The Sony Mavica MVC-FD75 is an easy-to-use digital camera that offers a 10x optical zoom lens not normally found on an entry-level model. The nearly universal floppy is the storage medium of choice. The 640 x 480 resolution is great for e-mailing, posting on the Web, or making small prints (no larger than 3-by-4 inches). There are a number of programmed exposure modes that help you take pictures in just about any circumstance, and an auto white balance makes sure your colors remain true. For macro lovers, there's an integrated auto macro mode, which lets you take pictures up close. Images are captured in the JPEG format by default, but you can also record uncompressed bitmaps.

This was my first digital camera. I still have it and use it when I want to take close ups of flowers or whatever. The small file size is ideal to transfer through dial up. I know, cyber out of touch. For closeup I'd rather have this camera than a more expensive one. One drawback is that most computers only come with usb's and without floppy drive. No problem, I have a usb floppy drive. Never really thought about hard copy problems. I do know that this file size is good for sellign online because of the faster upload time. A battery charge lasts forever. It is clunky by today's standards. I'm glad I have it.

I'm a technophobe with limited computer and digital photography skills. Found an old Mavica in the file cabinet at work. Invested eight bucks in a battery and charger from ebay, badda bing, badda boom, look ma, I'm a digital photographer! Floppy disc goes rignt into the PC..no, they don't hold a lot of pix. Image quality is pretty good (I'm a fisherman, so mostly I take pictures of some goofball holding a fish). I've taken worse pictures with better digicams, so I'm happy with this camera. Or was. My little freebie Mavica got wet...with salt water. Even though they're big and bulky, they're idiot proof and I'm thinking about shopping for another one on-line.

I acquired one unit in 2002 in Nigeria....and I love The Common Sense Aspect of the Floppy Drive. I used it in Liberia during the War and my MAVICA got wounded....I took it to China in 2006 and got it Fixed....And right now my Hero is here with me Still Taking Pictures for my every day Needs.
Sony Mavica ...you are my Hero !!!!

I bought my Sony MVCD75 MAVICA in the last century and am still using it for Ebay and family pictures. The 10x ZOOM on this camera is incredible. I put an antique campaign button on Ebay and you could read the fine print on the back/inside edge as if it were large print! (I couldn't even tell what it was until I had taken the picture!) One major advantage over a camera with higher pixel rating is that shots taken with this 3 pixel (MP) MAVICA download much more quickly onto the Ebay and Email page. You don't have to wait for the picture to show up! (Just hold your pics to a size that is not extravagant.) The floppy feature is great because you can erase (delete) and re-use the same floppy forever!
For serious nature shots (esp. birds) you will want to go with a camera that has a higher pixel rating - 5 MP or more; even though for everyday shots, in the yard or at a fairground, etc. the MVCFD75 MAVICA will be fine. Outdoors, the sun can create interference when you try to see into the viewer but you can shade it with your hand or buy the hood attachment originally made for this purpose. (I just never purchased that attachment.) If you can buy the MVCFD75 MAVICA for less than $200, go for it!

This is a fantastic Camera! Camera has a huge 2.5 " screen and motion sensory is in real time (no choppy delay when looking at the screen). It's VERY easy to use. Even though this camera is now old for the industry standards it takes Beautiful pictures. No need to mess with USB ports or downloads. Pictures save directly on the disk in the camera.
