I have the DSC S70, and am happy with it. It is going to be slower recording than the other two because of the media, but the media is cheaper. I have heard problems with the FD Mavica line with problems with drop outs on floppy disks, though I have no direct experience with that line, and I do know a few people who are quite happy with those cameras. It is quite a bit larger and heavier.... The only thing the Kodak has is the PC Synch connector if you plan to use external flash, but then the Sony has an external flash available for $100. I shot with the Sony tripod mounted and an optical slave trigger to a Sunpak 433, with good results by placing the autoexposure on Aperature preference, and then selecting an aperature for the flash......works if not elagantly.
