Key Advantages

The MVC-FD75's use of 3.5-inch floppy disks ensured high compatibility with computers of the era. Its 2.3MP sensor was advanced for the time, delivering detailed images. The macro mode allowed photographers to capture close-up subjects effectively. Its compact design and durable build made it suitable for casual and enthusiast use. The camera provided manual exposure controls for greater creative flexibility. Additionally, the inclusion of both an electronic viewfinder and an LCD screen enhanced user convenience.

Limitations

The reliance on floppy disks imposed limited storage capacity (approximately 20 images per disk) and slow write speeds. Its fixed lens restricted zoom capabilities compared to other models. Battery life was relatively short, especially when using the LCD screen extensively. Image noise at higher ISO settings was noticeable due to sensor limitations of the era. The electronic viewfinder resolution was low, affecting framing precision. Lastly, the overall bulkiness compared to modern cameras made it less portable.
