good battery life, excelent quality picturs, excellant zoom, easy to use, made even me look like a professional photographer

slow writting to the floppy media, veiwing for night shots is quess work.

The FD95 is an excellant camera. I have owned it for a year. I don't use a camera regularly, but with some practice have become accustomed to all the capabilities of the FD95. I am in no way a professional photographer, but about a month ago my son got married. We had an outside wedding, many people taking pictures, and yes of course I snapped off at least 70 photo's at the 1024x768 image size. I did this mainly to conserve disk space on the floppys. I got 9 pictures per floppy. I zoomed in from 40 plus feet away to get some nice head shots and photo's when people did not know I was shooting them, and of course some nice close ups of the hands cutting the cake from about 7 feet away. Later that evening at the after hours party, people were scanning through the photo's I had taken, and I wasn't paying much attention, because I had taken them. I kept getting comments like; wow these are great, have you studied photography, these are better than any professional that I have ever seen. I simply stated It was the digital camera, and anyone could do it. Later as I looked through them I found there was not one bad photo, not one photo had to be cropped or cleaned up, they were all beautiful, and my son and his new wife now have a wonderful photo album, and everyone else has a copy on cd. Photo's have been mailed out to everyone, and the only bad photo is the one taken of me when I was putting a floppy disk in my back pocket, it looked like I was picking my butt. needless to say, I started taking credit for the photo's, but I could not have done it with out the FD95. The thing I did best was picking the shot, and shooting lots of pictures. Writting to the floppy is a little slow. I guess 3 seconds, so one might miss a shot, but even at the 1024x768 image size we have crisp clear 8x10, and 5x7 photo's from any distance I took the pictures. Imagine If I had used the 1600x1200 maximum, but then I could have only got 2-3 pictures per disk, and I surly would have missed some good shots changing out disk's. The FD95 is a great camera, takes great picturs in just about any situation, if you know how to use the white balance and other settings properly. Just play with it.
