I have a Sony Mavica and I think it's great!  The photos are shot on
regular 3.5 diskettes and you can see the pictures right after you take
them.  The is no issue of software availablility as the pictures are
"printed" as jpeg files.  You view the pictures on the built in screen
or on your home computer.  If you have a program like PMView, you can
print them out on a color printer using glossy paper and have hardcopy
photos.
