FD-85 - Great Shots

by dandman , Mar 14 '01
Pros: Super-easy to use
Cons: A little slow recording to the floppy (but hey, it's a floppy)
I bought this Sony product FD-85 a while back and I am still very happy with my purchase. I wanted a camera that easily interfaced into any PC, so I figured the 3.5 floppy format would be great . . . I was right!

Immediately after opening the...

My newest 'toy'

by wendy3rd , Apr 24 '00
Pros: Excellent camera
Cons: pricey BUT worth the money, problem with red eye
I have wanted to buy a digital camera from the time they first came out. I am normally a very frugal person, but these things just seem so cool! The reason I waited as long as I did was because I was totally uncertain of what I was looking for.

Sony Mavica Fun Camera

by mcgina , Jul 26 '00
Pros: floppy drive on the camera itself
Cons: pricey
I first saw this camera two years ago at a New Years Eve party. I wanted one then, but I reasoned, if I waited a year or so the price would go down and instead of $800 I'd pay $500 or less. But I just couldn't wait. I went out and got one just a few...

Slowly but surely, fine camera

by sorinb , Apr 05 '01
Pros: Great zoom 16x, storage on floppy disks, good pictures
Cons: Slow recording on floppy, focus control, red-eye reduction, cost
I used MVC-FD88 for approx 1 year, I took more than 1000 pictures meanwhile.
I like the fantastic zoom (8x optical, 8x digital). It works very quiet and it is easy to use. Also, the idea o using a standard 3.5" floppy as storage (the camera includes...

What's cool about my Sony MVC-FD88.

by gordy_tanner , Dec 07 '00
Pros: functional,easy to use
Cons: bulky
At Thanksgiving 1999 I borrowed a camera from a friend at work. It was an earlier model with less options. My wife saw how much fun I was having with it and how easy it was to take the pictures and load them on our computer and she ended up getting me...

Left Behind by Sony's New Technology

by PennyP , Nov 20 '00
Pros: Wonderful Camera
Cons: Floppy Disk Adapter NOT AVAILABLE
Mavica FD-88 has been "Left Behind" by Sony's digital camera new technology. Floppy disk adapters are NOT available for the FD-88 (the adapter works with FD-85 & FD-90).

I have had the Sony Mavica FD-88 for nearly one year and...

Great for amateur photographers!

by stewart526 , Mar 02 '01
Pros: Convenience of floppy disk storage, no film, great rechargeable battery.
Cons: Long range zoom photos are not as clear.
I love my Sony Mavica camera more than I can express in words. I have taken more than 3,000 photos with mine and the quality is excellent. I HATED traditional film cameras and all of the associated hassles of getting film developed, finding your...

Pros: Unlimited ability to take photos, sharp, crisp, easy to use, Macro ability
Cons: Bulky, LCD hard to see in bright light, grainy pics in low light, flash burns
I began taking digital pictures to sell items on Ebay. My first digital camera was a Polaroid 640 which worked fine for low resolution pictures, but only allowed about 12 pictures on the memory card at a time. After becoming accustomed to the digital ...

Best Purchase of the Year!

by Frugal_Steve , Feb 10 '01
Pros: Almost everything
Cons: Almost nothing
9 months ago, we had no camera (our 35mm Olympus had busted) and two of the most perfectly adorable kids you could ever find. Our video camera's battery would not take a charge, and these kids were really being amazingly adorable.

We were...

Excellent camera, with a few flaws

Pros: great photo quality, uses floppys to store pictures, easy to use
Cons: slow to write data to disks
I bought my Mavica a little over 7 months ago. I quickly grew to really appreciate its great photo quality, and its overall ease of use and convenience. Its a great camera which I rely on for many of my picture taking needs.

Some of the things...

by aawehr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 20 '00
Pros: Great Pictures, Easy of loading into a PC with diskette, 16x Zoom, 1.3 Mega Pixels
Cons: Size, Price
My husband and son Joe purchased the Sony MVC-FD88 as a 1999 Christmas gift for me and I absolutely love it! I'd been looking at digital cameras for some time and always came back to the Sony. I had hoped they would design a smaller one, but that was...

Good camera (if you find the right price)

by AtlantaGreg Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 01 '01
Pros: Easy to use. Good quality still photos with various options in-camera.
Cons: No optical viewfinder. No image stabilization for zoom. Warranty fine print.
Digital photography is a hobby for me, and it's interesting to compare various brands with the same camera specifications to one another. Not all are alike, obviously. I've had the opportunity to play with several cameras over time, and have been able...

Just OK

by stevehm1 , May 12 '00
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: no optical view finder
I got a Sony FD-88 about 5 months ago. It works fairly well, but here are the problems I have had with it:

It doesn't have a optical view finder, so when one is in sunlight it is very difficult to see the LCD view screen, and see what it is...
