Least Expensive Media in Digital Cameras - Great

Starting with the Mavica MVC CD1000 20X Zoom Sony did it again.. More >>

Do NOT buy this camera .. please, I beg you.
I had a Sony Mavica 400 and it worked beautifully for 4 years. I never, ever had a problem with it, and it went everywhere with me. More >>

Lots of problems
I have had a Sony Mavica for the past two years and I have been having a lot of problems with it. In fact I just got it back today from the service department in Tx and it still doesn't work. More >>

I'm a happy camper. I purchased my SONY MAVICA MVC-CD500 digital camera in 2002 when it was first marketed. As of this writing it's 2007 and I use it almost daily in my work. More >>
