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.
