Editorial Reviews : The Sony Mavica MVC-FD75 is an easy-to-use digital camera that offers a 10x optical zoom lens not normally found on an entry-level model. The nearly universal floppy is the storage medium of choice. The 640 x 480 resolution is great for e-mailing, posting on the Web, or making small prints (no larger than 3-by-4 inches). There are a number of programmed exposure modes that help you take pictures in just about any circumstance, and an auto white balance makes sure your colors remain true. For macro lovers, there's an integrated auto macro mode, which lets you take pictures up close. Images are captured in the JPEG format by default, but you can also record uncompressed bitmaps.
Buyer Reviews : I purchased my FD75 for the birth of my second child as I have not captured too many images of my firstborn and I knew I just needed a gimick to get going. Well, it worked! I take pix almost every day of my family, friends and everyday objects. Living in a different state than the rest of my family has been hard but now we all feel a lot closer sharing pix all the time (my parents have a FD75, too.)
As for prints, I have gotten good 4x6 prints from Ofoto.com and have been very pleased with the quality. Only upon colse inspection do they look less than lovely. As a dedicated scrapbooker I am really quite pleased with the quality. I've even gotten some nice 5x7 Sepia toned prints.
I have only good things to say about this camera. Disregard the reviews of 'one star' as it seems that these people did not do their research and wanted pro-quality prints from this little (low mega-pixel) wonder.
GREAT CAMERA!
ps This format works really well with my dinosaur of a computer... I don't have a UPC port and the floppy disk was a deciding factor for me. Very nifty feature.
