Summary: Actually quite impressed!
Review: I just bought mine off of that ebay site for allot less but not to worry. I was about to pay the Amazon price. While I hear allot of people talk about the floppy disk, I personally do not have a floppy in my PC Atholon 1.33Ghz 1gig of DDR266 ram which would defeat the purpose of haveing a top of the line computer having a floppy disk I run the Fire Wire and USB for any talking to the computer for uploading and downloading I do have a 64 meg memory stick in it which gives me well over enough space to have video and images. For the average point and click person there is more than enough space to use on a memory stick of 32megs to 64megs (mem-sticks). Floppy's are great if you have a floppy disk drove in your computer(which I do not)

Summary: Outstanding camera
Review: I must say I love this camera. It is so easy to use. What surprised me is the incredible image quality of close-up pictures in the macro-mode. I knew i wanted a camera that accepted floppy disks and Sony is the only company that offers this. To me, the convienence of floppy disks outweighs the need to carry multiple disks. I cant think of a downside to this camera except: 1. Forget about taking action shots, too slow in taking picture. 2. Flash is underpowered, lighting is critical to good shots.Those are my only complaints. This camera offers so many user friendly features, i cant list them all here. Pricey, but worth it.

Summary: Fast 95
Review: I purchased this camera 14 months ago - stepping up from my Kodak DC220. I wanted the extended zoom capacity - and unknowingly sacrificed quality and user ease. Exterior shots where lighting was ample, for the most part, are excellent - but as I do an extensive amount of interior shots for "reporting" purposes, this camera would not have a rated a "one". With my Kodak, the included written materials were outstanding as well as their on line information. With Sony - I presume they take it for granted that the buyer knows "everything". I feel bad that I encouraged someone else to purchase this camera, as they are now equally as unhappy (unaware that I was also displeased). I just purchased a the Nikon Coolpix775 - and have been so repeatedly and consistently impressed that I will upgrade next year. Both Kodak and Nikon cater to the consumer's needs by providing a quality product that can be enjoyed by both professional and amateur.

Summary: My trip to China
Review: I took more than a thousand pictures with it in a month, until I gave it to my uncle. I only remember rechearching a battery every two days. That's how great it is. I used it outside when it was hot(it was always hot though) and it never malfunctioned. The heat may have damaged a disk or two, from my bulk of 75 pack. Let's keep things simple:
-The zoom is incredible! Sometimes you see once in a lifetime shots, but they're usually far, far away. With this camera, you'll have that chance! They say that the digital zoom reduces the quality of your pics, but I don't really care and it doesn't affect significantly enough to make it lower than excellent.
-My last review said "more than 40 pics per battery". After filling my 75 disks, it seemed to be 100 if you don't use the LCD screen too often. Why it was 40 for me? I used up a lot of juice when I was showing the pics to people. That's all.
-The weight may be an advantage if you see it differently. I might use a heavier camera for a job so a 2 pound camera is nothing. If I used a lighter camera, it was much easier shaking it and ruining the pic. I took 800 pics in a week. Did I complain? Nope.
-The slow speed can also be a good factor. If you had a slow camera, you would be careful to take any pictures. If you had a really fast one, you would take a whole lot more without being concerned about quality and also you need more memory. It made me a better photograph, simple as that.
-The size is also a good factor. The grip is perfect. You can hold up your arm as a tripod and relax. With a small camera, you'll feel some tension after a while.
-It's not a camera that can be stolen easily. If a robber grabbed it and ran away, it would slow him down and it would tire him out. A small camera, on the other hand, will be snatched and kept in a pocket. Need to say more?
-I had no problem taking pics in a bus, but in a train, things may pop up by bluring anything behind. Be sure that the window is clean since usually it's dirty(the dust or filth is usually black or disgusting). Well if you asked me why you should buy it, I have to compare it with other models. First the zoom eliminates most of cameras so we have a few left. You must have a stable zoom, one out. Then you must tell me how many pics you have to take in 10 seconds. This one can take around 2.5 so it's nice for trips or anything else. I don't recommend this one if you must take a lot of good pics in a short time, but then you wouldn't need the zoom so it's up to you. I recommend compact flash or smart media so the price total will rise up quickly. The pics are bigger(around 2 to 10 times as much memory of sony mvc-95) so you must buy a lot of 128 mb cards. And finally you may have only one choice or two. Obviously, you'll find digital camera web sites and get full reviews. Forget film, digital is the way to go.

