The first digital camera that I bought for myself was a Sony Mavica FD85. I love it! I bought this camera because it stores photos on a FLOPPY. No need to plug into a computer port. It writes directly to a disk which you pop out of the camera and pop into your a: drive. Ok, that was very important to me before memory stick becomes affordable and USB port becomes standard feature. I can get 20-25 photos on a floppy with the right resolution.

The images are sharp and has a 10x zoom and handles crystal clear macro photos. I have had it for about 5 years, it only went kaput the end of last year. Another major plus is the rechargeable battery. If you ever own a regular battery digital camera and you’ll find yourself spend far more on batteries than you ever would have on film with a regular camera. The only downside is that this camera is heavier and bulkier than the cable/memory card cameras.

The second digital camera I bought is also a Sony Camera, it’s a Sony Cybershot W55. It’s a simple point and shot that does it’s job. I have gotten it last month, took tons of photographs with it, but have not print any of them. May be I should get a digital picture frames to save the hassle of picking out pictures to print? I saw this digital frames few months ago, thought it’s quite a cool gadget to display or show off your photographs without having to print them out.
