Description: Model ID 046-324 / Sony Mavica MVC-FD83 - Digital camera - 0.85 Mpix / 1.0 Mpix (interpolated) - optical zoom: 3 x - metallic silver / ... more
Sony Mavica MVC-FD83 ... Using Sony's interpolated imaging technology the camera can realize a 17% increase in image size, delivering a 1 million pixel image (1216 x 912). Progressive Scan CCD provides high quality still images by reading all of the pixels on the imager (CCD) with a single pass. This one-time pass over the imager delivers clean edges and an overall sharper picture quality.

The MVC-FD83 allows you to capture up to 60 seconds of video and audio right onto a standard 3.5" floppy disk. Bring the action up close from far away with a 3X Optical/6X Digital zoom lens. Voice Memo Mode allows you to conveniently add narration to a still image. Use in presentation or slide show to describe and demonstrate products or personal images. Sony is the only company that lets you share your images right on the spot with anyone. Whole Disk copy lets you make a copy of your images, videos, or voice memos, right inside the camera. Need to send images over the Internet? For still images, E-mail mode reduces the size of your file to 1/4 the standard file 320 x 240 for fast Internet downloads. Take a close look at the image you're capturing by instantly freezing it on your LCD. Simply press and hold the shutter button down. Four Pre-Programmed Special Effects allow you to change the look and feel of your pictures on-camera and in real-time, without additional software. Effects include Monotone, Sepia, Negative Art, and Solarization. What you see is what you get! Large, full color LCD display lets you preview or review your shots right on the camera back, with great detail and clarity. 1/60-1/4000 Second Shutter Speeds allow you to control the representation of motion in your pictures, like creating a slight blur on fast moving objects, or freezing them in mid-motion. Auto Exposure and White Balance assure correct exposure of subjects automatically. White balance automatically adjusts color for true to life images. For the best results, exposure can be manually controlled with 7 different settings. (-1.5 to + 1.5 EV)

 ... included a video-out port on the camera for viewing on a television set. What separates this camera from the gamut of cameras in its class (aside from the inclusion of a floppy drive) is the MPEG movie mode. This camera is capable of taking movies with sound at resolutions of 320x240 and 160x112, with up to a minute of video per disk. This thoughtful feature is fun for sure, but lacks the resolution for any practical use. Other features of the camera include a 6x zoom (3x optical, 3x digital), built-in flash, email mo...more

Everything's digital nowadays, so should your camera be any excepetion? Yes and no. While the Mavica FD83 does many things right, it drops the ball certain key areas. It is a jack of all trades, but a master of none. The Sony Digital Mavica FD83 is the middle child of the Mavica family. It's nestled quite nicely in terms of features and price between the lower model FD73 and higher models FD88 and FD91. For starters, it must be mentioned that the one outstanding quality of this camera (and the entire Mavica line) is its medium for storing photographs. Sony eschewed traditional forms of storage, such as flash cards and internal memory and even it's ...  Read the complete review

1. handly floppy disc Floppy disc friendly allows u take more pics wherever u are! As u travel, have u ever run out of films? piss off isn't it? even digital cam will run out of memories. But with FD-83, you can just buy cheap floppy whenever u are out of memory space. Besides, 2. video recordable its fun that it can even record voice or video on a floppy where u can play it straight afterwards...great for parties! Unfortunately, the batteries doesn't last as long as the Model FD-73. But afterall, it has good quality pics and are easily control. 3. useful zoom - focus in 1cm the most cool feature is the zoom it gets! not just ...  Read the complete review

If I had $800 and could sneak it past my parents, I'd be sorely tempted to go out right now and buy one of these cameras. The pictures are even better than an older Sony MVC-FD7 with a 1/4" 380K pixel CCD I barrowed from my brother a few months ago. The one I used for this review belongs to one of my customers. He was gracious enough to let me take it for a spin. So, I spent four days between trouble calls learning about it and snapping pictures. IN THE BOX. The attractive retail box includes the following items: Camera. Battery charger and cord. Operating Instructions in English and Spanish. warranty, safety ...  Read the complete review
