UNIVERSAL BEST DEAL

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 06 '00
Pros: Ease of operation; in all phases, great pictures
Cons: If you go over 2 hours you'll be dead in the water!
I bought this camera 2 years ago, before getting the Kodak DC 265. Originally, it was meant as my utilitarian camera...the one I would HANG OUT with. Even though I have purchased more expensive cameras, and would probably always shoot through an SLR 35...

One tough, dependable camera

by MichaelT. , Nov 17 '00
Pros: 10x zoom, uses 3.5" disc, easy to use
Cons: viewfinder difficult to see in sunlight.
I have been a very satisfied owner of a Sony MVC-FD71 camera for a little over two years now, and can attest to the fact that it is a very solid little camera. I do construction work building roads and I carry the camera in my company pickup to keep...

MVC-FD71 review

by psiebers , Dec 20 '99
Pros: floppy disk picture storage, easy to use, no cables/downloads
Cons: flimsy bag, low quality wide angle lens
I have tested several types of digital cameras for a departmental purchase. In total we needed 10 cameras which would be easy enough for university faculty to use, and were sturdy enough to take out into the field.

The SONY Mavica's stood out...

A Super Digital Easy

by wa2tti , Mar 29 '00
Pros: 5 Stars + easy to get pictures to computer
Cons: I can't think of one
I have owned this camera for over a year and love it. Easy to carry, lite weight, 5 Star rating. The 640 x 480 resolution is all that most people need. This gives you 20 to 40 picture per 1.4m floppy. So a box of 10 floppies will last most vacations....

Sony... some bologna

by guitartec , Dec 31 '00
Pros: Sturdy
Cons: Purchase price, service, flaky-ness, obsolescence
I've owned a MVC FD-71 Sony Mavica Digital Camera for about a year and a half now. Compared to some newer Sony models, such as the FD-73, the FD-71 is a bit superior in a few ways. One major advantage is that the FD-71 allows you to zoom in and focus...

Not bad, but there are better

by robcfoster , Feb 11 '01
Pros: Easy to use, floppy diskette storage, battery life
Cons: pricey, low-res pics, bulky. wash-out flash
We have owned the Sony FD71 for almost 3 years.

During this time we have "snapped" thousands of pictures with it. The floppy storage system works well for us - a box of floppy diskettes is nearly free these days, and the diskettes can be used...

I simply LOVE it!!!

by swati , Jan 24 '00
Pros: Immediate gratification, Powerful zoom, floppy storage.
Cons: not sure if the problems I see are related to this camera or not.
I bought this camera when my baby was born. And I'm so happy I have it!! I can keep taking tons of pictures of her without thinking about the cost!

The camera is really good. The zoom is very powerful, and the pictures are good for digital...

Much better, still not perfect

by juice , Sep 13 '99
Pros: Simple, easy to use, convenient
Cons: Bulky, not 35mm quality
We bought a Mavica because our other digital cameras were inconvenient to use, required cables and software, and didn't work well with NT (down load only 1 photo at a time).

After our success with the Mavica, we immediately bought 5 more....

Smile!!! This is a great camera!

by ahines , Jan 10 '00
Pros: everything about this camera is incredible!
Cons: haven't found anything yet!
This has got to be the best camera I have ever owned! I had been nagging my husband to get me a digital camera for a very long time! We had bought one a few years back that we ended up taking back because the quality of the picture on the computer was...

First Time Going Digital

by brenda5008 , Jul 01 '00
Pros: Value,style,convenience
Cons: red-eye,which could probably be reduced if I knew better how to take shots
I don't actually own this camera,but my parents do and I've used it numerous times,enough to form my own opinion.
My parents purchased this camera after my son,their first grandchild,was born.They got it at an online auction about a year ago or...

Useful Tool

by wwsully , Dec 29 '99
Pros: easy to use, good quality pictures, uses standard diskettes
Cons: view screen hard to see in bright light
In my job, we are often called upon to document visits to radio installations and telecommunications wiring projects. We were running up large bills for traditional photo processing and thought a digital camera might be the solution.

We looked...

Clear pics for both Family and Ebay!

Pros: Easy to use and clear pictures
Cons: Number of pics camera stores and battery
We bought the Sony MVC-FD71 for a few reasons. The first being the same as most familes....pictures that are esaily sent to distant relatives through email. For this reason the camera is great. It is fairly light and my hubby can hold it and take a pic...

Sony Heaven

by maryjo50 , Jan 15 '00
Pros: Ease of use, no film or photo processing costs
Cons: none!
When Sony came out with this camera a few years ago I wanted one so bad that I could taste it. Oh the ease of taking pictures and having them on a floppy disk! I drooled over the magazine ads, visited the stores to handle one and drooled some more! Each...
