Mavica is a Sony Corporation brand of cameras which use removable disks as the main recording media. The brand is most associated with digital cameras that record on floppy disks, but the name was first used for a line of analog still video cameras announced in 1981, and there were later digital models that recorded onto CDs.

The first Digital Mavicas recorded onto floppy disks, a feature that made them very popular in the North-American market. Fotocamera digitale Kodak EasyShare V570, i prezzi e le occasioni. With the evolution of consumer digital camera resolution (megapixels), the advent of the USB interface and the rise of high-capacity storage media, Mavicas started to offer other alternatives for recording images: the floppy-disk (FD) Mavicas began to be Memory Stick compatible (initially through a Memory Stick Floppy Disk adapter, but ultimately through a dedicated Memory Stick slot), and a new CD Mavica series — which uses 8 cm CD-R/CD-RW media — was released in 2000.

The first CD Mavica (MVC-CD1000), notable also for its 10x optical zoom, could only write to CD-R discs, but it was able to use its USB interface to read images from CDs not completely written (CDs with incomplete sessions). Subsequent models are more compact, with a reduced optical zoom, and are able to write to CD-RW discs.
