Just Because It's Big...! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
There was a little piece of advice I always gave people upon choosing their first digital camera, that being: 1)Take the megapixel count you are interested in, and 2)Multiply it by 100 3)If you spend within 50 dollars of that, you have basically gotten a good deal. If you pay less, you are probably missing some fundamental feature (a zoom is often the first thing to go) and if you pay more, you are getting more than you probably wanted (some special lens made from a glass that NASA uses to make the microwaves on the shuttle or something like that). With the Mavica FD series, the extra 100 or 200 dollars is going to its method of storing pictures, on simple, inexpensive floppy disks.
If that still does not seem to justify the price, consider this: a floppy disk drive runs anywhere from 40 to 60 dollars, now take that drive and stick it on the back of a digital camera (thus making it self-powered).
And then there is the media itself: Smartmedia and CompactFlash cards are down in price (averaging less than a dollar per megabyte) and are available in sizes in the giga-range. That all seems fine and dandy, until you consider the phrase "don't put all your eggs in one basket." The cards are like any other data storage media, and thus prone to corruption and electromagnetic interference. So, because of a simple error in the camera (it is a computer like any other, and thus prone to all the same weaknesses), a whole 64+ megabytes of memories can be lost forever. And, to add insult to injury, that card was really expensive! Meanwhile, a box of 40+ floppy disks (at about 1.44MB per disc) costs a little less than 10 dollars. Now get out your calculators....Okay....PENCILS DOW--I MEAN, CALCULATORS DOWN!
Of course, the problem with floppy disks is that there are so many of them that lugging them around your vacation spot can be a complete pain. Fortunately, unlike the FD-75, you have the option of using Memory Sticks. In fact, if you take someone's picture on the MemStick, but want to give them one of the photos, simply insert a floppy disk and copy (just like in a computer) the picture to the floppy and give them that disk. Beats making them wait for a print.
Also, Sony's sensibility guided them toward making the FD Mavicas out of HandyCam parts, meaning that some of the accessories you got for/with your Handycam (if you have one)can be used with the mavica, namely the battery (that little crummy one that came with it that you have probably not used since you got that even better 8-hour one!) which is exactly the same as the battery that comes with the FD! So, out of the box, you have doubled the battery life of the camera. Also, the camera has a 37mm filter thread, which allows you to attach neat accessories like color filters and fisheye lenses.
Final word: a little pricey and not much for resolution, but for Handycam owners, it is a new lease on life for those old batteries!
Editorial Review:
Choice is good. And with Sony's MVC-FD100, you're able to choose between the simplicity of storing your images to an economical floppy disk or convenient Memory Stick Media. Or, copy images from your Memory Stick Media to a floppy disk and share your memories on the spot! Dual media functionality is built right into the body of this powerful, megapixel camera. Other great features include 12-bit DXP analog/digital conversion, multiple image and video modes, MPEG movie function, high-speed auto focus, and an intelligent flash with red-eye reduction.

With the Sony MVC-FD75 Digital Still Camera you can make sure every shot is the perfect picture. The powerful zoom lens gives you the flexibility and precision you need to capture professionally-polished images. If you like to get close to your subjects, use Auto Macro for shots up to 1 inch from your subject.Progressive Scan provides high quality still images by reading all the pixels on an imager (CCD) with a single pass. This one time pass over the imager delivers clean edges and an overall sharper picture for still images. This exclusive technology developed by Sony allows for double the speed when recording or playing back images. The high-speed motor allows you to save images to your floppy within seconds. The universal storage media of choice, floppy disks are extremely easy to use and inexpensive. Now you can stop worrying about expensive and exotic storage media. For easy image storage and hassle-free portability, the floppy is the format of choice. The Digital Mavica camera uses the universal JPEG compression format to store images on your floppy, providing you with excellent picture quality and allowing you to view your images on virtually any computer. Thanks to the universal floppy, you don't have to connect a mess of wires or load drivers and adapters. And you don't need to worry about compatibility problems. Simply insert the floppy in the disk drive and see how easy it is.

