Very good but on limited use [Posted on 2003-11-07]
I use this camera for work and it works very well. The only problem I have had with it is after a few months of taking 30 to 40 pictures a day it won't read a disk. I comes up with a formating error. I have had to send it out for repairs twice already. Other then that the picture quality and options are very nice.

We love the convienence of having a floppy disk to store photos on, the camer may not take the best quality photos but it is sufficent for what we need.
Nice little camera. [Posted on 2006-02-11]
I suppose the "little" should be re-worded. It's not the lightest, or smallest out there, by a long shot, but I really enjoy this camera. Sure, the floppy technology is going the way of the dodo, but it is still nice to have the convenience, to have it if you need it.
USB is in use in almost all facets of life these days. You would have to have one extremely old and lacking P.C. to not have the USB port available. But, there are some out there. There are those times when the USB port won't read, when something is on the fritz, and you need that digital picture downloaded NOW.
I can't say I'm a professional photographer, I don't judge the quality of photos for a living, but I do enjoy taking pictures. Between the multiple focus, lighting, and picture settings, you are allotted many options to make the next shutter sound capture a beautiful picture.
I would have to say, professionally, you can find better. Can find items with higher resolutions, with quicker data transfer rates, etc. But, for me, the camera is wonderful.
During my time in the military I was deployed overseas, and the camera was by my side. If it can make it through 14 months in a desert, in the cargo pocket of a soldier, getting slammed around and whatnot, I'm sure it's a keeper.
Overall, 4 stars from me.
Oldie, but goodie. [Posted on 2007-07-07]
So what...this camera is a dinosaur in today's fast-paced digital camera world. However, for the price, it's fits my needs. Just purchased a couple of 128m memory sticks, (which I am sure will soon be obsolete, too)...no more floppy disks.
This camera fits a specific niche [Posted on 2007-08-15]
The Sony MVCFD series of cameras was our Police Department's introduction into digital cameras. They filled a specific need because they allowed photos to be taken, and the floppy disk securred as evidence, without having Officers download, transfer, or copy (Evidence) images and possibly damage/lose them.
Even though the Department has progressed to far more sophisticated cameras, the MVCFD 200 still has an important role in taking images of lesser evidential importance, applicant pictures, etc., where 2MP's is not a problem. This camera is such a work horse at our Department that they get used 24/7, without fail. An incredibly dependable camera, considering the wear and tear it recieves from a host of people. We have purchased at least four replacements over the last couple of years through sites such as Amazon, to keep this simple technology going as long as possible.
