Sony Mavica MVC-FD95 Digital Camera

Pros: Excellent picture quality!
Cons: Can not get to many pictures on one floppy.

Sony has done it again, they produced a quality product that is better for the price than the leading competitors. This camera lists for $1099 and can be found for under $1000 if you shop around. This camera is loaded with so much it would cost several...

Pros: Great Photos/Floppy Storage
Cons: None

I visited my Mom recently and while I was there she showed me her latest toy, the Sony MVC-FD95 digital camera. Mom has been a professional photographer for 30+ years and really knows her stuff when it comes to camera equipment.

The Sony MVC...

Pros: 10-20x zoom is AWESOME
Cons: very, very, expensive

The excellent, zoom lens, floppy disk storage, and superb features of the Sony Mavica MVC-FD95 make it the perfect toy for camera buffs, but the price will send you into sticker shock. If you can use a computer and a SLR (Single Lens Reflex), you will...

Pros: 10X optical image stabilized zoom. Simple to use.
Cons: A bit bulky. High compression of images causes some loss of quality.

Needless to say, my collection of digital cameras has grown yet again. I was at a Circuit City and came across a FD-95 as an "open box" item. Turns out someone bought it, thought it was too big, and brought it back after losing the battery and...

Pros: Lots of features
Cons: A bit expensive

My office just purchased one of these cameras last week and we still haven't gotten finished oohing and ahhing over it. It is so chock full of features that we have yet to use them all, and we play...I mean work...with this thing daily.

Like...

Pros: Floppy storage, incredible zoom, view finder
Cons: Size, recording speed, must use Sony flash

Great. One word. I used to have the Mavica FD-73, until it was "misplaced" at a car show. I operate a very graphic intensive website that require frequent updates of pictures and images. Every since losing my FD-73, I have been looking for a...

Pros: High quality pics, lots of zoom
Cons: Heavy, bulky camera, slow taking pictures

I've been a Sony camera fan for over 5 years and have upgraded numerous times. Though I no longer have my FD95, I still would recommend this type of camera. In this review I'll explain the features and why I upgraded to a newer model after about a...

Pros: good quality, easy to use
Cons: kind of bulky

We bought the Mavica MVC-FD95 as a college graduation gift for my husband. We had used other brands of digital cameras, and frankly, we hated the cable hook-ups and messing around with memory cards. We knew that Sony had the floppy drive, and my...

Pros: Quality of photos; Ability to change aperature and shutter
Cons: battery charger; placement of shoulder strap

Greetings,

I've graduated from the MVC-FD91 camera in August 2000. My first grandson was born in July, and the MVC-FD91 took absolutely fantastic gorgeous photographs. I figured "if this camera takes such great photos, can you imagine...

Pros: All, the zoom, easy to use, and the resolution.
Cons: The batteries run away very fast.

Can you believe the resolution of 1600x1200 let you take with this Sony FD95 camera pictures likely to a reflex camera in a simple floppy diskette, and then see in your own computer your masters of photography. Let´s see the digital technology is a...

Pros: Plenty of good features and a lovely 10x zoom+ 52mm filter threads
Cons: system lag time between pushing button and taking picture

Let me start by saying I work for a College, and it with the vast resources of that College I was able to get my hands on this lovely little camera. I have used it extensively for a few months and have a couple of things to say for and against it....

Pros: 10X Optical Zoom Lens, very good resolution range, plenty of features.
Cons: Control button to close too bottom of screen for easy manipulation.

I as many other people who bought cameras for the internet selling and advertising craze bought the entry level Sony FD-73, which was a fine camera and served the purpose early on soon started to flounder when the higher resolution cameras started coming...

Pros: Nice feel - lots of features - 10X zoom - Floppy Disk
Cons: Freeze image disables action photography

The FD95 is a good looking, very feature packed camera - but...
The Sony brain-trust must have been fried when they added two specific features to the FD95. First they Freeze the viewfinder while it is autofocussing. The autofocus...

Pros: Durable - High Quality Images - Night Shot Function
Cons: Expensive - Large Size

I primarily use this camera for work to track progress on a construction site. I like it because it is sturdy and seems to hold up well in conditions like those I use it in.

The particular aspect of this piece of equipment that I would like...

Pros: Good quality, great zooming abilities, uses floppies, many user options.
Cons: Long shutter delay, slow writing speed to memory stick.

The MVC-FD95 was a great camera for my nature photography needs when I bought it. 10x optical zoom made it beat out all the competition. Also using floppy disks helped me as I didn't have adapters and memory cards. Here is my opinion of the camera after ...