Big results from a little camera 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
When shopping for a camera to replace my Sony Mavica CD camera, my friend suggested the DSC P200. When I first saw it I was not too impressed. Oh, no, I thought, not some cheap 'point and shoot'. My friend knew that I did some serious photograpy, actually pursuing a commercial art course at a local community college. I had used his Nikon D-70 professional digital SLR for classes, but knew that a good SLR was way out of my price range. Since I have a lot of respect for my friend, who produces claymation movies, I decided to give the camera a try. WOW! This is one outstanding camera. Amazingly, it manages to incorporate most of the features of a much more expensive camera, into a size that actually qualifies as a 'shirt pocket' camera. With 7.1 mp, and a 3x Carl Zeiss zoom lens, ( equal to a 38-114 mm 35mm lens) the camera is capable of producing an impressive image. It has all the functions of an SLR, such as full auto, program and manual modes. It also has 6 image sizes, including 640x480 for email and webpage. Okay, I could go on and on, and don't get me started on how great the video is. Just accept that I use it to make videos that I post on YouTube, and the images look as good as anything else. Alright, sometimes that's not saying very much. Trust me though, when I say that for the price, this Sony camera can hold it's own against a lot of much more expensive and even professional cameras. And, you can carry it anywhere. I even carry it around my house to catch those "Aw, look how cute the dog/cat is" shots. You know, the ones you always miss 'looking for the camera'! Yeah, I gotta admit-I do love it!

Sony f828 is a classic design. Functional and attractive at the same time. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I bought the Sony f828 second hand 2 months ago for SGD$650, which is about USD$430ish. I fell in love with it the first time I held it when it first came out, but it was way too expensive. Now it is mine!
The f828 has come down in price, yet it remains very competitive in terms of appearance, features and results.
All this previous brouhaha about "purple fringing" and "excessive graininess" was, in technical jargon, a load of bulldust.
Perhaps one of the reasons people had criticisms about it was it's high price. If it had been originally priced 35% cheaper, in line with it's other prosumer contemporaries, maybe it would have fared better reviewise. But then again, Sony has always priced itself higher than other brands.
Back to the present though. I've taken about 150 shots and I find it is an immensely versatile camera.
It takes two types of memory cards (I have a 1GB Compact Flash and 2 GB Sony Mem Stick Duo primed and loaded), it has a gorgeous lens which focuses mega fast and has a very useful zoom range from wide angle 28mm to 200mm. This is far more versatile than the f828 replacement, the R1. In addition, I love having shutter speed control, manual zoom and focus, manual flash and tilting the handgrip so you dont have to hold the LCD screen near your eyes like a dork.
The photos arent bad either. Sony has always had excellent colour and this is no different. I admit that it is not as perfect as a dSLR (I had a Canon 350d prior to this. Pic quality was awesome) but since i rarely print photos, this is not an issue. I usually store pics on computer, burning them onto VCD as backup. If I want to share, I post them online. A lot more "modern" people do that than people realise. Not everyone wants to print hundreds of photos which are the size of an A4 sheet of paper.
Are there any gripes?
A larger LCD screen might be nicer, though I really have no problems with the 1.8 inch one provided. Current digi cameras all have 2.5 inch though.
As one reviewer mentioned, it does get a bit heavy if you carry it around for hours on end.
The instruction manual could use some improvement. There were a couple of times it would say something like "press the blah blah button to use the blah blah feature" without actually specifying where the button was, or how to find the controls for the feature.
But overall I like the f828. At it's current second hand price, there is no digi camera which has it's features, and you have to pay a lot more to get superior features plus picture quality. The Panasonic FZ-50 has double the zoom range, but no wide angle and some people still think it has issues with grain. A dSLR with a useable 28-200mm lens costs triple or quadruple the price. (eg a Nikon dSLR with a Nikon 28-200mm lens)
I hope some people find my opinion of some use :) Cheers!

