Sony Mavica MVC-FD200

 

People love the Sony Mavica cameras -- they've been some of the best-selling digital cameras of all time.. My guess is that it's the floppy format that they love the most, even though they can't hold many photos, and are very slow to read/write. Still,...

Great bundle ; Build quality, ergonomics good, despite its bulk ; Very good photo quality outdoors ; Two storage options - camera is pretty fast while using Memory Sticks

Floppy disk storage - slow, uses too much power, adds bulk to camera ; Expensive for a 2MP camera ; No media included with camera ; Poor low light performance ; Missing features found on other $500 cameras (sound in movie mode, manual controls, etc.)

I had mixed feelings about the Sony Mavica MVC-FD200. You already know that I'm not a big fan of the floppy disk storage format due to speed, storage space, and power consumption issues. It's great, then, that the Memory Stick is there as well. If you...

Rich attachment. Good manufacturing process. Outdoor shooting better. Dual storage medium support

Floppy disk defects. Price really not cheap at all. Light the dark when the effect of bad shooting

My general impression of this camera is bla! I feel very limited with this camera. The camera is heavy and clumsy. The lithium battery with this camera does not keep a charge, especially when it is cold outside. When not using it, turn the camera off, …
