Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 Digital Camera

Pros: Inexpensive digital zoom that stores on a floppy
Cons: Grainy in low light.

As an outdoor writer and web page finatic I needed to go digital in hurry. Ineeded a camera that could handle several pictures without uploading and I needed the flexibility of zoom.
I've owned the Mavica Fd-73 since August of '99 and it has...

Pros: No Interface, Great Zoom Power, Easy to Use
Cons: Rechargable Battery Life (suggest buying another battery, for backup)

Hi-
The Sony FD73 may seem pricey, but it makes up for the hefty price in Convenience. Just the fact that it utilizes a floppy disk instead of clubmsy USB or Floppy Chips is a great plus with this model. It's a simple as taking the picture, pulling...

Pros: This camera is great for new computer and digital camera users.
Cons: Rather expensive for the picture resolution.

The Sony Mavica FD73 is a great starter camera but rather expensive for the camera's picture resolution. The floppy disk drive is great because you do not cables to download your photos. The battery life is impressive and holds up well compared to other...

Pros: Excellent camera
Cons: LCD and Indoor pics

Is that how the saying goes? I must extend an apology to the Sony Corporation.I had my camera inspected by a professional and he has come to the conclusion that the Mavica had nothing to do with the disk breaking in my camera.

Pros: Easy to use, high-quality photos

High-quality photos with the ability to store easily onto a floppy disc and transfer the photos to your computer without the need of cables, wires, or searching around behind the computer for the right ports.

This is a great camera for someone who doesn't want to pay a lot for a camera and storage media. Its great for schools and people on the go, as it uses inexpensive floppy disks and is simple to use. My school has several and they have withstood the...

Pros: Easy to use, takes great pictures.
Cons: None

I have had this camera for about a year, and I am very well pleased with my results. It takes beautiful pictures, has 3 different flash levels, and is very easy to use. I like the fact that it uses a standard floppy, and can be viewed immediately on...

Pros: Quick, compatable with many computers.
Cons: Not the best quality definition.

My father had one and I liked it.
He has the MVC-FD88 but I have the MVC-FD73
It is not quite as nice, but I do like the
10X zoom optical lens versus the 3X optical
zoom on the FD88.
It is easy and quick to use. The best...

Pros: Ease of use
Cons: None

I purchased the Mavica for use in my elementary school library media center. It has proven to be a wonderful investment. Teachers are very pressed for time. They have no patience for things that take a lot of time and trouble. The Mavica is like a...

Pros: simple to use. no expensive memory stick or flash card, uses 3.5" floppy
Cons: none as of yet

This is a good digital camera for the money, ease of use no expensive memory sticks or flash cards, just pop in a floppy disk and your set to go. I know some will say the reselution is poor, but 640x480 in normal is very good or for e-mail down to...

Pros: Convenient storage medium (floppy disk)
Cons: Poor image quality

My company had a whole bunch of these cameras and I was lucky enough to keep one for a while. For what we used them for, these cameras were great. We had representatives at colleges taking photos of college students and posting them on our website for...

Pros: It is very easy to use. Takes a floppy disk to store pictures on.
Cons: It can get heavy at times. The zoom is not the greatest.

I have had my Sony Digital Mavica FD-73 camera for almost two years now and I love it. It is very easy to use and takes a 3.5" floppy disk to store the pictures on. The only bad thing about that is that one disk can only hold around 25-30 pictures vs....

Pros: Floppy Disk Storage
Cons: Too many to mention

I received a Sony MVC-FD73 digital camera for a gift
In my opinion Sony did a very bad job with this camera?

They sacrificed resolution for some other options that can be done on a computer they highest resolution available is...
