Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony MVCFD75 Mavica 0.3MP Digital CameraCustomer Review: Ease of use, universal compatibility make this a great buy Summary: 4 Stars
Picture this, you are on a nice vacation somewhere and you have taken many pictures with your new digital camera. You get back to your hotel or maybe a relative's house and want to load the pictures onto a PC to e-mail them to your friends and relatives. How easy is that? With the 'memory card'-based cameras, sure you can fit 100 high quality images in your camera, but then to get them off the camera and onto the PC, you need a hookup cable (and the proper port on the PC you plug into) PLUS the software CD included with your camera. Even with those things, you have no guarantee it'll work to hookup to that particular PC. Contrast, with diskettes as your media, you not only have universal compatibility with every PC on the planet, you also do not have a speicific limit to the number of pictures you can take (since you just keep feeding in diskettes as if they were 'film'). A diskette is also FAR cheaper than a memory card or even traditional film. The other big selling factor which goes along with the compatibility issue is the ease of use. The menus are intuitive and things aren't that much different mechanically than a standard camera. You can learn as you go without paying any penalty really. I'm totally sold on the diskette approach depite the fact that I can only fit maybe 15 'fine' quality images on one diskette. I don't mind, because the virtually unlimited storage (limited only by the number of diskettes you have with you), is awesome. What's not to like? Because of the diskette drive which is embedded in the camera, it's bigger than many other digital cameras, making it tough to just slip in your pocket. On the flip side, it's not going to get lost easily either. The image quality leaves a little to be desired, but most entry-level digital photographers won't be disappointed. The image quality is more than adequate for e-mailing shots of the family to friends and relatives, and there are several settings which can help, namely "fine" quality setting, and "bitmap" format. Those two, while bigger, produce good looking results. For action shots or basic candid photos at evens, you can get 30 pictures with 'standard' quality JPEG settings. For the price, up to half as much as many digital cameras out there now, this Sony camera is worth a look. If you're not picky about the size, not hungup on megapixels, and looking for something very easy to use anywhere you go, this is the camera to get.
