Good Points: Relatively easy to use.
Bad Points: The LCD display is sometimes hard to see on a bright sunny day, but hardly a major draw back.
General comments: I bought this camera in March 1999 and I still love it. I've taken pictures with it from coast to coast including aerials. Quality is good enough for what I'm looking for (recording trips with quick results). Uploading the images to computer can't get any easier than this.

floppy sounds good but, they are not a safe medium as most floppys form bad sectors when played back and you end up loosing all the images.
1/2 mp resolution is only good for the net.
sony mavica fd 71 often does not focus in the dark. it's better to spend some more money and buy at least a 2mp resolution camera.

too bad sony installed only a LCD viewfinder. when the sun is shining brightly into the screen, you ...

I was amazed at first that a digital camera had been built around a floppy drive. That impressed me. Until I saw how much Sony expect you to pay for this.
Basically, the Sony FD-71 has a 350,000 pixel CCD, the same size as the £160 Agfa ePhoto 780, but costs twice as much. Why? Presumably because the miniature floppy drive is expensive to manufacture.
Problems with this camera;
The low resolution means that unless you are running a website, image quality is gonna be low. Very low. Una ...

Got this Camera because Id rather have a stack of floppy disks than spend a fortune on flash cards. Transfer to PC is much simpler too. Resolution seems good. Optical zoom is upto 10x which is all I need. Money well spent.
