Sony Mavica MVC-FD90 Digital Camera

Pros: versatility of camera features, including manual focus, storage media, quality of images
Cons: No battery lives forever. Memory stick capable, but this is ordered separately, the camera itself is a little bulky

I am hooked on Sony products, I admit it. I have been using Sony Digital products since I first learned of their remarkable capabilities, and versatility. I bought my first digital camera 2 years ago,( my beloved MVC-FD 71). I bought this product as an...

Pros: easy, clear, hi-res, mini-video camera too
Cons: a little big, have to buy two batteries

My first love is still my SLR, but I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with the MVC-FD90's performance and the leaps in resolution and quality the Mavica series has taken over the past couple of years.

Unlike a lot of the digital cameras...

Pros: Easy to use, See your photos immediately
Cons: Battery life could be better, costs a little more than others

I received the Sony Mavica FD-90 for Christmas this year and I can't believe I waited so long. I love this camera! Having two small children and being an avid scrapbooker, I was forever taking pictures. Film and photo devoloping being one of the biggest...

Pros: Increased Zoom, Manual Focus
Cons: $100 more, kind of big compared to traditional camera

...because it just may be worth something to an antique shop in a few years. Digital Cameras have ARRIVED.

My parents have literally an entire room devoted to holding their thousands of photo albums. These photo albums contain hundreds of...

Pros: Excellent photo quality. Satisfactory battery life. MPEG compatibility
Cons: No case. Awkward zoom control

As I am extremely cautious about how I spend my hard-earned money (seeing that I have no regular income), I spent about a month and a half researching the digital cameras available on the market before making my final decision. I wanted something to use...

Pros: zoom, battery life, ease, quality, MPEGS
Cons: floppies fill fast (stick solves that!)

This is my 3rd digital camera. You can read my epinions on the Agfa 1280, and the Sony Mavica FD-83. I upgraded to the FD-90 from the FD-83 because #1 it has a big league zoom (not a rinkydink one like the 83), #2 it is memory stick ready which enables...

Pros: Floppy drive; easy of use; loaded with options
Cons: Some menus are difficult to navigate

Normally, I would not spend this kind of money on a camera, digital or not. I am a point-and-shoot kind of photographer. After a friend brought an earlier version of the Mavica to my son's birthday party, I decided I needed to do some more research.

Pros: Diskette storage, long battery life, quick recharge
Cons: Bulky, shot lag time, limited image storage, viewfinder washes out in sun

The beauty of this camera is storing the images on floppy disks (memory sticks optional). This allows anybody at any computer with a floppy drive the ability to instantly access the photos without having to preload software.

However, there...

Pros: Durable, trustworthy and resolution is acceptable
Cons: Bulky, expensive

I run the National Center for Child Safety in Tennessee, and I bought this camera to use in schools and daycares in order to create ID cards for children. This entails literally thousands of pictures per month. I purchased the FD-90 because it had the...

Pros: Quality / Dual Storage facility / Movies with Audio and more....
Cons: Initial Purchase Cost

Wow, WHAT CLASS.... A Digital Camera that not only take photographs but can also take 5,10 or 15 seconds (A full minute if you keep the shutter button depressed) of moving images (mpeg movies) complete with audio.

I booked this camera out of...

Pros: Large LCD Screen, InfoLithium Batteries
Cons: Floppy Drive, Sony, Warranty

I got this camera when it first came out in March of 2000(I awalys am the first on the block to have somthing new :-) ) It was purchased at Circuit City. Yea, Like Everything new it was great for the first month or so that I had it. Then the Problems...

Pros: Great picture quality, instant gratification! Lots of bells and whistles!
Cons: disk compacity, photo lag time.

You'll love this if you have kids, and your kids will love being able to see their pictures instantly!

There are so many things about this camera that I just love, so I think I'll start with the few things I think could be improved. There is...

Pros: Sony's battery
Cons: Almost useless at night, poor picture quality

I purchased this camera hoping to replace my fairly cheap Samsung 35mm. I was impressed by it's powerful zoom, however, unless it's a bright day, using the zoom causes the pictures to blur and it's useless at night. Night pictures in general were...

Pros: Ease of use, Excellent photos, MPEG capability, Instant feedback
Cons: Bulky, Fast Battery

This camera a quality with ease. Professional yet fun. I have owned other digital cameras but no has been able to compare to the Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD90.

Professional

I use this camera nearly everyday. When I work it is...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: constantly having to re-charge the battery

The main reason for choosing a Sony Mavica was that I had used the FD-73 in the past at work and liked it. I knew I wanted a Sony Mavica, but perhaps a newer version. With the advent of the FD-90, I knew I had found what I wanted. And, I am quite...
