Advantages: great picture quality, convenient cdr image storage. easy to use, good battery life Disadvantages: this is a somewhat bulky camera
I bought my Mavica CD500 about a year and a half ago. Since then I have taken well over 2000 pictures with it. The pictures almost always turn out very well. It is espescially good for close up pictures. For example, it is a delight to take a picture of a flower at the max resolution (5mp) and then look at it in great detail on my computer screen. I am not a photo expert, but have been able to take pictures good enough to enter in art shows with ... ...cable to my pc to upload the pics. Rather, I just take out the cdr mini disk and pop it in my notebook's cd drive. I copy some of the pics onto my hard drive, and save every pic on the cdr disks. Current cdr mini cdrs hold 210mb or about 75 full size pictures, and cost less than a dollar so they are great deals.

Advantages: Long-lasting, and allow instant archiving of pictures . Disadvantages: Quite Expensive
This camera is a genius. The picture quality is really amazing. I have big hands and the camera fits in my hands very well. 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 ... ...data. USB cable is used to transfer the images to the PC. The process requires installing software onto the PC, but after the installation, the transfer of images is fast and painless.