Its my fun camera 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I have the Limited Japanese Black Version . As soon as I saw it, I knew that was the camera that I wanted. I love technology, and this struck my eyes and I was impulsive and just got it! I was pulling my hair out reading reviews and just going insane. So I said, you know what, just go for it! And I did. Im very happy with this camera. It does exactly what I need it to do, fit into my back pocket! I can take it anywhere, and it is not bulky like other film cameras or even DSLR's ! There are things about it that make me sad, and wish I bought a different camera. But, you never know if your going to like a camera until you try it out. So, I have had it for abuot 3 years, and for the most part I like it, but I still look at other camera, and, I still buy other camera. Because it is an addiction.
Pro's: great size, very easy to take everywhere, fits in small purse, pockets, jackets, etc. Cool , sleek , stylish, Big LCD screen, bright, easy buttons , user friendly interface, produces up to an 8.5 x 11 print, great quality, sephia and negative color modes are useful and fun, has great accessories, great battery life, great macro feature
con's: red eye reduction does seem to work, flash grabs light and dust with make these weird orb looking circles on pictures, buttons are small, front slide down lense cover doesnt lock, nighttime photos are horrible, unless you carry a tripod around with you 24/7, then you MIGHT get a good photo.. but chances are slim to none!
all in all, its a nice camera to have to take " fun photos " if your on the go, and you just want something small its a good camera.
I would recomend the DSC-T30 , its is a newer edition and they have fixed a lot of the problems that you find with the DSC-T1

LOVE this camera! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
I purchased one of the DSC 717's several years ago and this I LOVE this camera. It is still one of the best cameras out there, even though it was made in 2002. I love that I can flip the lens up so I can use this camera like a camcorder. I love the photos it takes in all light situations. It does a great job when I use it as a manual camera or an automatic. The only downside is this is a large camera, so it doesn't fit in your pocketbook (unless you have a LARGE bag). To me I'd rather it be large than miss out on all the great features it has. My camera goes with me everywhere. Thanks to Sony for making such a great product.

With 8.1-Megapixel the DSC-T20 delivers clarity to group photos and snapshots for greater detail in big prints. The Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens design along with Face Detection feature optimizes natural tones in faces. High Definition output makes photos look even more spectacular when you share them with friends and family on your HDTV screens. Sony Super HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. With Super SteadyShot(R) Image Stabilization and high sensitivity ISO 3200, the DSC-T20 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur, brightens images and allows flash-free shooting. Sony Clear RAW Noise Reduction reduces the picture noise that can ruin low-light shots. The DSC-T20 lets you add creative effects to photos after you shoot including soft edge filter to soften backgrounds, cross filter to place starry dazzles at highlight points, partial color filter to mute surrounding colors, even fish-eye filter to create interesting fish-eye lens effects. The DSC-T20 provides up to 380 shots with a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery. 1/2.5-inch Super HAD(TM) CCD Imaging Device Exposure Compensation - 1/3 EV Step Increments Focal Length - 6.33 - 19 mm 35mm Equivalent - 38 - 114 mm Focus - 9 Area Multi-Point AF, Center AF, Spot AF Shutter Speed - 1/4-1/1000 seconds (Auto), 1-1/1000 seconds (Program Auto) Aperture Range - f3.5-5.6 (W), f4.3-10 (T) Self-Timer - 10 seconds, 2 seconds & Off White Balance - Automatic, Cloudy, Daylight, Fluorescent 1, Fluorescent 2, Fluorescent 3, Incandescent & Flash Power Save Mode - After 3 minutes of inactivity In-Camera Editing - Red-eye reduction HD 1080i Output Flash Modes - Auto, Forced On, Forced Off, Slow Synch Scene Modes - Beach, Fireworks, High Sensitivity, High Speed Shutter, Landscape, Snow, Soft Snap, Twilight & Twilight Portrait Operating Sys
