Sony - Digital SLR - 5 Megapixels

Advantages: great battery life, professional quality, night vision
Disadvantages: flash problem (see below)

...time.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F717 was my choice after reading tremendous reviews raving about its features. I hadn't read one review that didn't recommend this camera, so I kept my ears and eyes open and purchased one off ebay.

The Sony camera is a little expensive but hopefully I can justify the costs and why I would always recommend this camera first to anyone who asks me about "GOOD" digital cameras.
...camera boffin, nor do I protest that I use all the features it has. Truth be known, until I need to use them, I don't use them. The standard default settings alone are good enough for me to download the picture and say "that will do" and be happy with the result - being a designer, I'm not happy at low quality, so this in itself warrants my pleasure with this camera.

Ok, here is a list of this camera's capabilities...

Use of the Sony DSC F717 DIGICAM

Advantages: This camera is ideal for anyone to use
Disadvantages: Looks big and bulky.It is a sensitive apparatus.

...I like the silver colour,the sony strap that comes with it for the cameras safety and the small memory sticks look well nice and compact,easy to load these sticks. The lens is Carl Zeiss lens professional crystal technology. Main functions This camera is fabulous in my view.You can choose the quality of photos that you want to use. It has MPEG movie HQX which means you can shoot MPEG videos and post them on the net easily or send to family and ...
...has nightshot function which you can use to take photos or movies in the dark nighttime as black and white filming.It uses special optical laser built in and a red infrared laser shoots out when you use this function from the lens. The camera can be used to take photos using the eyepiece as a camcorder style cam for shooting movies or you can snap photos using the LCD screen at the back of the camera.I find it helpful for both occasions it has allowed ...

One hell of a Digi Cam

Advantages: 5 megapix, 5x zoom, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: see list below

...very high price. The Sony showed a good route for the upcoming cameras: at least 5 Megapixels, 5x zoom, good AF, Lens, and construction. The camera can be operated thru a wide variety of enviroments: from the total darkness to the sunny beaches :) The EVF is very good, the LCD is big enough. The histogram is far the best I've seen. (And very useful) And the BATTERY! I just can't belive my eyes! It lasts very long!! I usually use the camera for ...
...it's getting greater, if the Sony will build larger Memory Sticks (256Mb, 512 MB, and 1 GB are in the horizon!!! - but don't know if they'll work with this cam...) Problems Well, here we are, nothing's perfect for me :) The first thing I've noticed, that's the LCD is very close to your thumb, and you can easily put it on the LCD, messing up the screen.. The second is the very little range of adjusting in Manual mode.. The Auto mode can select ...

"A Mom and a Pro"

Advantages: Easy to learn instructions and settings
Disadvantages: Irreparable memory stick slot

...a pro. I miss my Sony Cybershot F717 camera soooo much! I bought a new higher resolution camera only to find out that my very special old Sony F717 is better. When it comes to price, elegance, weight and the quality of photo it produced. The only glitch that I saw in this camera is when the memory stick slot started to wear off. I'm still keeping my damaged camera right now waiting for Sony to discover its remedy. Anyway, 5 years of life spun isn't ...

Incredible camera, and a bargin now!

Advantages: Quality pictures, add-ons, Zoom, easy to use
Disadvantages: Bit bulky

I spent six months deciding what camera to go for, and plumped for this one. Look around now and you'll get a bargin, what with the F828 release...and all its teething problems. Basically the 5mp pictures are stunning and look awesome up to A3. The auto mode can get it wrong sometimes, but half the fun is playing with manual mode. Shutter lag is rarely noticable, with full aperature and shutter proirity means the camera is suitable for ALL conditions. ...
...256mb can be got for around 55GBP if you shop around. I like the enclosed lens as well, extendable lens rarely last long down the beach! With a standard 58mm lens it means you can use LOADS of cheap lens (dont pay extra for sonys own!) to develope your creative side, i remend a UV filter to protect your Incredible Carl zeiss lens, as well as a polarizing filter (stops reflections) and a neutal density filter. A lens hood is also worth while. IR nightvision ...

This is a SERIOUS camera!!!

Advantages: Ease of use, quality, swivel lens, changeable lens!!!
Disadvantages: Size and color!!!

...that the reason was *** Sony wanted to sell other models too...LOL... Ok, just a bad thing about this camera as I have mentioned before is the size and another is the color. The silver color gives some style but what if you are taking pix of animals??? the sun can reflect on it and there goes the animal, scared...LOL... well... not that all of us will go out in the woods... But overall rating is 100000 out of 10!!! Great!!! ...
