Summary: An ok beginner camera.
Review: Working at Office Max gave me the privalige of fully trying out this camera. I was somewhat pleased.

It's resolution of 2mp is border-line ideal for printing on glossy or matte finishings. There will be some graininess however that will always be the case until you get a camera with a resolution of 4mp or higher. And it is also border-line ideal for internet usage. The file size of the pictures it takes is in the moderate range so if you e-mail them to a person who has dial-up, it won't clog up their ISP too much.

I was not at all pleased with the movie feature. Who would honestly need a 15 seccond movie clip? Unless you deal in obscene webpages, I would not recomend using the movie mode. On top of that, it's resolution is not that great for movies.

It's control functions are basic, straight forward and dummy proof. The floppy mavicas are easily the most easy to use digital cameras. They are convienient and the memory is very easily mobile as compared to compact flash or smart media.

I love the floppy disk option. In fact I own the FD-75 which I would recomend over this camera any day because you don't want to use the movie mode and the resolution is more ideal for interent. And if you want to spend that much on this camera, I would recomend buying the cd mavicas, they cost a little more but you get 3 times the results.
