Sony MVCFD75 Mavica 0.3MP Digital Camera

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Product Description:
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.

THE MAVICA - A LASTING FRIEND.......2007-04-03

I bought my Sony MVCD75 MAVICA in the last century and am still using it for Ebay and family pictures. The 10x ZOOM on this camera is incredible. I put an antique campaign button on Ebay and you could read the fine print on the back/inside edge as if it were large print! (I couldn't even tell what it was until I had taken the picture!) One major advantage over a camera with higher pixel rating is that shots taken with this 3 pixel (MP) MAVICA download much more quickly onto the Ebay and Email page. You don't have to wait for the picture to show up! (Just hold your pics to a size that is not extravagant.) The floppy feature is great because you can erase (delete) and re-use the same floppy forever!
For serious nature shots (esp. birds) you will want to go with a camera that has a higher pixel rating - 5 MP or more; even though for everyday shots, in the yard or at a fairground, etc. the MVCFD75 MAVICA will be fine. Outdoors, the sun can create interference when you try to see into the viewer but you can shade it with your hand or buy the hood attachment originally made for this purpose. (I just never purchased that attachment.) If you can buy the MVCFD75 MAVICA for less than $200, go for it!

A Great Camera.......2006-12-18

This is a fantastic Camera! Camera has a huge 2.5 " screen and motion sensory is in real time (no choppy delay when looking at the screen). It's VERY easy to use. Even though this camera is now old for the industry standards it takes Beautiful pictures. No need to mess with USB ports or downloads. Pictures save directly on the disk in the camera.

Sony Mavica Digital Camera.......2006-10-19

I agree 1000% with the other 2 reviewers, the Mavica Camera is an excellent choice for anyone who sells on Ebay or to send e-mail pictures.. All my friends make fun of how big and bulky it is but hey, I like it and the quality of the pics are very good .. Its so easy to use, you put the pics on a floppy, make files for whatever subject you want.. All the kids names , my cars, nature etc. just download the pics from the floppy to the file and its done, the floppy is clean and everything is on your hard drive.. I own 2 Collector Cars and I go to a lot of car shows and cruise ins and I am always taking pics of cars , truck & bikes.. I have owned a FD 73 for at least 7 years and an FD 75 for about 2 years and I love them both.. I paid over $ 500.00 for the first one but it was worth every penny :) Its also invaluable for my Ebay Business, very easy to use for that as well.. If you get a chance to pick one up (even if you already own one of those 1 million pixel cameras) do it, you won't regret it.. Thanks Pete C.

Still using my Mavica, 2nd review.......2004-01-01

I originally reviewed this camera March '01 and just found my review on a web search. I gave it a "5" and still do - easy to use and great price. The floppies save you from crawling around hooking stuff behind the computer - always a nightmare in MY office! For online selling the pics are great, closeups are the only letdown and if you are very careful you can do "ok" but not great. Still a big bang for the buck and it's been A+++ for function, not a problem ever and I'm a heavy user. A solid buy, you could do much worse!

Mavica MVC-FD75.......2003-12-05

I'm no techie and like things simple, straightforward and easy to use. This camera fits the bill. I limit digital photography to web usage, sending pics via email, looking at pics on my computer or TV via DVD player, posting pics on eBay and hobby websites, etc. and this camera is perfect for those purposes. The use of floppy discs is particularly nice and so is the outstanding macro/close-up capability. If you plan to blow up pics fairly large and print them, a higher resolution camera may be preferable, but for 95% of my needs this camera is perfect and so much easier to use than my wife's fancy, expensive, high resolution camera with more of bells and whistles.
