Sonyo Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a MVC-CD250. Same stuff
but CD rather than a floppy. At 2.0 Megpixal you can get 133
shots per CD. After some real use, I would have rather gone
with the 4.0 megapixal, model MVC-CD400. Only because
you end up wasting half the CD, if you don't have a USB,
to remove the pictures.
