Sony MVC-FD87

Pros: exquisite close ups, details, sharp photos, high quality photos

Cons: no viewfinder, uses floppy disks, no case, light on LCD screen uses lots of power

The Bottom Line: I never thought such gorgeous photos could be taken by a mid-level camera. The photo quality is worth enduring the minor inconveniences of this camera.

Review: It all started with lipstick.

I was cruising ebay looking for a less expensive source for "designer" lipstick. Page after page, I flipped through pictures of blurry fascimiles of what the auctioneers had for sale.

I was about...

Review: A nice low priced digital camera that can use both 1.44 MB floppy discs and a memory stick card. This camera lists for $499 and can be found for a little over $400. It comes ready to use the 1.44 MB discs but you will have to purchase the optional...

Pros: This camera has stamina, is easy to use; I love the floppy disk option!

Cons: I would love a view finder! The mysterious yellow tint.

The Bottom Line: This camera is easy to use and provides good quality. I like being able to use floppy disks, but I wish its body had a more natural feel.

Pros: Very easy to use. Good picture quality. Brainless transfer to computer

Cons: Size, weight, absence of separate charger, slow speed writing to floppy
