Thanks again, Dan - What a great contribution!). Overview. When you compare the specifications of the Mavica to other digital cameras. Sony is interested in a slightly different class of user.
This is a very capable camera, however Sony’s not in the pixel race. Sony. is clearly targeting people whose need for resolution is modest, while their. Let me save you some time - if you require high resolution the Mavica line is. You won’t like it. Clink. on another link now. The Mavica can certainly be described as a handful. It’s large and awkward.
It’s priced typically at around 8. US. The impressive capabilities include: 1. X optical zoom. Image Stabilization. Automatic and Manual Focus.
Automatic and Manual Exposure. Spot and averaging exposure metering. Automatic and Manual White Balance.
Saves directly to Floppy disc. MPEG Movie mode. Sound capture with pictures. Dual Viewing through LCD on the back and a separate LCD Viewfinder. It’s easy to imagine the challenge of miniaturizing this many features. Japanese. This is a camera you take.
The 1. 4X optical zoom is the longest range available in a digital camera. Do. note this is 1.
X Optical, not digital. Digital zoom is lame.
Digital zoom just. Although 1. 4X is.
I am disappointed the FD- 9. I do most of my shooting with wide lenses, and the. FD- 9. 1 is not enough for me. It’s the equivalent of a 4. Camera. Unfortunately I have not yet found a wide- angle converter.
FD- 9. 1 either. If I do it will be expensive. The 5. 2mm filter.
Most wide- angle adapters are designed for Video Cameras. Video camera optics are well below the quality tolerance for still cameras. I’m not hopeful a nice one will pop up anytime soon. Sigh. I have owned my Mavica for about six months now. It’s hard to imagine that. I have indeed used nearly every one.
I really haven’t used the email or Bitmap capability, mostly because it’s. Photo. Shop – or any other application. The bitmap mode is worthless, and only fills a disk with 1. JPG mode. Cool Features.
The features on the camera that I use are: Manual Focus: I can not imagine buying a camera without manual focus. Autofocus is nice, and I do use it, but it can only make decisions. Occasionally. I accuse the camera of knowing exactly when I’m going to take a picture. It annoys me. Indeed. I use it most of the time. But having. the manual capability means I have a camera that can be trusted nearly all the. Manual Exposure: Manual exposure control is necessary for pretty much.
The camera will get it right much of. The Mavica’s manual exposure control allows you to select both. This is important since it is important to select. Having separate f stop and shutter speed allows you to control your depth- of- field. Cameras that support only a general exposure setting can not give you this kind. Manual White Balance: Again – in automatic mode the camera employs. It typically averages all of the colors.
This is usually close. Usually. It’s often wrong and it’s best to find a white piece of paper. It’s important you point the camera directly at the dominant light source. The light source could be anything from. Some handy things to use for white balance instead.
White paper, Clouds. Bad ideas for white balance reference are. Granny’s hair. is blue and your ceiling and walls are off- white and dirty. Sound Capture: I’ll mount my soapbox now. Adding sound to still. I waited. quite some time before I used the sound capture feature – it seemed a little. The first time I used it my daughter was learning Irish dance, to.
Irish music of course. I took pictures with sound and the results were incredible. The sound added a lovely dimension and I was smitten. To enjoy the full effect.
The length of the audio is OK, however it would be better if it were. You get 5 seconds of sound captured right after the picture is taken. It’s hard to capture meaningful sound. Quite often the best sound for a. The power of audio with still photographs. Image Stabilization: This is a very handy feature when you use the zoom. At 1. 4X it’s very difficult to hold the camera steady without a tripod.
The image stabilization certainly helps. This is optical image stabilization. With slower shutter speeds the image- stabilized. It chews up the battery so. MPEG Movie: The MPEG movie mode is very nice.
I captured a couple of. It was very nice. Since you can really. Of the 5. movies I shot that night only one is really worth keeping. Dual LCD Finders: A single large LCD Finder on the back of the camera.
OK for the Marquis De Sad, however my camera and I spend a lot of time. Having both finders is important if you plan to use the camera. The eyepiece blocks sunlight and provides a more familiar photographic. The floppy: The floppy capability of this camera was a selling point. At the same time it makes me wince. Sony could have, and should have. Floppies are cheap though – so grab a.
The camera has several features designed for managing the floppies. It can format and copy disks, as well as delete pictures. The Mavica creates.
These small 6. 4 X 4. They are not bitmaps, or JPG Files – they are proprietary files that are. PC program I know of that can read these (Maview). Now for the lame side…Lame Floppy: Saving to a floppy disk is great – but with super- disk. Sony didn’t. employ it. Sony doesn’t typically use their best technology in their own. They make the multi- megapixel chips used in so many other.
Yikes. It’s easy to imagine. Mavica. (Ed. note.
A lot of the appeal of the Mavicas is the "no cables, no special software. I think going to a Super.
Disk. design would have reduced the appeal for many people, since they'd then need. Lame Memory: Memory is cheap. It wouldn’t have added a lot to the cost. More pixels please: OK – resolution isn’t the most important. FD- 9. 1HR model. Size: I really can’t complain about this – but it is important. FD- 9. 1 off his or her list.
The plethora of features this camera has simply can’t dance on the head. I will eventually buy a small, less featured camera for snapshots. Lame flash: The camera needs a flash shoe or PC connector for an external. The built in flash is designed for snapshots, not really what the rest. This camera (like many others with poorly designed.
Sony couldn’t have placed. Adding a simple flash shoe would. Wider lens: The camera doesn’t have a wide enough mode. It needs. a good wide- angle adapter. Final: If you don’t require top notch resolution, but require a professional piece.
FD- 9. 1 is a very good choice. Images are excellent. Color and. contrast are superb. Overall it is a tremendous piece of gear. But with a big. Homer Simpson DOH! Sony could have done even better.
None of the suggestions above (see lame section) are pie- in- the- sky; they are. They are also pretty obvious, and I would have thought simple test. I suspect Sony purposefully left them out. I won’t promote any conspiracy theories. It’s easy to imagine this.
