Description:

The Sony Mavica MVC-FD90 digital camera combines a powerful 8x optical zoom lens with a respectable 1.3-megapixel CCD. The camera also features an MPEG movie mode, audio annotation for your images, and a manual focus ring. The built-in flash features red-eye reduction and night-synch modes. Built-in zoom, trim, and resize functions encourage manipulation of the images while they are still in the camera. For maximum image resolution, the camera also includes an interpolated 1.6-megapixel image setting. Users compose images by viewing the 2.5-inch color LCD monitor on the back of the camera. This monitor also reveals the remaining shooting time in minutes, a well as having indicators for flash, focus, and other functions.

Like most of the other cameras in the Mavica line, the MVC-FD90 uses floppy disks to store photos. At maximum image quality, five images fit on one floppy. At the other end of the spectrum is the e-mail setting, which captures 80 images at 320 x 240 resolution on a single disk. To address concerns about the limited number of photos one can store on a low-capacity floppy disk, Sony has devised a high-capacity solution: the camera will accept the MSAC-FD2M floppy adapter, a device that looks like a floppy disk. Sony's Memory Stick (available in capacities up to 64 MB) slides into the adapter, and the adapter slides into the camera's floppy drive, essentially giving you a 64 MB floppy disk.

The package includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a battery charger, a shoulder belt, AV cable, and ArcSoft PhotoStudio software for Windows.
