We bought this camera a couple of years ago and we are very pleased with it.

It has a long zoom and can get clear, focused pictures of things yards away.
It can take a minute of digital video with great picture quality.
You do not need to worry about memory sticks or any special slots in your computer. You simply pop in a floppy disc, take tons of pictures and pop the disc in your computer. Instantly, you have great picture.
Small and lightweight.
Has great effects such as sepia, B&W, Negitive, and solorize. You can do all kinds of effects with your sixty seconds of movie.
There is a flash and a giant backlit screen.
You can do slideshows.
Works seamlessly with any picture, movie making and writing program.

I reccomend buying the Mavica camera. It was the original and first digital camera ever made.

I am a beginner at using digital cameras. Actually I know enough to be dangerous!! The Sony MVC-FD83 camera arrived exactly as described; excellent condition. I've found it very easy to use. I prefer the simplicity of using a floppy disc rather than the memory stick. Take the disc out of the camera and pop it into the computer and PRESTO - I've got GREAT pictures to print or email. No more picture developing costs! I contacted the seller by email before purchasing the camera. David answered all my questions promptly and in great detail. I HIGHLY recommend him. It was a pleasant shopping experience. Thank You Amazon.com and Thank You David.

Sony Made great strides with this camera. I own it and totally recommend the quality the easy of use and the size.

I love this camera, I use it alot and think it is fantastic. Love the features and the ease of use.

Good camera with easy viewing on a computer using floppy disks. I was even able to get more "film" in Cartegena, Columbia. Just ask for "diskettes". The LCD display can be hard to see if bright sun is shining on it, but point and click and you can see the picture as it records on the disk in the shade of your body. If you want to see the image for a longer time just slide the mode switch from "Still" to "Play" and see all the images taken so far. Slide the switch to Movie and take MPG digital movie clips with sound. These too can be reviewed with sound in just seconds after recording on disk. The sound is as good as my 8 mm video camera. At the highest resolution expect three ".MPG" 5 second clips, at the lowest, six 5 second clips. With the stills, you will record 10 ".JPG" images at the highest and 23 at the lowest resolution per standard 1.4 MB floppy disk. These numbers vary depending on program and zoom settings.

A fun camera for amature photagraphy and recording your vacation. On the down side I am ready to move on to a higher mega pixel rating. 35 mm photography still takes better pictures and I'm hoping a higher rating will give me better zoom in capabilities.

I needed a simple-to-operate camera for my business that allows a different disc to be used for each customer...works wonderfully!
