Great Camera [Posted on 2002-02-02]
I purchased this camera a couple of weeks ago. It's my first digital camera, and I must say that I am extremely satisfied with its features and performance. I even purchased the long life battery to go with it. I find it's battery life indicator to be helpful. The photo quality is exceptional depending on the resoloution level you set it at. The use of floppy disk or memory stick gives you even more options. It also has an indicator for the amount of room left on the disk for more pictures. I highly recommend this camera.
Great pictures, great features. [Posted on 2002-03-02]
We bought this camera because we just had a baby and wanted to email pics to all of our close relatives from out of town. It has been a great fit for what we wanted it for. We like that fact that the camera comes with so many features and is easy to use. Black and white baby shots are great. The menu is easy to use (my 77 year-old grandmother used it). If you are looking for a camera that saves pictures on floppy and memory stick, this is the camera for you. None of the other Mavica cameras have the built in memory stick slot, a big plus for the 92. We just wish it was a little cheaper because the megapixels are lower than other similarly priced cameras.
Best Digital Camera [Posted on 2002-03-07]
I did a lot of research before purchasing a good digital camera(I had a really cheap one before this one). The FD92 just excelled in every aspect. It has 8x optical zoom (look at the difference between digital and optical zoom is a good thing to know). It has the capability of storing images in both a Floppy disk and a Memory stick(128Mg Memory stick available now) which depending on resolution can satisfy all your needs(Max res on FD(6 pics) Max Res on Mem Stick (300 Pics) Good Res 640x480 (30 on FD and 1500 on MS). Besides all the comparisons I made with other cameras from Nikkon, Olympus, and Cannon, I purchased from the mavica product line since my Auto Shop uses them line... they abuse an FD90 day in and day out and it still works perfectly... this was one of the major factors that made me purchase it. After I bought the camera and started using it I was very happy with my investementet ... My wife picked it up and starting taking pictures without even reading the manual and she loved it... which is a first when it comes to electronic "toys". I recomend this camera to anyone in the market for one.
Solid, if a little large [Posted on 2005-06-11]
I have owned this camera for over 4 years. When I purchased it, there were 4 major reasons:
1. Ability to take digital pictures.
2. Ability to record video WITH sound.
3. 3x optical zoom. This means there are physical lenses doing the magnifying - this is better than "digital" zoom.
4. It could write to floppy.
Well, I still love the first three, and could do without #4. I can count on one hand the number of times I've used the floppy abilities of this camera.
That said, I have been very impressed with the abilities of this camera. First, it could do video with sound long before most cameras, even though the clips are short (15 seconds). Second, it takes a great picture, even when printing them.
This camera is SOLID. I've seen quite a few people get small cameras and they drop them, and that's it.
The only complaint I have is about the size, but I knew that going into it...
Every connector, input/output slot, etc. still works the way it was designed. I am considering selling this, and will probably buy another Sony due to the quality of this camera.
Can you buy a memory stick and use it only? [Posted on 2006-02-17]
I have enjoyed this camera and the quality of its work. However, I wanted to know if you can buy a memory stick for it and use it only? I did not get one in the box when I purchased it, but would like to use it instead of the floppy disk on occasions. If you have the name of the disk, please let me know. I have received error messages with the Sandisk Pro and the Magic Gate Memory Stick Pro.
