Review 2 of 7

Price Paid: $599.00 from The Wiz

Summary:

I think that the Sony Mavica is a great product for family gatherings or other pre-planned destinations (weddings, etc). It is just too large to bring with you for spur of the moment photographs. I love the flexibility of being able to use either a floppy or card. Photographs are very good quality. I am considering getting another camera just so that I'll be able to keep it with me at all times (either in the car or in my pocketbook).

Strengths:

Picture quality, easy to use, flexibility of floppy or card.

Weaknesses:

SIZE. It is too big and clunky to just carry around with you. The other weakness I find is that I would prefer to have a viewfinder, or at least the option of a viewfinder besides the LCD screen. In the sun you cannot even see the picture.

Similar Products Used:

This is my first digital camera. I've had it for about two to three years. I truly love being able to make the photographs myself (since I never seemed to bring film to be developed!). Just wish it were smaller.

Review 3 of 7

Price Paid: $400.00 from Can't remember

Summary:

I've had my camera a little over a year now..and I Love it.. It's good for the beginner as well as the experienced camera operator..I especially like the ability to use a memory stick as well as the floppy..My Mother owns the MVC 73 of which is a good camera and she has had hers for approx. 2 years..and wishes she would have waited on got the MVC92..I like the feature of being able to record sound with a picture as well as taking a movie clip.. There are MANY Good features to the camera and would recommend it to anyone..

Strengths:

I feel the camera has many strengths as I stated in my review summary..The Flash is great..and takes great pictures even in total darkness with using the flash.. The memory stick is also and added feature and being able to download from the memory stick to a floppy in case someone wants a picture immediately..you can just copy it there on the spot.

Weaknesses:

The only weekness that I've found with this camera is the LCD screen scratches pretty easy..I do have a case for it..that I use all the time..but even in the case it moves around..and carrying around your neck..it will rub your chest and will scratch the screen..

Similar Products Used:

I've used alot of cameras in my life.. from regular snap shots..to 35mm and the ease and quality of these pictures far exceed any I've ever taken with any of them..

Customer Service:

I've never had to use it

Review 4 of 7

Price Paid: $400.00 from ebay

Summary:

Very good all-around digital camera. All my friends beg to use it or buy it from me. Very intuitive and easy to learn. No need to read manual. (good for guys). floppy comes in handy for real estate or sharing images with others. You can copy floppies right on the spot

Strengths:

Optical zoom is far more than most others. I think it's 8x opt + 8x digital for a total of 16x. Nice quality photos at any resolution! simple to use, yet packed with features. You can take up to 1 minute videos with sound. Great for the 1-2 year olds as they learn to talk and walk, etc. Great battery life. Battery charges right in the camera. memory stick is great too!

Weaknesses:

The only weakness to speak of is SIZE! It is a monstor and barely fits into my jacket pocket. This large size is to accomodate the floppy disk.

Review 5 of 7

Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:

I have had this camera for 5 weeks and keep finding more&more useable features.You can take a picture then while viewing it you can zoom the pic to any size you want then just click the shutter to take a picture of the zoomed image,this is done without distubing the original.Also with the digital zoom on you can take a picture zoomed in to the max then while viewing you can zoom it in even further(What a feature for animal watchingalso could be useful in security measures.

Strengths:

Has so many hard to pick any certain ones.The two recording medias shines,ms is faster & I think the images might be slightly better than the floppies

Weaknesses:

Hard to zero in on one but the auto focus could be better,but if you preess the focus button the the front you can improve focus somewhat.
