Sony Digital Mavica Magazine
MAV! Magazine
Welcome back to the magazine for Sony Digital Mavica owners. We have brought the back issues, reader projects, camera reviews, daily news, Club MAV!, and the photo experiments back onto one desk so the Mavica community can keep using them.
This is still a grass-roots publication. The point is not to worship old hardware, but to enjoy what these cameras can still do: floppy disks, mini CD-Rs, big zoom lenses, odd accessories, home-built lighting rigs, and photographs that have a personality all their own.

Back on the Web, with the lights on
Well. What can I say? MAV! has always been a little larger than the pile of HTML files that made it. It was the letters from readers, the wild projects, the camera comparisons, the home-made gadgets, and the fact that someone somewhere was using a Mavica in a way the manual never quite imagined.
So the magazine is open again. The back issues are here, the departments are indexed, Club MAV! is taking posts, and /r/mavica is linked in for the present-day Mavica crowd. The goal is the same one we had on our shoe-string budget in 1998: offer a first-class publication with real value for people who actually use these cameras.
Happy shooting,
Mark T. Woodland
