Summary: The best yet!
Review: I've owned 4 Sony digital cameras, from the FD91, F505V, CD300 to the F707. This camera is the best of the bunch! The pictures are clear and sharp, colors vivid and rich. Macro shots are unbelievable! This camera has turned me into a semi-pro, enabling me to sell quite a few photos to date. The camera allows not only automatic shooting, but full manual control. The addition of the viewfinder (the F505V didn't have one) let's you shoot in very sunny situations without having to jiggle the camera for an LCD view. The camera is easy to hold and offers the opportunity to swivel the base, allowing for shots you might otherwise miss, like above the heads of a crowd. The night shot features offer the chance to get shots in total darkness and night shots that would be ruined because of distance or because the flash is too bright. If you're looking for a digital camera just below a professional model, this one is it!

Summary: A really sweet camera!
Review: Prior to owning the Sony DSC-F707, I had a Kodak DC290. I thought that the Kodak was pretty decent, but after acquiring this camera, I totally abandoned the Kodak. Not only does this camera have exceptional zoom ability, but it also has a macro for taking close-up's! In case you wonder about the quality of this camera, just take a close-up of a penny on the side with the Lincoln memorial. You can even see the statue of Lincoln quite clearly! It's truly amazing!

Summary: BEST THING EVER IN MEETING WOMEN!
Review: I HAD THIS CAMERA FOR OVER A MONTH AND A HALF. AND I SWEAR I HAD SOOO MUCH FUN TAKING PICS WITH IT. ESPECIALLY WITH THE WOMEN! WHEN A WOMAN GETS PHOTOGRAPHED WITH THIS CAMERA, THEY ARE AMAZED HOW BIG AND CLEAR THE PICS COME OUT. THEN THEY WANT U TO TAKE MORE PICS AND THATS HOW U END UP WITH PHONE NUMBERS! I DID TURN MY CAMERA IN AND BOUGHT THE NEW 717 CAMERA INSTEAD.STILL GET ALOT OF GREAT RESULTS WITH THE WOMEN. ONE FINALLY NOTE.... MAKE SURE U UPDATE YOUR LAPTOP OR DESKTOP TO WINDOW XP BECAUSE U'LL SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY AND SIZE OF PICTURES.

Summary: Great Camera
Review: This is my third digital camera with each buy being a step up. This is a great camera that takes great pictures. Some of the great features are the manual controls like focusing and lighting. Another big plus is the Nightframing mode which allows you to use infra red to view and focus on your subject in total darkness and then the flash pops up as you take the picture for a perfect color shot. The Nightshot mode is also pretty neat if you want to take pictures in the dark with infra red like results.
Overall this is a great camera with only one negative comment and that being on the red eye reduction feature. Once you press the shutter button you no longer see your subject through the viewfinder/LCD screen because it goes blank for the second or so while the red eye strobing occurs. If you're not careful, this can result in your moving the camera off of the subject during the strobing... or your subject themselves decided to move and you won't know that until after the picture is taken and the viewfinder/LCD picture comes back.
I recommend this camera to anyone wanting a great 5M pixel camera at a very reasonable price (compared to others) with exceptional features.

Summary: Awsome Camera
Review: I have never been a fan of Sony's digital cameras. Video cameras were always great but those Mavicas, especially first models with a floppy as a storage, were horrible. Now I have to admit that the Cybershot 707 is a great camera. If you have ever used Minolta Maxxum 5000 or 7000 models you will love Cybershot 707. In Cybershot you have all the goodies that SLRs had. Shutter priority, Aperture priority, full manual mode and much much more. In addition, operating Cybershot is very easy especially if you have ever owned any Sony camcorder. Most menus and setup functions are very intuitive and easy to find even without a manual...

Summary: Highs - Excellent Shots, Great Battery Life / Lows - Bulky
Review: I took this camera on a 10 day trip to Italy and it performed like a champ. I am continually amazed at the picture quality, both in night and day shots. Just as a primer, I went 10 days straight shooting off around 400mb worth of images per day. And each day, the lowest my battery ever came was 30 minutes. At the end of each day, i'd unload the pictures to my laptop and recharge the camera and start all over again the next day. I intermixed using the LCD display, flash/no flash, etc - and i never worried about the battery power. Honestly, I'm an amateur photographer at best, but the images it produced were amazing - makes you feel much better than you actually are. I even dropped it accidentally, at 3 feet onto concrete and with the exception of a few scratches, it works just like new. It's not all good. If I had to find some negatives, I'd say, the bulkiness isn't always the best thing. Having this huge "L" shaped camera hanging off your neck can be a bit imposing. I won't get into that whole propietary argument with the memory sticks - they're afforably priced now and so what if there's five different standards? The thing with it that I don't like is that 128 mb is the biggest they've got. At 5mp, at full resolution, it's 51-55 shots max per card. Sony could do a little better than that. Overall, you get what you pay for with a Sony - superior image quality, unmatched battery life, great features.

Summary: great for proffessional use
Review: I own a graphic design studio, and with DSC F707 we could finish almost all projects without using any other still camera. Picture quality, color quality, exposure measuring, and all other functions work very well. There are other some cool feauters like night vision and night shot, which also work great. This a great still camera that exceeds expectations.

Summary: This is a fantastic camera
Review: I have several digital cameras, and this one is far and away my favorite. For the average person (i.e., a non-professional photographer), this is a tremendous instrument. The 5.2 Mpixel resolution is fantastic, the controls are great and easy to use. Yes, you still should read the manual - because then you'll get even more out of this camera; but you can start using it pretty much right out of the box. I would recomend getting a second memory stick with greater capacity - these are HUGE images (over 2 MB per picture) and they'll quickly fill up the small memory stick that comes w/ the camera. This camera's strength is in the still images; the movie mode is OK, but they're small MPEG images and not nearly as high a resolution as the stills. I have a separate digital video camera for the motion shots; and this one for the stills. This really is a great camera. Its not cheap - but its worth the money if you want to take good shots.
