Editorial Review:Amazon.com Product Description:The Sony Mavica MVC-FD85 digital camera features a 1.3-megapixel CCD for 1,280 x 960 resolution images. The camera also includes an MPEG movie mode and audio annotation for your pictures. The lens has a 3x optical and 2x digital zoom, plus an automatic macro mode for easy photographing of close-up items. The four-mode automatic flash features red-eye reduction and night-synch modes. The camera's built-in zoom, trim, and resize functions encourage manipulation of the images before they're viewed on your computer. Instead of using a traditional optical viewfinder, users compose images by viewing the 2.5-inch color LCD monitor on the back of the camera. This monitor also indicates remaining shooting time in minutes, a well as indicators for flash, focus, and other functions.
Like most of the other cameras in the Mavica line, the MVC-FD85 uses floppy disks to store photos. At maximum image quality, five images fit on one floppy. At the other end of the spectrum is the e-mail setting, which captures 80 images at 320 x 240 resolution on a single disk. To address concerns about the limited number of photos that can be stored on a low-capacity floppy disk, Sony has devised a high-capacity solution. The camera will accept the MSAC-FD2M Floppy Adapter, a device that looks like a floppy disk. Sony's Memory Stick (available in capacities up to 64 MB) slides into the adapter, and the adapter slides into the camera's floppy drive, essentially giving you a 64 MB floppy disk
The package includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a battery charger, shoulder belt, AV cable, and ArcSoft Photo Studio software for Windows.

As easy as it gets!
I've had my Mavica MVC FD85 camera for over five years. I bought it for use in my construction business to take pictures of my work and also for personal use. A digital camera doesn't get any easier, simply pop-in and out a floppy disk from camera to computer. I use it to store, share and email; it's so easy because you don't need any kind of adapter, cable or memory card port to transfer picture files and the image quality is ok too, its very sturdy also; I will buy another if this one ever fails...

Very Good Camera
With this camera u can take 5-60 second mpeg videos but at a pretty good quality. With a photo printer ive been able to make excellent 8x10's also using the software that comes with the camera. (Arcsoft Photo Studio v2.0) The only real downside to this camera is the quite slow recording speed using memory stick. But if your willing to spend more towards a speed memory stick you will be very happy with this camera. It also has a very high speed just using plain old floppy discs. This camera has a load of great features and is very good overall

Excellent value - easy to use
I have always had a preference for Sony electronics, so when I decided to purchase a digital camera, I started researching Sony first. I've had my camera for a year now and can honestly say I would recommend it to anyone looking to buy a reliable, easy to use, excellent picture quality digital camera.
The pop up menus are easy to reconnoiter and adjust, but do take the time to learn the features before you venture out on a picture taking trip. Depending upon the resolution, I got 10-20 pictures on a 3.5 floppy. I am now looking at purchasing a memory stick to avoid having to deal with so many floppy disks. The case it comes with is adequate but really only large enough for a few discs and the camera so had to pack to charger unit in another bag.
I took the camera on vacation last year to Canada. As long as I charged it up each evening I was set for the next day. If you care to see the picture quality, feel free to visit some of my online pics at: http://www.tmfwebdesign.com/vacation/
This camera also takes up to 15 second moving pictures. This gives you a little bit more in terms of 'memories', but it is not a video camera, so please keep that in mind.
I recommend this highly.
