Review: this is an outrage. it takes a lot of overtime to buy something like this. this sounded like a good camera, but ended up not worth the money. if money grows on trees in your county, buy this now. if not, look elsewhere for a camera

Summary: Yikes, almost a 35mm camera w/ digital features
Review: This Sony mvc-fd95 has produced some very good pictures. It allows you to use it as a 35 mm camera. I am not sure that i would have purchased the wide angle lens for it, while it does give you a near 28mm wide angle affect, it is a little fuzzy. The camera it self is very forgiving, have shot pics of bats flying at dusk, deer nursing in the woods, machine screens at work, indian pipes growing in the woods. A really nice camera, Amazon's service was excellent as usually.

Summary: Simplicity & Convenience!!
Review: We bought the camera in early December, a last minute splurge before our trip to Asia over the holidays. My only instructions came from a brief review of the manual but it was enough to take advantage of many of the features of the MVC-FD95 camera. The operation became second nature to me in no time. My wife, a true techni-phobe was able to operate it with great results with only a few seconds of instruction and felt very comfortable using it (unlike the VCR). One of the silliest (yet impressive) pictures I took on the trip was from the crosswalk between the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur of our hotel in the distance. Using the full zoom, it brought the hotel into the viewfinder and with the steadyshot activated, made the picture seem like it was taken from a block away. To appreciate the picture you would have to see the shot from that distance without the use of any zoom. I took some beautiful macro shots of orhids and other exotic flowers with unbelievable colour and clarity. The camera was a luxury for us, however I am as thrilled with it now as when I first used it and just wish I had more time to fully discover the features. I read several reviews of this and other brands and although I was a bit concerned about the size, I have had no regrets. The floppy disk system is fantastic. Take the 3.5, put it in the floppy drive of your computer and you have the images ready for posting or editing. On our trip, I used it under some extreme conditions, high humidity and temperatures without any problems. I feel very comfortable recommending this camera.

Summary: Good telephoto, not enough wide-angle
Review: While I was in Jamaica I borrowed a MVC-FD95 Digital Camera. I took about 320 pics mostly at 1040x768 resolution. My thoughts: 1. Easy to use 2. It is quite light for its size. 3. It has very good telephoto facilities but the wide angle (39mm equivalent) is not really wide enough for landscapes. 4. I found that it was quite slow at taking pictures and if the shot was of a bird it had flown away by the time the camera had taken the picture. 5. I got 90 minute battery life and the recharge time was quite good. 6. Changing floppies was a pain in the rear (10 pics/floppy at 1040x768), it also has 1600x1200 resolution but you only get 4 pics to a floppy. 7. I loved the AE (shutter) mode (my real camera is a Canon AE-1). 8. It has a useful built in flash. 9. The mpeg video mode is useful (it captures the sound as well) 10. Quality of the pictures at 1040x768 was good to very good (enough for the web) Would I buy it? I would consider buying a newer model, the MVCCD1000 Digital Camera, with a three inch CD-R drive for the 3.5 inch floppy drive - vastly increasing the camera's image capacity. I would like a wider angle model, but I will still borrow the Mavica FD95 when I go back to Jamaica. The camera would be well suited to studio work.

Summary: Digitally YOURS!
Review: With 10x Zoom and rechargable Lithium-Ion battery, how could you possibly go wrong!! If you are using the camera in bad light, or have to focus quickly, this camera does in both quickly and magnificently! Great for home movies of your wife and her lover getting it on behind the Chinese Buffet Dumpster! With the 10X zoom you can really get close to the grease smears and nail marks on that dirty, dirty, dirty Jezebel. anyways, enough of my personal life. This is a good camera. Easy to use, Easy to figure out. Sony, bravo. keep up the good work. Much love to the Pacific Rim. Keep it (Digitally) Real. Word.
