Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 Digital Camera

Pros: easy to operate
Cons: less pixels than other models, so less picture quality when printed out

I purchased this model because I wanted something very easy to use and at the same time gave a quality picture. All my research on which one to buy led me to go for the 10 x optical lens over a higher digital lens for picture quality.

The...

Pros: Floppy disk storage
Cons: Does not come with a camera case.

I bought the Sony MVC-FD73 for job related activities. I am an electrician for an electrical contractor. Part of my job is to bid on new work and to coordinate work progress. This camera fills the need nicely. The feature that is most useful to me is...

Pros: Price and accessories
Cons: Features do not include a movie mode.

I owned a Sony MCV-FD91 and found that the 91 is more camera than I needed. I compared the prices and the features and decided to sell the MCV-91 to my boss and to purchase the FD-73 for myself. This is a great little camera. It lets you take a clear,...

Pros: instant pictures, fast, reliable
Cons: the darkness of the preview screen

I absolutely love my Sony!! I use it all the time!! I help out my parents with it for taking inventory of the antiques we have. I also use it for my websites and for sending pictures to my friends that live out of state. It's light, so it can go...

Pros: fairly economical for the features, easy to use, good results
Cons: pic resolution not up to par as compared to 35mm. image

I had been looking for a fun and easy digital camera for sometime when I asked for this one for Christmas. I am quite happy with it. It is very easy to use, basically a *point and shoot*. Pics are clear enough for publishing on the Web. They do lack the...

Pros: ease of using a floppy disk, price, quality of finished product
Cons: none thus far

Recently, I purchased a Sony Mavica FD73. It was my choice because of the ease of using a floppy disk.

I purchased it to use primarily to take pictures of items which I planned to sell on EBay. However, I have found it to be absolutely...

Pros: Ease of use & price was right!
Cons: No cons that I've encountered!

We bought this camera to do online auctions but find it extremely easy for other things as well. My wife & I love to fish & hunt. Now we can capture our finest moments as they happen! This camera was recommended by a friend...Thank goodness...

Pros: Easy to download images on any computer.
Cons: Resolution, price.

Got this as a gift - was recommended by computer-whiz friend. Rather pricey at the time of purchase. Now, there are so many better versions out there for the same price or less with much better options.

Why I like it:
1. The best thing...

Pros: convenience
Cons: moderate picture quality

I bought this camera for convenience. And I got what I bargained for. With the zoom all the way out I get pictures good enough for my web page or for my online photo gallery. With the zoom on you would need a tripod to hold the camera steady enough to...

Pros: 3.5 floppy download convenience
Cons: 640-480 resolution

If your just getting into the digital imaging thing and you'd like an easily accessable camera with little or no difficulties, this would probably be one of this best cameras out there. This camera has a 640x480 resolution, which yes is less than one...

Pros: 3.5 FD Storage, 10X Zoom, 2 hour Battery life
Cons: Size, Must use LCD for display

Looking at purchasing a digital camera I decided that I needed more information. Several of the camera's pm the market use memory packs that must be purchased in addition to the camera. One other disadvantage is the short life of the battery offered...

Pros: 10X Zoom, Floppy Drive, Reasonable price
Cons: Larger form factor, no through the lens view finder

Digital photography has arrived. You probably don't need to hear this or you would not be researching the purchase of a digital camera. The higher initial cost of the camera itself is more than outweighed by the savings in film and development costs.

Pros: Great Pictures, Great time saver
Cons: expensive

I purchased this product for two reasons, The first of which was being able to sell stuff on eBay and the second was being able to send pictures to my family out of state. I was really frustrated every time I tried to list an auction on eBay, I would...

Pros: fast, easy, and fun
Cons: I haven't tried printing the photos yet, so I'm not sure of the quality there.

I just received the Sony MVC-FD73 as a Christmas gift from my husband. Well, we had only been "toying" with the idea of a digital camera and one thing I had noticed about the entire Sony Product line was that they were the only ones offering...

Pros: Ease of use, floppy storage
Cons: picture quality

The main selling points of this camera are the floppy storage and ease of use. It is incredibly easy to use. My wife who never wants to have to bother with manuals and messy hookups loves it and was a master in a matter of minutes. Being able to just pop...
