus D460, which acts like a real no-fuss point 'n shoot camera. I'm giving the Sony package to a local Boys & Girls CLub and taking the tax deduction for the whole $800 smackers. So long, Sony.

Summary: Amazing camera!
Review: I bought the Mavica fd90 about 2 months ago, and I must say that I'm quite pleased with my purchase. I recently moved to a foreign country, and this has been the ideal way for me to document my stay here - as well as have the opportunity to share all of my photos with family and friends via e-mail. A cd-rw drive allows me to save on disk space, if that is worrysome for anyone.... I read one review that stated that the camera only took 15 second movies - NOT TRUE. If you merely hold the button down longer, you can fit a 60 second movie on a 1.44 mg disk. I don't know what the capabilities are if you have the memory card, but it would be worth investigating! If you've been searching for a great camera that takes beautiful quality photos, look no further!
