I am selling a 5 year old Sony Mavica CD200. It was bought an used to take photos at a construction jobsite. It was retired after it repeatedly gave disk errors sometimes causes all the photos on the disk to be lost. The camera was given to me to tinker with when a new camera was bought. This was about 3 years ago.
When I got it, I noticed two things:
1) The camera was using non Sony approved CD's when the camera's instructions clearly state that only Mavica labeled CD's should be used. So, I went and bought a 3-pack of Sony Mavica CD-RW's and the camera has worked much better. I have had a couple of disk errors but I haven't lost any photographs.
2) The camera works much better with my Macs than it does with PC's. When we were using it at work, none of the PC's (save mine) could get the camera to connect with the USB cord. They all had to use insert the CD itself into the computer (some with the included fill-size CD adapter) to access the photos. With my Macs and iPhoto, it has always just worked. This is why I decided to try and sell this camera here versus eBay since I know that the camera works better with Macs.
The camera was used once a month for two years on the jobsite. Since then, it was used sparingly by me when I first got it since I already had a digital camera. For the last two years, it has been stuffed away in a dresser. I got the camera out last week, snapped 12 pictures and loaded them on my iMac. Everything worked great. The camera's battery still holds a great charge. I fully charged it up last week and after the pictures I took, the camera still reads that it has over 110 minutes remaining.
With the camera I am including the charger and power cord (you connect the camera directly to the wall), the USB cable, an AV cable to connect to your TV, 3 Sony Mavica CD-RW's, the original sholder strap, and the full-size CD adapter. I am selling all of this for $50 shipped.
