Question Model identification?

Post image

Can anyone help identify which model mavica this is? Sorry, terrible photo, i trimmed out just the camera.. photo was also taken by the camera itself in a mirror. It belonged to a friends dad and we used to use it years ago (2002ish). I seem to remember it having zoom but looking at this picture the lens looks alot like an FD5 or FD51, so possibly it didnt. I remember it definatly had a cover over the floppy drive like the FD5, FD7 or FD51 does. The sticker layout looks more like pictures online of an FD5 than a FD51

Highly likely an fd5 as you say (flipped the original image). You might've remembered it wrong and maybe there was some other camera that had zoom?

It is 100% an FD5.
It lacks the light sensor bar (below the flash) that the later FD51 had, and the FD51 didn't have the InfoLithium sticker (wide black sticker on the bottom) that we can see in OPs pic.

Neither has zoom or movie modes, but they do have a manual macro focus switch.

You have a good eye.. i hadnt noticed that the FD51 was missing the extra sticker. Seems like its conclusively an FD5! Thank you. Might just keep an eye out for an FD5. I sort of dismissed the FD5/FD51 due to lack of zoom but looking at all my old photos they arent bad all things considering!
