Sony FD90

The Sony Mavica FD90 is a digital camera introduced in 1998, part of the Mavica series known for pioneering digital imaging technology. It records images digitally and saves them directly to 3.5-inch floppy disks, making image transfer straightforward. Featuring a 0.4-megapixel CCD sensor, it offers VGA resolution images suitable for the time. The camera is equipped with a built-in zoom lens and electronic viewfinder for versatile shooting. It supports various image formats and provides basic manual controls for exposure settings. The FD90 was one of the early consumer cameras embracing digital technology over film.

The FD90’s standout feature is the use of floppy disks for storage, allowing instant image transfer to PCs without needing cables or additional hardware. It offers convenience with its compact design and simple user interface, making it accessible for beginners. The electronic viewfinder provides a clear preview of the shot, enhancing framing accuracy. Battery life is optimized for extended use in typical shooting scenarios. Its compatibility with common floppy disks also reduced the cost of image storage at the time. The camera supports basic exposure adjustments, giving users some creative control over their images.

With a 0.4-megapixel sensor, image quality is low by modern standards, limiting print sizes and detail. The reliance on floppy disks provides limited storage capacity, typically up to 25 images per disk. Transfer speeds and boot time can be slow compared to modern flash memory devices. It lacks advanced features such as autofocus and high-resolution image output seen in later models. The camera’s design and bulk may seem outdated and less ergonomic compared to today’s digital cameras. Battery performance can degrade quickly with frequent use of the LCD and electronic viewfinder.
