Sony MVC-FD87 1.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom description
The Mavica line has always represented ease of use. All you do is shoot pictures, which are recorded onto a floppy, and then you put the floppy in your computer to get the images. No fussing with cables and drivers. The MVC-FD87 continues this excellent tradition. The 1.3 megapixel sensor captures images at a resolution of 1,280 x 960--perfect for prints up to 4 by 6 inches. The 3x optical, 6x digital zoom provides more than enough zoom for most circumstances. A built-in flash provides red-eye reduction, auto, and fill modes. MGI software is provided for image manipulation for both the Mac and PC platforms. Also included in the box is a battery, power cable, AV cable, shoulder strap, and lens cap. |

What are you using it for?
|
| I bought the FD87 thinking that I would never run out of media on long trips; I could always go buy more disks, or erase some shots. Unfortunately I didn't consider how inconvienient that would be. Lugging 40 floppy disks around Disney Land along with a bulky camera was not fun. Taking it skiing was a whole other pain in the rear. Another problem is the inherent unreliability of floppy disks. I have lost many shots due to disk errors. I liked the Mpeg mode when I bought it, until I discovered you cannot stop the camera once you begin recording. This is stupid. The camera takes good pictures, if your activity is taking pictures. Do not, however, buy this camera if you plan to take pictures while involved in any other activity. It is very impractical. There are two good points though. The battery lasts forever and the camera formats disks about 20 times faster than a PC. |
