Sony Mavica MVC-FD85 ... way with the Sony MAVICA . Storing up to 40 JPEG images on a standard floppy disk, this digital darling eliminates drivers, cables and adapters. You simply put the floppy in your computer's floppy drive, load the included ArcSoft Photo Studio software, and you're ready to edit. The 1.3m pixel image sensor produces razor-sharp pictures you can see immediately on the built-in 2.5-inch color monitor.

The MVC-FD85 delivers an image in excess of a million pixels. The more pixels you have, the more detailed your pictures will be. If you want rich, captivating colors and dazzling detail, pixel count is one of the features you should focus on. Advanced HAD CCD Hole Accumulation Diode CCD reduces noise in the video signal to improve signal-to-noise ratio by up to 6dB (2x better than a standard CCD). 2.5" Advanced Color LCD Screen with Brightness Control and Solar Window Panel the Solar Window Panel, located behind the large, full-color LCD screen, captures ambient light so the screen doesn't "wash out, " even in difficult lighting conditions. MPEG Movie Mode (Memory Stick) allows you to capture video and audio onto Sony's Memory Stick digital storage media for input onto your computer. The MVC-FD85 can store up to 260 minutes of digital audio on one MD View disc with ATRAC encoding. The universal storage media of choice, floppy discs are extremely easy to use and inexpensive. Up to 40 standard images can be stored on one disc. Auto Exposure and Auto White Balance automatically correct the amount of light on the subject and adjusts to match the true color of the subject. Black-and-White and Sepia Modes Enhance your creativity with the ability to take black and white photos, or switch to Sepia mode for that old-time look. Built-in Flash with Red-Eye Reduction provides automatic or manual control at the touch of a button to capture low-light images. The pre-flash mode virtually eliminates bothersome "red eye" effects on snapshots. Four Pre-Programmed Special Effects allow you to change the look and feel of your pictures in-camera and in real time, without additional software. This camera utilizes 3 different compression modes: good (maximum compression), better (medium compression), and best (low compression). The more compression used, the greater the data loss (picture quality), but more images can be placed on a memory card for transfer to a PC, photo printer, or to other means.

This digital camera stores images on 3.5" floppy discs or MemoryStick media with the help of MSAC-FD2M adaptor.

Premium Review Sony Mavica MVC-FD85: The best in the series of Mavicas (321 words)

Although the price tag may put alot of people off, this digital camera is def. worth the money. I guess it depends what you wish to use it for, if its taking pictures for auctions then I would't pick this camera because you don't need a 500 pound camera for that. The cheapest Mavica will do the job just fine for that. So why would you want to spend that kind of money? What do you get? Although all the Mavicas look the same from the outside, inside they all perform very much in different ways. The higher you go up the range the better quality picture and higher resolution you get. This one max is 1280x780 and the min. is 680x480. The lower you go ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Expensive, maybe. Outstanding, definately! (154 words)

Despite it's hefty price tag, the Mavica has got to be one of (if not THE) best digital cameras around. One of the main benefits of the camera is that it stores images on 3.5" floppy disks, which means that (as opposed to memory sticks/cards) the media is cheap, readily available and easily changeable, and with the ability to store up to 40 images on a single floppy, this camera is actually practical to take on holiday - just think, a 10 pack of disks costing about £4 could store up to 400 images!! The disk can then be simply popped into the computer and opened straight away. Images can be stored in .bmp, .jpg and .gif format in a variety of qualities ...  Read the complete review
