Summary: Best camera on market
Review: I work on the department web page for the intranet, and we do quite a bit with scanners and cameras. We had been dealing with purchasing to get a good digital camera, and this one is the best. Best photo quality, best features, best screen, and it shoots onto a floppy disc. After just a week with it at work I bought my own.

Summary: Good Camera
Review: Easy to use, battery stays charged for a long time, nice LCD display, great zoom, and the convience of using your computer floppy drive. It is a little expensive for 640*480 resolution, and the picture quality could be a little better.

Summary: Excellent Camera - Still Could Be Better
Review: I have used this camera extensively for over a year. I use theMavica almost exclusively for pictures at my web site. Many are shrunkfor quick download times, but you can still see the output quality.After using the MVC-FD73 for this long there are many pros and cons that I have come up with. Pros: 1 - easy to use 2 - nice LCD viewer for scrolling through previous shots 3 - floppies are a very convenient reusable medium Cons: 1 - LCD viewer gets scratched easily 2 - Viewer LCD hard to see in very strong outdoor light (a better camera would have an interchangeable regular viewfinder AND an LCD viewer) 3 - Flash always seems too strong - a lot of red eye incidents indoors 4 - Has a hard time focusing in low light 5 - Floppies, while convenient, are FAR too small for high res pics. Why Sony hasn't made a Zip Drive or Super Disk drive version is beyond me. In the future I will buy another camera that clears up the problems listed above. It probably won't be a Sony since Sony's pushing proprietary media in their future digital cameras. If you want this camera for the long haul I'd suggest doing a little more homework and being fully aware of the 5 problems I mentioned above before buying this one.

Summary: Super camera
Review: Bought this camera December 31,99 My son got one for Christmas, and I used my christmas money to buy myself one. Looked at the 83, but couldn't resist the 10x zoom for 200.00 less.Very happy with all of the many features. Highly recommed.

Summary: Good Camera, but you can get a better buy
Review: This Sony MVC-FD73 is a really great camera. It has outstanding zoom abilities that will put you at center stage from as far as 150 ft from the stage, and while holding the camera above the crowds heads. The only draw back is, as with most digitals, recording time is slow. Be prepared to miss several shots due to slow recording time, but the upside is, you do not have to down load your pics, just change the disk and keep going. As far as the price, you can find a better deal at national retail stores and get availible warranties without the cost or bother of unpredictable shipping.

Summary: Camera is versatile and very user friendly!
Review: I love being able to change disks from use for business to pleasure. As truckers hauling specialized freight,we are required to take pictures at point of origin and delivery of the load. This saves having many rolls of film and space to store them. Then to take pictures of scenery, etc. we just change disks. The picture quality is great...just perfect for us!

Summary: Get a megapixel instead
Review: This model is definitely the most easy to use camera available, but it's the digital equivilant of a Polaroid... quick and easy shots, low quality pictures.

Summary: Greatest thing since sliced bread...............
Review: I purchased my camera (display model) when a large chain was relocating to a new store for a very good price. I had been looking for quite some time and a friend had the FD-71 and was very happy with it. So easy to use a 4th grader could immediately use. I was not looking for the features that the FD83 had as I already had a digital video camera. I really like the idea of being able to click in a floppy and start shooting and not having to hook up anything once I get home to start printing out my shots. The only disappointment to me is the low resolution. If you want to print anything larger than a 4 x 6, you loose the clarity. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate the SOny Mavica FD-73 a 9

Summary: Qality of pictures was a disappointment
Review: I have had this camera 11 months. It is very easy to handle, zoom is excellent, using ordinary discs is great, battery system fine. But very often I have been disappointed with the quality of pictures. There is simply not enough pixels. Pictures from houses for instance are good enough, from people so and so, mostly not. Near shots from flowers look little bit waxy and stiff but I have taken lots's of them. Most disappointments I have had with nature pictures, grass looks odd, too much details for such a few pixels. If I would have known this I would have choosen more pixels. Still this has been a great joy and I am hungry for a new megapixel digital camera. Before you shop try to see pictures. For e-mail and web they are OK.
