I have owned 3 of these. 1 died with a drive problem, which is common with the FD75 I understand. I have used a NIKON SLR for years and have some experience with photography. I use these at work and the pisture is great. I use the FINE quality mode and can fit ~ 20 on a floppy. I like having the floppy media. I keep several in the case. When I copy the from the floppy to my computer, I reformat the floppy, and it is like having new film. I send pictures of job repairs, damaged equipment, and questionable problems to several factories on a regular basis. I have been complemented several times on the images. Some newer model save to a floppy and/or media card. I will probably look for one of these in the future. My 1st camera has lasted almost 5 years without any problems. The one that had the drive problem I bought used. It failed in ~ 6 months. Really can't blame that on the camera since there was some external damage to the camera when receive. I've found it handy to have an extra battery. It lasts quite awhile, but when your battery dies, no more pictures of course. The screen is somewhat hard to see in bright sunlight. When the screen brightness is increased, you could see the image good enough to photograph.Read full review
I bought this camera because my sister has had one for 5 years and I liked to borrow it for it's quick and easy download to my computer. The camera has tons of features, excellent quality photos taken in .jpeg format, super simple downloads, simple recharge system, and user friendly menus. What I am not too thrilled with - it is heavy (compared to my small Sony digital camera), new floppy discs are getting hard to come by in my area, not everyone else has a floppy drive on their computer if you want to download away from home. Other than those personal specific complaints of mine, I find this camera to be an excellent camera for the money.
I have owned a Sony Mavica MVC FD75 0.35 Megapixel digital camera since May of 2002. I purchased my camera because I needed a digital camera that would Automatically Self-Focus for very close up pictures (i.e. watch dials, diamond rings, gold nuggets, flowers, plants, insects, etc..etc..). This camera does exactly what I want it to do, Quickly, Easily. and Efficiently. My recent purchase of this camera was for a friend who needed simplicity in a camera, as well as the ability to take very close-up pictures of his work and designs, with out having to manually change settings on the camera. This camera was perfect for him. Of course, this camera is an older model, is quite large, and originally sold for over $350.00 new. For the beginner or the not so technical person, they should find this camera very easy to use. It can be easily found on EBAY for about $65.00 to $125.00 depending on the type of accessories that are included. The only drawback, is the fact that it uses a 3 1/2 inch floppy disc and because of the new and ever changing technology (CD's & Memory Sticks), the 3 1/2 inch floppy is pretty much obsolete. Most new computers do not include the old A Drive and it must be purchased separately. When I have a computer built, I have to have the old A Drive installed to accommodate my floppy’s. Overall this camera is an excellent buy and is well worth it for the beginner.Read full review
I purchased this camera about 5 years ago and I will probably still have it 50 years from now! Yes, it is a big bulky (not for your shirt pocket) camera, but I don't carry camera's in my shirt pocket anyway!! Seriously, I've been using only this camera for all of my ebay auctions for years. It only has 0.35 megapixels, but my photos always look good. Of course, the quality I suppose could be a tad sharper but it is perfect for what I use it for. Also, to only have .35 mp my photo's look pretty darn good. Also, in all of the 5 years I have owned it, I have not had 1 blurry picture!!! Not one! It has a very good zoom and it is very easy to use. If you are a beginner or don't like camera's that require you read the manual to turn them on, then you will love this one. It has a large LCD screen and lots of different photo options. You can change the color of the pictures from the camera. It has an excellent flash and the battery life is AMAZING! I can charge one battery and it will last for about 300 min's (and I've not replaced the battery in 5 years). I love the fact that I can just pop in a floppy disk and I'm ready to go. Floppies are much cheaper then memory cards and you can just put them into any computer with no problems. Overall, this has been the best camera and I've never had any problems with. It is big, but strong!! PROS: Good Quality, Durable, Excellent Battery Life, Convient Floppy Disks, Good Zoom, Large LCD CONS: It's big! Recording time is a little slow but nothing terribleRead full review
This is the easiest and most indestructable digital camera ever made. We use this for our construction crew so that they can take pictures of job progress or communicate any problems from the field to the office. With the resolution set to the highest the pictures can be easily enlarged and the quality is very good. We keep 4 of these in the office at all times and keep looking for good used ones. Disks are cheap!
