Sony Mavica MVCFD90 Digital Camera
 I own the model that the Sony
MVCFD90 replaced, the FD88 and I have been using it for about a year. I feel I can review
the Sony MVCFD90 because it is so similar to the FD88, and is an improvement over mine in
a few important respects. The cameras are identical otherwise, except that Sony has made
the FD90 into 1.6 megapixel instead of 1.3. This increases the resolution for larger
prints and when you compress them (say to e-mail), they won't be grainy. Sony has also
added their memory stick capability - a great feature. Let me tell you about my FD88 and
since the Sony MVCFD90 is even better, you can judge for yourself. The Sony Mavica FD88 is
a terrific digital camera, especially for someone new to the genre and not necessarily
extremely Computer literate. It takes great shots and the floppy disk storage medium is
very easy to use and download to your PC. While its rated 1.3 million pixels is not as
high as some other high level models from other manufacturers, in reality not too many
people are going to appreciate much of a difference; the pictures look great, crystal
clear, and very professional. Since the Sony MVCFD90 is improved in several respects over
an already terrific camera, including somewhat higher resolution (1.6 million pixels), the
FD90 has to be a real winner. The memory stick capability is an added bonus - especially
if you buy the memory stick-floppy disk converter. Then you can store literally dozens of
shots. The Sony MVCFD90 digital camera is well worth the price.
