from office max Summary: The Mavica FD 100 is a very useful camera for the professional and amature. The greatest feature is the ability to use floppy disc. There is a reliability problem however that over rides my love for this camera. There seems to be a wide spread problem with disk formatt error problems. I called Sony reference the problem and was instructed to send the camera back and for $180 they would fix the problem. The problem seems to surface after a few months and gets worse until the camera is useless. After buying a $100 battery and using a floppy disc cleaner it works [sometimes!]50%. It seems that if Sony knows what the problem is, and how much it costs, they must know there is a widespread problem here and should recall the defective cameras and repair them, N/C. I cant help but like this camera as it has been the perfect camera until the bug surfaced. Strengths: Great pictures, easy to learn, uses floppy discs and chips. Weaknesses: The formatt error problem and the lack of affordable service. Similar Products Used: sony FD/Cannon powershot a 60/70/ olympus c-5060 Customer Service: The customer service is friendly, effecient, and very helpful in trying to solve the problem. Much better than expected. Good info available. The price however for service repair is not going to get many takers$$$$$$$$$$$
