Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 Digital Camera

Pros: easy to use and understand
Cons: haven't found any yet.

The Sony MVC-FD73 is the first digital camera I have purchased. After researching as many digital cameras as possible, I went to the local Electronic store to see them first hand. After trying each of the the digital cameras. The leading competitor...

Pros: Floppy drive, durability, many photo options
Cons: Slight delay in "snapping" photos, some photos grainy or dark

This camera performs like a champ. It is durable and resilient. It is larger than most, however, for business purposes and for photo sharing, it works wonders. The built in floppy allows for ease of use with regards to the above. I have used this on sandy beachs, in dusty fields, and the like, and have found the floppy drive to maintain its integrity. The photo quality is marginal indoors, a little better outdoors. If you don't require high resolution photos, but simply want to capture memories, a good choice.

Pros: easy to use, dependable.
Cons: I cant really think of anything bad about this product. I loved it.

I have owned this camera for 4 years last month (2/2004) I have not had one single problem. It has never needed any repairs. I am so impressed with this camera that I would probably only ever buy a Sony digital camera. I love the fact that I can take really fast action shots. Now I cant Take them fast one right after another. But I can take good ones while they are in action poses. A floppy disk can hold anywhere from 25 to 44 pictures , depending on what settings you have on it. This camera is also very user friendly, very self explanatory.And I think with as much use that I have gotten out of this camera, is was worth the money I paid for it.

A good camera for all around use where high resolution is not needed. Takes great outdoor shots and good indoor photo's. Easy to use and especially handy in creating photo's for online use. Overall and excellent camera. Uses economical 3.5 floppy's for pic storage with a 2.5 hr battery life. I use the camera to create photo's for the internet. The photo's load quickly from the 3.5 floppy and can be easily processed for printing or online use. Recommended for the novice photographer, due to its ease of use. Even a novice can turn out quality pictures. The only drawback that i have found concerns the viewing screen. In strong sunlight the screen can hardly be seen, in order to take a picture.

This camera is easy to use and the built for the novice. The lack of internal disk space and a USB drive is a serious drawback. It is annoying to have to carry an extra disk around to be able to take more than 28 pictures. This camera is also not capable of shooting video, which is becoming a standard feature on digital cameras. The biggest advantage of this camera, the built in disk drive, can also be found on the docking ports of much cheaper cameras.
