Are you using a Digital Camera? Yes What brand did you buy? Sony Make and model? FD100 Price range? Back then I paid $400, $200 now if you can find it. How many mega pixels? 1.2 What kind of photography do you shoot? Nature, Scenic Ease of use? Very easy to use Did you read the manual? Parts and pieces What does the camera record on? File Disk or Memory stick (ie: CD, memory stick, file disk etc.) Is this method cost effective? File disks are What kind of battery/batteries does your camera take? Rechargeable battery pack came with charger Do you consider this Cost effective? I would say so have shot literally thousands of pictures in the period of 2.5 years and the battery still has life! :) Would you consider this camera a good value for your money? A most excellent value for the money, even though this cam is only 1.2 mega pixel, the quality of the shots are excellent, have blown up to 8 x 10 with no pixelation, good for documenting things or general use! Love this camera, won't stop shooting with it until it dies! Would you recommend this camera to a friend? Most definately! You get a good image and a very small file size. Would not be a bad camera for someone who isn't serious about being a professional. Is this camera a D-SLR? No Pros and Cons? Anything else you would like to add? Cons: largest picture size on this cam is 1280 x 960, only 72 dpi. Pros: An excellent camera, even an idiot can operate this thing! Has really taken a beating over the years and she is still ticking, very durable. Can adjust some settings manually. Definately got more bang for my buch then I ever imagined I would with it!
