Product Description
Sony's new MVC-CD300 digital still camera features 3.3-megapixel resolution, a 3x Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar zoom lens and extensive manual focus and exposure controls for easy use. But it also makes saving photos a snap. With the MVC-CD300, you can store more than 1,000 VGA still images on a single CD-R compact disc. For even greater flexibility, save the photos on a CD-RW compact disc, which can be erased and reused hundreds of times. Both CDs, which can also store more than 90 minutes of MPEG video, are compatible with virtually any personal computer. And moreover, the MVC-CD300 is just slightly taller than the CD itself.
Amazon.com Product Description
The unique feature of Sony's CD300 Mavica is a built-in mini CD recorder, a clever solution that simultaneously provides affordable portable memory and long-term archival storage. The camera also features a 3-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom lens, jumbo 2.5-inch display, and long-life rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Optics and Resolution
The CD300's 3-megapixel sensor captures ample detail for sharp prints at sizes up to 8 by 10 inches. For a serious amateur photographer, 3 megapixels is a great resolution, providing enough detail to perform some cropping and still have crisp prints.
A 3x optical zoom Carl Zeiss lens (34-102mm equivalent) helps you to capture exactly the picture you want, and an additional 2x digital zoom (6x total) further magnifies your image. Remember, however, that digital zoom tends to reduce the sharpness and detail of your image, so it's best used sparingly. In low-light situations (a particular weakness of many digital cameras), a focus-assist lamp sends out a small patterned beam to help the camera accurately determine distance.
To save space, there's no traditional optical viewfinder to look through. Instead, to compose images or review shots you've already taken, the CD300 uses a big 2.5-inch color display. The advantage of using the LCD to frame your shots is that the screen lets you see exactly the picture you'll be capturing. The disadvantage is that you can't turn off the screen and just use the optical viewfinder to extend battery life. Fortunately, the included rechargeable battery holds a relatively good charge.
More Features
The engineers at Sony have gone out of their way to make it as easy as possible to share your images online. For example, e-mail mode stores a lower-resolution version of your picture on the disc in a separate folder than the full-size version. This compact file lacks the detail of the original, but the smaller size makes it ideal for attaching to e-mail. In addition, a video e-mail mode captures highly compressed, less detailed movie clips that are also small enough to be easily e-mailed. With time, expertise, and the right software, owners of any digital camera can create these more compact files on their home computers, but Sony saves you the trouble. The camera also includes a voice memo mode for attaching spoken notes to each picture, a text mode for capturing printed pages in the GIF format for minimum file size, and an MPEG movie mode with sound for creating brief film clips.
More advanced photographers will appreciate aperture-priority and shutter-priority modes, a 14-bit A/D processor that captures more gradations in color than most digital cameras, and an uncompressed TIFF mode for recording the highest-quality photos.
Power
The CD300 uses Sony's excellent InfoLithium battery system, which not only holds a respectable charge but also displays onscreen how many minutes of power remain. Both the battery and the charger are included. Because the battery is unique to specific Sony models and can be nearly impossible to find when on the road, we strongly recommend getting a spare if you're planning to take the camera on extended outings.
Movie Mode
In movie mode, the camera captures video clips with sound. Depending upon resolution, these clips can last from 5 to 15 seconds. The limited length and resolution of these clips guarantees that this feature won't replace your camcorder, but it's perfect for when you just want to capture a quick movie and e-mail it to a friend or relative.
Storage and Transfer
With a traditional digital camera, images are stored on memory cards, then transferred to your computer via a cable or card reader, and ultimately archived by recording on a CD-R or other high-capacity medium. Sony's CD Mavicas simplify this process by recording images directly to CD, using a 3-inch miniature CD recorder integrated into the back of the camera (hence the camera's rounded shape). These discs are substantially smaller than traditional 5-inch CDs, and hold only about one-fourth as much information (156 MB instead of 650 MB), but this is still enough space to store over 80 photos at the camera's highest-quality compressed mode. Each disc costs a couple of dollars. To transfer pictures to your computer, simply remove the disc from the camera and insert it into your computer's CD-ROM drive. Unlike images recorded on memory cards, pictures taken on a CD-R are permanently burned into the disc, instantly providing a digital "negative" for archiving your photos.
If you prefer to transfer your images in the traditional way, just use an erasable/re-recordable CD-RW disc and connect the camera to your computer with the included USB cable. After transferring the images, you can erase the CD-RW disc to ready it for another batch of photos.
Size
At 5.6 by 3.6 by 3.6 inches and 22 ounces, this one won't slip into your shirt pocket, but it's still one of Sony's smallest disc-based cameras. The CD300 fits nicely into most SLR camera carrying cases.
