At only 1.2 Megapixels, this camera may seem to be fairly limited, but it has quite a few things in it's favor. This is a tough camera, I've seen several law enforcement officers carry these exact cameras around for taking photos of crashes and similar situations, and they know this camera can take clear, colorful photos, and whatever abuse might occur in their cars. The Mavica was an interesting camera in it's heyday because it had the ability to save photos not only on SD Memory cards, but also on standard 1.4mb Floppy Disks. For those folks who didn't have SD card readers in their computers, but did have floppy drives, the act of getting the photos to the computer was made incredibly easy. Thought it's easily outpaced now in both it's zooming level and it's megapixel level, for an individual wishing to take gorgeous pictures, this is a low-cost option you should definitely consider. This camera has a plethora of macros, settings, and options that allow it to hold it's own against the cheaper and newer "point and shoot" models. The camera runs quite a while on a battery charge, and allows you control over the LCD backlighting and other settings that tend to eat the battery too quickly, so you can keep on taking pictures. It also has the capacity to take reasonable movies, though these won't fit on a floppy disk. All in all a great buy, especially if you need a camera you can take anywhere and not worry so much about minor bands and bruises, this camera will work just fine, even in rough hands.Read full review
I buy Sony Mavica cameras to use for Real Estate work. Unfortunately, I don't think Sony is making these cameras anymore. I am only able to find them on Ebay. They are durable, and I can easily seperate the photos because they use floppy disks. The camera has a floppy disk drive built-in. I use one disk for each property, and keep each floppy disk with each file. The resolution does not have to be very good for my purposes, so I'm not sure how the Mavica compares to other cameras in this regard. Occasionally, a photo will be corrupted. I would estimate about 1 bad file in about 100. This is really my only complaint, and I don't know if it is caused by the camera, the floppy disk, or my software.
This Somy Mavica Camera originally sold for $850 and today I purchased it for $35. It's technology is dated, but it is still a Sony and it functions, works, and acts like a Sony product: Top notch in all respects! The auto focus is perfect, the battery charge lasts three hours and recharges in 30 minutes, and the recording medium (a 3-1/4" floppy disc and a data stick) while dated still works beautifully. If you want all the basic features of a quality digital camera at a kodak price, you can't go wrong with a Sony Mavica.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The camera is ok.. I like the fact that I can take a picture & slip the floppys right into my computer & walla it's just that simple.. I purchased the Mavica 350 & it has good picture quality but it takes forever just to wait to take any pics.. I think Sonys are good but they are a bit overrated when it comes to price including the cybershots.. In any case I am satisfied I chose what I wanted & it works.. My advice to anyone is to try out your friends camera if you like it then purchase one like it.. DO NOT choose a camera based upon what you read sometimes the reveiws can be misleading..
I bought my Sony Mavica FD100 on EBAY about 2 years ago fairly new and for $150 dollars with lot's of extra's.. This was my first digital camera and I absolutely love it!!! My sister had the newest $800 digital dvd/cd digital camera and she hated it so she bought one just like mine and so did my mom!!! Now we all are carrying around our Mavica's and couldn't be happier!!! LOL... I use it for my ebay selling pic's and for life in general!!! I have had over 300 pictures printed from snapfish off of this camera and they are beautiful picture's.. I only use the memory stick because my new computer did not come with a floppy disk drive (fine with me cause I love the small little memory stick's anyway's).. I have a 64mb lexar media memory stick and I can get 640 pictures on this little thing in fine mode!!! Long story short, I have NO complaint's whatsoever with this camera and I absolutely love everything about it!!! It is incredibly easy to use and it was a well built camera by SONY!!! I thought I got a super deal 2 years ago on this camera but now they are a lot cheaper on EBAY so (GOD FORBID) something were to happen to my baby, I will be back to EBAY to buy me another!!!!Read full review
