Whining and keening as I was about the lack of a good camera for quick, on-the-fly pictures (The Boy is growing up fast) I looked for something that wouldn't destroy my budget - and it don't take much to do that, folks. I was once a hobbyist, using an...

I have experienced most all of the SONY digital cameras since they first hit the market five-six years ago. The Communication Technology program I direct began with the Sony MVC FD 71 then we moved on to the MVC FD 91, and we also have the MVC 1000 CD...

Pros: Convenient, excellent for the photoholic!
Cons: Costly, not necessary for everyone.

Cons: Average picture quality, lack of features, size, floppy disk storage
