Product Description
The selling point of Sony's Mavica digital cameras is that images are stored on an ordinary 3.5-inch floppy disk, rather than on little memory cards. That means there's no expensive accessories to buy.The MVCFD88 is a megapixel camera with a true resolution of 1280 x 960, giving it a pixel count of about 1.2 million. That's enough to allow decent-looking printouts at typical snapshot sizes (4x6). In addition to its still-image function, the camera has a built-in microphone and can capture up to 60 seconds of motion video in MPG format with 160 x 112 pixels; video recording up to 15 seconds in MPG format with 320 x 240 pixels; sound recording up to 5 seconds per image. A nice feature found throughout the Mavica line is a disk copy function. It uses the internal memory as a temporary cache, allowing you to copy the entire contents of a floppy onto another disk even when you're not at a computer.

    But the Technology and quality of the pictures can't compare to the new cameras.
    I work as a teacher and have taken't 1000's of pictures with the camera I have.
    I must say it's basic/simple to use and bulky and big by today's standards. Not always a disadvantage because small cameras can be too small for a big person/hard to see. Although I had a problem with another camera that the harddrive died after on a couple of years use 2 out of three have proven to be hard to destroy. Student's are hard on equipment. Over the years I've really gotten to like the simplicity of the Arch software that come with the camera it's easy to use. The verizon that I have like all use a floopy drive while other verzions have a memory stick. The floopy disk have advantages because individuals can takre their disk with them. Sometime the floopies fail so you may loose your picures. Only ocassional if the floppy has wear and tear.
    The camera isn't worth fixing at least by Sony because even way backthey charge 160.00 just to look at it. The Camera I have can take a 30 second video on the floppy. The camera has no storage unless you have a floppy in the lower verzion or have one with a memory stick. The camera can download to other equiptment but I really never usedthose features. I would reccommend to buy a better quality battery becuase the cheap ones down hold a very long charge.
    I would say when you get use to the camera that's it's user friendly. Originally these cameras when for around a thousand dollars. My camera has worked for around 9 years.
