Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
One of the most affordable and secure medias for archiving or transferring small amounts of data is the floppy disk, and Imation floppy disks are a bit more interesting than most. Not only are they equipped with standard amenities such as anti-static design, IBM preformatting, and user-friendly write-lock security switches, but they're also uniquely finished in one of five bright neon colors. The Imation 11916 kit contains 10 3.5-inch double-sided high-density disks.
Customer Reviews
Perfect match with SONY Mavica cameras
These floppies are very high quality and provide excellent storage. I use the floppies today exclusively for picture storage with the Sony Mavica FD-88 camera. Many floppy brands are troubled by causing very slow storage from the camera onto the floppy. The Imation does not have this problem. I get 2 sec storage time using these disks. I cannot recommend them highly enough for use with the Mavica line. And the bright colors, in addition to being fun, make the disks easy to spot among the huge pile of old disks in my desk.
Smartest way to backup Windows®
While this medium is becoming increasingly irrelevant, it's still vital for Windows users needing to create a backup of vital program files in the event of a system crash that leaves your CD drive useless. The average home user of Windows (who backs up program data on Zip disks, CDs or tape) will not need more than 10 disks to back up her system. Colored disks are an especially smart way to back up your critical program files because you can create a more ordered backup environment. And the neon colors Imation puts out just look cool. In a crisis, your life will be made a little easier by the few extra pennies you spend on these colored disks.
My criticism of these disks is limited. First, I would have preferred having one more disk of each color, or the ability to buy a smaller pack consisting of a single color. That would have made color coding a little easier. Second, for especially heavy users of this media, this 10-pack is obviously not cost effective.
But these are truly minor qualifications. For most home or single computer users of Windows, this is the smartest way to backup core Windows (and some third party utility) elements for a rainy day.

Its a great camera. I like using the floppies, I have alot of them because I have switched to using Zips and CDs. I don't need to use more hardware plugged into my computer or more clutter on my desk. The Mavica, produces good pictures so far and is really user friendly. The zoom works wonderfully. For the price, the floppy convienience, great pictures (even in low light), and ease of operation, this is a bargain.
