Pros: Carl Zeiss Lens, portability, versatility, creative options
Cons: NOT the highest resolution, but megapxels are highly overrated! Picture Gear Software
Summary: Not fifteen minutes ago I grabbed this camera, rushed to the banister and took a picture of my black lab from above, chewing on a dog biscuit. The sight amused me, because of late her more sedentary life style has produced a shape, from above, very like...

Pros: Good resolution, auto/manual focus, swivel head, highest zoom available (other claims false), relatively cheap
Cons: no viewfinder, battery life, 8MB memorystick, needed repair for ~$250.
Summary: Really wanted the DSC-F707, with its 5.2 Megapixels, viewfinder, and extra options, but found a great deal on this one ($549.00 at Circuit City because it was an open box item) and couldn't turn it down. Overall it is a nice camera with fairly high ...

Pros: 5X optical zoom. Threaded lens barrel. Easy to use overall.
Cons: Poor low-light focusing. Body too small for larger hands. Flimsey feeling battery door.
Summary: So I went on Ebay and hocked a couple of my gizmos so I could go out and buy a new gizmo for my upcoming birthday. I decided on the DSC-F505V because it was on sale at Circuit City, and quite frankly, I was tired of shopping around. :)

Pros: Good quality pictures, ample optical magnification.
Cons: Shape is cumbersome, menu's somewhat difficult for bug fingers.
Summary: I purchased this camera from Fry's for $450 plus tax. This camera's shape is quite distinctive, but it also makes it difficult to manage in my hands. The display is difficult to see in bright light conditions. The camera requires some anticipation...

Pros: Photo imaging quality, lens, features, battery life, ease
Cons: hard to see screen in bright sunlight, some what slow on large file shots
Summary: This was my first digital camera to own. I was amazed at the photo quality and color qaulity. I send my files off to a professional printer and when I received my first batch back, I couldn't believe the quality. The auto focus is always crisp. I love...

Pros: Excellent image quality, excellent color, battery power "countdown" in minutes, intuitive operation, cool design
Cons: handling takes "getting used to," 8 megabyte memory stick is a "turn-off"
Summary: I've been a professional photographer for some thirty years photographing women for the covers of magazines ranging from Playboy to Vogue: my Web site: modelpix.com) but the Sony DSC F505V is my very first digital camera (and I've owned it since...well,...

Pros: Great all-around digital camera, cool looking, macro focus, fun!
Cons: Limited movie capture mode.
Summary: Last summer I was thoroughly researching a camera to get myself as a graduation gift, and now, a year later I would still buy the same camera today. Why? The first thing that caught my eye was that it caught my eye. Boy, is it pretty. I had seen the...

Pros: Great color response in daylight. Excellent lens quality and zoom factor.
Cons: Sometimes you'll miss having a viewfinder.
Summary: The story...
My APS camera broke so I decided to go for a digital camera seeing that I'm usually a horrible shot and super lazy about developing film.
I did some research on the cameras, notable the Canon's and the Sony's and...

Pros: Unique design. High quality of image. Expandable memory stick.
Cons: Expensive. Battery life not too long.
Summary: The camera has got to be one of the best, if not the best, consumer digital cameras out there on the market today.
It has an intelligent flash, 2.5 inch screen to view images, precise manual focus for up-close images and so on..... I've had...

Pros: ergonomic design, easy for amateurs, tons of features
Cons: flash too bright, no case, 8mb stick included, expensive
Summary: Let me preface this review by saying that I would never spend $900 on a camera, digital or otherwise. I don't have the money for that. My wife and I received this camera as a gift from her parents last Christmas. "An extremely generous gift" you might...

Pros: Lightweight, Easy, Carl Zeiss, Image Quality, and Design.
Cons: Battery Power, Lack of Compression Choice/New Features, and 2.6 Megapixels.
Summary: -Introduction:
I was sick of it all. Walking around with a big bulky Sony Mavica with "okay" quality pictures, and slow disks speeds. It just wasn't cutting it, so I just threw the digital camera away in the trash. Oh well, It's not mine. As a...

Pros: Quality, Style, Features and ease of Use
Cons: Cost
Summary: I was on the look out for a digital camera to add some photographs to my web site, being a novice photographer I didn't want the hassle of taking lots of shots to find out what's best and I did't want the cost of developing lots of 'bad' shots. After...

Pros: Auto and manual Focus, super clear pictures, fast cycle times, excellent red eye reduction.
Cons: Short battery life, lack of optical view finder
Summary: The DSC-F505V can be described in two words - THE OPTICS.
Amazing picture quality, lots of handy features, and the ability to manually focus the lens. The flash is the best I have ever seen and the "strobed" red-eye reduction is fantastic. The USB...

Pros: Excellent Optics,AC adapter included,Easy to use
Cons: No neck strap,only 8mb memory stick
Summary: Well designed camera and fun to use. Zeiss Optics were a big reason I picked this camera. Color reproduction is amazing, zoom in and out is smooth and effective. Even at a distance closer than 1/4 inches one can get a clear, sharp image! I like the...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing
Summary: I really liked the design of the DSC-F505, one of my favorite aspects being the rotating lens which swings nearly 180 degrees. I also enjoyed the fact that the tripod mount was placed on the bottom of the lens instead of the camera body, meaning that you...
