But with the new ones coming out, I felt a little outdated.
I definiteltly love the floppy disk feature of holding images. It makes life soooo much easier!
Whenever I ran outta discs, someone always had extra or I could easily buy them very cheap.

The only bad thing was the battery life was soooo short and towards the last few months Ive had nothing but disc errors and lost pics.

I finally upgraded to a new camera but I don't regret this one at all.

...this camera is great cuz the best part you take pictures are they are on floppy already so you can jus email, save or print them out instantly...no more connecting to USB port and all that hassel!...trust me its worth the price you pay! Its includes a car charger to recharge the battery if your taking a road trip...;-)...great product for college kids!!

I have owned this camera for over 2 years now, and absolutely love this camera. It takes great pictures. I normally use the 640x480 pixel option. I normally get about 23 pictures to the floppy on this setting. There is an exposure modifier, which will allow you to darken bright pictures, and brighten dark pictures, by modifying the apeture, and shutter speed. They are both controlled automatically, but they are adjustable up to +1.5 to -1.5. There is also auto, or manual white balance, for use in compensation for incandescent, and florescent lighting. There is a 14x optical zoom, one of the best in the industry. There is a 52mm ring, for attaching filters.

sony makes a good camera and i just love it i just got it and uses it all the time its easy to use and to download pictures to my pc the pictures are clear and in focus you can make a short movies with this camera and download them to your pc so you can send movies in your e-mail [short movies about 60 seconds]

This camera has many unique features that make it perfect for the right person. First, it doesn't store pictures on memory cards like most cameras, it stores on floppies. This means you probably already have the "memory." When I first purchased this camera, that was great because 16 MB memory cards were expensive and if you were taking a lot of pictures, it could add up real quick. Now, 128 MB memory cards are cheap and will hold 100x the pictures a floppy will hold. That said, the picture quality is great for this class, and the zoom will astound you. A friend has this same camera and uses some passive flash units with it to create off-center flash lighting. The built-in flash is only good for a narrow distance range of about 10 ft. Much closer and it floods the subject, much further and it doesn't reach, but this is easily overcome, plus, you don't need a flash with this camera in many situations where a conventional camera would need one. The flippable lcd display will flip so it shows to the front and automatically flips the image so you can see the framed image when doing self-portraits. Includes auto or manual focus and f-stop modes. It also takes very short movies with sound. Optional optical viewfinder. Rechargeable Infolithium batteries operate well but buy at least one spare.

It's been along time. I bought this camera new 7 or 8 years ago and still have it and use it. At that time it was a high end camera, I believe, the retail price was around $999.00. How things have changed! Now I can only compare it to a classic old black and white movie, silly and dated, but in it's time wonderful. It does what it does well, but with only 0.8MP it can't do much. A 14x optical zoom? Unheard of now! Takeing a picture at the full telephoto setting and then passing it off as anything other then abstract art would be absurd. Still, you've got to love them for thinking it was possible. This camera is a wonderful artifact (why I gave it 4 stars) of a not so far off distant time in digital photography.