Contents and Recommended Accessories
The package includes the CD300 camera, NP-FM50 battery, AC-L10 cable for in-camera charging, one 3-inch CD-R, one 3-inch re-recordable CD-RW, shoulder strap, A/V cable, USB cable, and software on CD.
Everything you need to get started is included in the box, but we recommend these accessories to make the most of your camera: a carrying case, additional 3-inch CD-R or CD-RW discs, and a second battery (especially if you're taking the camera on extended trips). Compatible accessories for this camera are listed near the top of this page. --Shane Burnett

Loved it but ready to leave it..........2003-07-30
This is a great camera in most respects. It's hard to take a bad shot -- as someone who wouldn't be able to deal with all the adjustments on a real SLR, this seems to be the next best thing... good lens but the camera does the work as though its a point-and-shoot. I've taken 1000s of shots with it. Battery life is fine. CD as storage is rather convenient.
BUT, my complaint is the lag times. Power on lag, shutter lag, and shot-to-shot lag. It's painful to think of all the shots we've missed waiting for disc writing, or power on, or slow shutters. The Burst 3 mode is a silly answer -- just doesn't work right in practice. You can't even see the subject to know if you're still lined up once it starts bursting.
Net: this is an ideal camera for non-moving situations... sunsets come to mind. Not so much for taking shots of kids, which I do.
Unsupported on most mac internal drives.......2003-03-24
Unlike what is suggested in the features ---- this is not properly supported for mac machines!!!
THIS IS MAINLY DOWN TO THE SIMPLE FACT THAT VIRTUALLY ALL MACS
HAVE EITHER DRAWER OR SLOT LOADING CD DRIVES AND THE MINI CD
FORMAT NEEDS TO BE SPINDLE LOADED - LOADING A MINI CD INTO A SLOT
OR DRAWER LOADING DRIVE IS LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE DRIVE!!!!
PS. this will also affect VIRTUALLY ALL Desktop PC Drives
Having said that should be good for those with spindle loading cd drives
new iBook and most PC laptops or those with external drives designed for laptops
Liked camera, Sony service lacking.......2003-02-02
I've had this camera for 8 months and the drive has gone out. Sony will replace it under it's parts warranty, but I have to pay a minimum of [money] for labor. This is not my idea of a decent warranty. I've done absolutely nothing to break the drive, I consider this a fault with the camera. I don't feel that I should have to pay the money on a [money] to have the drive replaced. Sony has not seen things my way...yet. I DID like this camera, found it easy to use, took great pictures, the zoom was great, and it was super easy to download pictures. I am not at all happy with the service or reliability.
AWESOME!..........2002-12-11
I started out with a Kodak digital camera and when I decided to upgrade and chose the Mavica CD300 I'd have to say it was the best decision I've made photography-wise. The resolution is enough for just about any situation I've printed 8x10 photos that you can't tell from regular photographs. I don't even use my SLR anymore. I read complaints about the size.... I think the size is very comfortable. Not really any different than my SLR. If there were any changes, I'd want it to have more optical zoom. A definite MUST Have if you want a Good digital camera..... I recommend it to EVERYONE!...
Pretty Good, but don't throw away your SLR.......2002-11-13
I was hoping that this camera was good enough that I could throw away my SLR and stop paying for film and developing. Unfortunately, after using it for four months now, I can say that it's not that good.
Here's the problem... the pictures all come out blue. The only way to correct for that is to use a flash, and then all the pictures come out in stark glaring color. It is impossible to get good light balance in the photos. And the camera always insists on using the flash, even when outside.
Other problems include time -- You can't just point and click... the camera has to think before taking the picture, so you ALWAYS lose the candid shots and instead get pictures of the backs of people's heads. Sometimes it can take up to ten seconds before the camera actually takes the picture... and I have no idea why. A similar but unrelated problem is disk-access. After you take a picture, it has to save it to the disk, and that can take five or more seconds, in which time you can't do anything.
On the good side, the camera captures an incredible amount of detail. You could probably print poster-sized pictures and still not see any pixelization. It is remarkable.
To sum up: If they can fix the color/light problems and processing time problems, then we might have a winner. Until then, I'll have get used to pictures of the backs of people's heads, in blue.
Product Description
Resolux binoculars are terrific astro binoculars (and equally superb for long-distance daytime viewing), combining high-resolution, flat-field optics with rugged mechanical construction and the strict JTII spec for collimation. They are fully waterproof, and nitrogen purged to prevent internal lens fogging. The BAK-4 prisms and advanced multi-coatings on all optical surfaces really drink in the light. The eyepieces focus individually, and with 18mm or more of eye relief on each model, even eyeglass wearers will see the full field of view. The Resolux's all-metal housing is armored with thick rubber to ensure a secure, comfortable grip. Each binocular comes with lens caps, heavy-duty tripod adapter, and neck strap. The 70mm models come with a foam-lined hard case. Two-year limited warranty.
