Manufacturer's product description

The selling point of Sony's Mavica digital cameras is that images are stored on an ordinary 3.5-inch floppy disk, rather than on little memory cards. That means there's no expensive accessories to buy. The MVCFD88 is a megapixel camera with a true resolution of 1280 x 960, giving it a pixel count of about 1.2 million. That's enough to allow decent-looking printouts at typical snapshot sizes (4x6). In addition to its still-image function, the camera has a built-in microphone and can capture up to 60 seconds of motion video in MPG format with 160 x 112 pixels; video recording up to 15 seconds in MPG format with 320 x 240 pixels; sound recording up to 5 seconds per image. A nice feature found throughout the Mavica line is a disk copy function. It uses the internal memory as a temporary cache, allowing you to copy the entire contents of a floppy onto another disk even when you're not at a computer.

Review of Sony MVC-FD88 Mavica by ranter taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Takes movie pictures too. Good zoom facility
Disadvantages Big and bulky. Poor LCD panel

...This camera has a lot of good features that make it one of the most versatile cameras around. One big advantage is that it allows you to save pictures you take directly onto a floppy disc. Floppy discs are available almost everywhere now, and are fairly cheap, and as most PC’s now have a floppy drive, you can store your pictures right onto your hard disc without the fuss of having to hook up any connections. It also has a good zoom feature, that lets you increase up to 16 times the actual size, and is good for taking close up shots, especially of nature and scenery. There is an on screen indicator that tells you what zoom factor you are taking pictures at. If you want to send pictures to your friends by email, you can send them a cut down smaller version of the picture, which they can then enlarge on their own... Read review
