First Look posted 2/20/2002Full Review posted 07/05/2002 Introduction & Physical Views Click on the CD400 to take a QuickTime VR tour Last year Sony introduced two Mavica CD-based cameras, the CD200 and the CD300. These were the first digital cameras to incorporate a CD-RW drive for image storage.
Pre-PMA 2002: Having just received a pre-production CD400 in the last few days I haven't had time to put together a full review. Instead I've put together a simple 'quick preview' article and some samples for you to take a look at. The CD400 appears to be a very promising digital camera for those who are looking for an alternative to flash storage. It figures as an improved DSC-S85 with the 'CD Mavica' backend for storage directly onto 8 cm CD-R or CD-RW.

Detailed review of Sony MVC-CD400, with actual sample images, and a detailed data sheet.
