Pros: Excellent images, great battery life, fast zoom lens
Cons: EVF, Sony Memory Stick proprietary storage media, and poor ergonomics.
Summary: The DSC-F717 is the fourth digital camera built around Sony’s “L” shaped body. There have been a lot of changes to this digital camera platform since the DSC F505 debuted in 1999. The latest incarnation is an update of Sony’s popular DSC...

Pros: Super sharp manual focus, electronic zoom for composing is great.
Cons: Discontinued and they did not run with this model in improving it.
Summary: Last week I took delivery in the mail of my Sony F828, read all the reviews and nothing was much mentioned about what I discovered. The manual focus in the F717, is literally amazing and I am spoiled. I have often tried other cameras and can't beat the ...

Pros: Big, impressive, flexible, expandagle, fast/large memory stick pro.
Cons: CCD Failure/recall.
Summary: This is a pretty great camera! (except for the CCD failure/recall)... This was my first digital camera. I didn't much like film cameras - I guess because I'm too "cheap" to buy film & get it developed. I also hated waiting until I took a whole ...

Pros: Swivel body, Zeiss optics, laser autofocus, UPSHOT/DOWNSHOT!
Cons: Delay between shots, Burst modes limited, Memory problems late in life
Summary: Bottom line: This camera does what you can not do with fixed body cameras. Take photos at incredible angles day or night and ensure your frame contains what you want. This is my second digital camera and it has been a joy to learn from. I ...

Pros: High quality photos, easy macro photography, night vision, low light photography w/o flash
Cons: Like most digital cameras, the flash tends to over expose.
Summary: As a novice photographer with a high end 35mm, I was asked to stand in as photographer at a recent wedding. Since I wanted to be sure to get full coverage of the event, I asked my husband to back me up with digital photos on our Sony. Now, I've used ...

Pros: Outstanding lens, easy to use, value, battery life, feature rich.
Cons: Propritary Memory stick and battery- but worth the extra expense of these items.
Summary: This is my third digital camera. I am a part-time professional photographer. This camera blows me away. I sold my Nikon Coolpix 5700 and bought this after seeing many winning photos taken with it. It is so amazing. It can focus in pitch black. It ...

Pros: Amazingly Sharp pictures. Great low light capability. Very fast camera in the prosumer category.
Cons: Pictures are little underexposed in bright sunlight. Colors are not as vivid as a canon.
Summary: Experience: I am very happy with this camera, and will not replace it (not with the Nikon DSLRs, nor with the Canon Rebels) UNTIL the X3 technology becomes stable and the chip is mass marketed (refer to www.foveon.com). I firmly believe that the X3 ...

Pros: Price, durability, ease-of-use.
Cons: Color sensing, memory stick, manual focus.

Pros: Optics, picture quality, ergonomics, pro features
Cons: None
Summary: I'll start by saying that I'm a professional photographer, so a product has to be pretty good to impress me. But this camera did it. The picture quality is superb, due in no small part to the Carl Zeiss optics. Top of the line, bar none. It has some ...

Pros: Great photo quality.
Cons: Expensive,includes 32MB-stick
Summary: I had began to take less pictures as time went on because of the cost of film and processing. Our video camera was stolen, because we used it so little, we decided to replace it with a digital camera. Once we decided to go digital, there was no ...

Pros: image quality, battery life
Cons: lousy manual focus, no steady-cam
Summary: I've been using Sony digital cameras for 4 years now, since the FD-91 came out, and I've been eyeing the 717 since it came out last year. I must say that the image quality is excellent. Personally, I like the ergonomics of the camera, although some ...

Pros: Great optics, battery life, high resolution, night mode, laser-assisted focus, bright flush.
Cons: Ergonomics, 5x zoom, slow shutter
Summary: Yes, it's 21st century, and it's time for me to move on to digital. I had Canon EOS camera, which I loved, but developing film in local photo shops was expensive, quality of prints was so-so, and Kodak Photo CD that they would make had only 1.2 MP scanned ...