Summary: FD-95 Thoughts
Review: I was very disappointed when I finally decided to purchase a digital camera and was unable to get the Sony FD-91 that my brother and friend both owned. I had used their cameras and loved what it could do but couldn't find it anywhere. The only thing close was the FD-95. Although a bit pricier, I have not been disappointed in the camera. I have gotten excellent results from it and was surprised at how light it is despite its deceptive looks. It's very easy to handle and operate. I highly recommend this camera, even for a veritable novice like myself. The only downside I have found is something that was pointed out in another review -- it is slow when taking a picture. You really have to hold that button down to get it to take and it makes taking my hockey action shots a bit of a challenge. If that is the only thing that I can see as a problem, though, do yourself a favor and pick up one of these cameras. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Photos are fun again
Review: If you are considering a jump from your trusty old SLR to digital, this camera is the reason to do it. The ability to review a shot right after taking it, reshoot it if you like, and then email the image home is fantastic. Any digital camera can do that, but this one gives you ease of use, sound annotation, remarkable quality of images, great zoom capability, and worthwhile advanced features as well. This camera is ready to travel. The batteries recharge quickly in the camera off 110V US or 220V European style outlets with the cables provided. Also, any computer shop can move your images from floppies to a CD for cheap. You might also be able to upload your images to a web site. You don't need to carry 400 disks on a long trip as you can reuse them. Limitations: - This is not a small, unobtrusive camera. The FD-95 is comparable in size to a big SLR. You'll need to carry floppies also, so plan on a bag. - I have had a 2% failure rate writing images to floppies. (Might be the disks. Buy good disks!) - Action shots are harder as the image capture is slower than with an SLR. You'll need to anticipate your shot. - The placement of the LCD view screen is perfect for catching nose prints. - No JPEG viewer/editor is provided, though you can download a great one from CompuPic for ($). - No case is provided. (See bag, above.) - No warranty comes in the box. 5 year third-party warranties are about ($). - Only one battery pack is provided. The NP-F550 pack outlasts the NP-F330 supplied with the camera and runs about($). - The manual covers only function. Amazon's camera page will teach you the rest about digital cameras. - Consider buying a CD burner if you take lots of photos. ($). Even with the issues noted above, this is a great camera. Enjoy your new toy! You won't look back.

Summary: Super Camera
Review: Just pick this camera up at my local Base Exchange, while I paid a lot less than what it is offered for here ..., I must still say that it is well worth the price that Amazon offers it for aswell. The camera is actually very light for its seemingly encumbering size, and while it is bigger than most cameras (due to the floppy drive), it fits quite well into my hands. People with smaller hands may want a different camera like the Sony Cybershot. I have taken a few pictures in different areas, outside, inside, light and dark and they all turned out great. The 2.1 Megapixels are more than adequate for the amature photographer. I haven't even begun to explore all the options, the self timer works great giving you 10 seconds to get into place with your friends or family before the picture is taken, and don't worry about focusing because the auto focus does a great job as well. The main reason I picked this up over my other too choices was because the Cybershot F550 seemed to leave some blur in the pictures when I took my test shot with it, and the Olympus 2040 and 3040 just didn't have the zoom capability that I needed. My one complaint is that the battery just doesn't seem to last long enough but I'll pick up the longer lasting battery and use the original as a spare. Don't want to carry floppys around? I have taken all my test photos on Floppies so far and at 1024 x 7xx I seem to be able to fit 10 pictures per disk. I also picked up the memory stick adapter ... and a 64MB memory stick ... for when I am in a situation where disks seem to be too much of a hassle, like when I'm out on the town in Romania or Hungary or something. All in all this camera is a great buy, I highly recommend it to anyone.
