Sony - Mavica MVC-CD1000

 

For all their usefulness, digital cameras still compare unfavourably with their conventional counterparts in two key areas. First, there's the lack of capacity for image storage, especially if you are shooting at higher resolutions, and second ...

This is a large, fully featured, high quality digital camera with a price tag to match, but the internal CD-R image storage gives it a telling advantage over the competition. Definitely one to check out.

Sony Mavica MVC-CD1000

 

Revolutionary digital camera has a built-in CD-R drive for storing photos. But you pay dearly for the privilege.

This is possibly the ultimate digital camera for professionals and serious amateurs who blaze away huge numbers of photos during a photo session. Its recording speed, however, is too slow for most action photography.

The new $1299 Sony MVC-CD1000 (Digital Mavica) shares the same basic "look and feel" of its Mavica MVC-FD95 sibling. It has the same incredible 10x optical / 20x digital SteadyShot stabilized zoom lens, a high-resolution color viewfinder plus a 2.5

Abandon the floppy disk in favour of a 156MB, 3-inch CD-R disk that can hold up to 1,000 640-by-480 images with this camera. Click happy?
