Sony Mavica...love it!

    I have been using digital cameras for 2 or 3 years and I bought a Sony
    Mavica 83 (I think...it's the one with the movie capabilities).

    I have been using cameras for a number of years...and I find that I do not
    even use my Canon camera (my NICE camera) any more.

    I love the ease of taking a box of disks with me when I go somewhere. I can
    fill up the disk, pop another one in and keep on going. I ended up taking
    digital images of an entire art show...came home, popped the disks in the
    computer, cleaned up the edges, and created a Power Point show for my
    students in just a matter of a short time. WONDERFUL!

    Another thing that is so good about the Sony that I got...is that the image
    I take is about 17"x22" or something similar...and then when I reduce it to
    a smaller size...and print on photo paper, you can NOT tell it was taken
    with a digital camera.

    I use it in my classroom...we take photos of each student on their own disk
    for them to use to manipulate using graphic software. It's so easy to pop
    each disk in...take the photo...put in another disk...and so on.
    We also use this camera to take a 5 sec video of students introducing their
    Power Point presentations...for whatever class they're taking. It's so easy
    for each student to bring their disk...take the image of them introducing
    their presentation...giving them the disk and they're "on their way".
    It's the best I've seen....and I paid about $650 for mine.
