Sony Mavica MVC-CD500

I've owned this camera for about four years. I bought it after reviewing other cameras in the same price bracket and although the first company I tried to buy it from told me it would be too heavy for a woman (it weighs about 1.5 lbs) I was going from a non-digital SLR that was much heavier. I have never regretted my decision to buy it. The functions are easy to understand and the convenient storage on a CD-RW makes transfer to the computer very straightforward.

It doesn't matter for me whether the camera is big or small, what really matters is that whether it takes good quality pictures or not? I have also had problems using the disk from the camera in a computer. I don't know whether the problem lies in the disc or in the camera else with the computer CD ROM. The capacity of CD is less.
