In my mind the way sony stores their picture files is kind of hokey. Those cds are expensive and cannot be reused. Same with their memory stick. I also didn't like it when they used 3 1/2" discs. I would never buy a sony camera, but that is just my opinion.

You mean their media is hokey? I find it very appealing. You can fit 80+ pictures on one disk that cost less than $2 USD. The disks small size make them very portable. I would like to talk to somone who actually has one, but I appreciate your input. Barry

Fro under 1000 cdn, you could get the olympus c 5050 somewhere like dumoulin in quebec or something.
very good camera. Also the c 4000 ultra zoom by olympus is an other great choice.

We have a Sony CD 300 Mavica and I love it. The model you're thinking of is the CD 350 (it's smaller and lighter). Contrary to Greg Wests beliefs you can reuse the media if you use CD-RW discs (you can get ten 180 meg discs for about 30 Canadian dollars I think). I love the CD Mavica, the lens is awesome (with out a good lens it doesn't matter how many megapixals you have) and the only camera I would switch to would be one of the digital rebels that take regular canon lenses (because we happen to have a bunch) at 6 or more megapixals, but they aren't cheap.

Thanks Lisa. About 4yrs ago I bought one of the first Mavicas that took the floppys but that was back when no one new what an MP was Ha!
