Rating: Summary: The Only Digital Camera You'll Ever Need Review: In reading the other reviews, they've captured all the technical aspects of this camera. The pictures are very clear and if you've owned another digital camera, it's pretty easy to figure out how to use this one. The features almost seem to be limitless. I purchased this camera at Circuit City and got a GREAT price. Trust me, it's well worth the extra couple hundred dollars because you won't need to upgrade and you won't be disatisfied with the pictures. I owned a Cannon S110 and it took good pictures, but this doesn't even compare. I can't wait to hit Bermuda with this camera!!!To save yourself some hassel, make sure you use a reputable company. A lot of the on-line stores give you these unbelievable deals. Just remember if it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true. They have you call in to confirm the sale and won't sale you the product at the advertised price unless you purchase overpriced accessories. Be careful, when I didn't get the accessories on one site (US1Digital.com), they told me they would send me an off market version of this camera with the instructions in Japanese. Be careful!!!!
Rating: Summary: Sony DSC-F707 Review: I owned the Sony DSC-S50 for about 2 years.. loved it.. I bought this one around Christmas and I LOVE it! Once you get into printing your own pictures this is a must! The difference in resolution is Wonderful! These pictures come out sooo much better than the 2.1mp ones. I love all the features and the ability to hook up wide angle and close-up lenses is great! If you're looking for a great camera that is easy to use.. grab this one!
Rating: Summary: The best digital camera I ever had. Review: But regular Nikon SLR 35mm is better anyway. So, if you need digital I'd go with F707, but if you have options to use 35mm I would chose 35mm
Rating: Summary: beyond perfection Review: I purchased the dsc707 before xmas along with the various filters. The pics that I took at Xmas were beyond my expectations. This is my fourth digital camera, my first Sony, and from the results that I have had, I will be purchasing Sony in the future. The ease of operation, quick downloading via usb, and the quality of the pics makes this the best digital camera purchase on the market not only for the professional but for the home photographer such as I. I highly recommend this camera.
Rating: Summary: Phenomenal camera Review: This camera meets all my expectations, and more. It is easy to use, easy to learn, and provides as much manual compensation as most camera junkies can use. The rotating body easily allows the camera to be held in an overhead position or in a low, Hasselblad-like style. The pictures are very detailed and the color rendition is exceptional. I use Adobe Photoshop to tone down the red a little in some pictures - but it's so easy. The driver software, for seeing the camera as a hard drive, installed easily on my PC (WIN 98) and works like a charm. The only reason I will keep my Nikon is for the far ends of the photographic spectrum - very high speed or very long exposures. It is a little hard to capture exactly the right moment in fast action. I have not yet tried the multiple frame shots to see if that helps.
Rating: Summary: Sony F505 and F707 Cybershot Digital Camera Review: I have had the Sony F505 for a year now. I know of no camera that can match the quality of the photos it takes. It uses a 3.2 megapixel array but only employs a maximum of 2.7 of the available megapixels. I believe the quality of the photos is due to the Zeiss lens and to a superior A-to-D conversion process. My only gripe with the camera is its lack of a viewfinder (only needed for bright sunlight). This apparently has been corrected in the new F707 model. The 5 megapixels that the F707 sports is almost overkill. The F505 will be my last camera (until the infrared camera that can see through clothing hits the market).
Rating: Summary: waiting for adaptors Review: Although this camera is at the top of my wish list (digital camera wise), I will not shell out a dime until Sony choses to except the standard provided by compact flash. Today, a 128mb compact flash costs $39 (512mb is in the $250 range) with the Smartcards only slightly more. Sony is now promoting a "drastic" price reduction on their cards.......$130 for a 128mb. I beleive I'll wait and see what happens. My would-be rating of 5 stars is knocked down to 3 due to the previous fact.
Rating: Summary: Satisfying & Rewarding Review: I've been in photography for over 20 years and was waiting for the right time to enter into digital format. Now after reading many articles and hearing opinons on the success of digital imaging I took a chance. And what luck to choose the Sony DSC F707 cybershot. I am fascinated, overwelmed and most of all extremely pleased. It does require the most up-to-date computer platform along with quality printer and premium paper to really show its true abilities. I'm hooked now and its only the begining of my digital growth.
Rating: Summary: Outstanding Camera. Review: The pictures that come out of this camera are of superb clarity. Easy to use. Great for recording small MPEG clips to email to family and friends. Get the custom leather case to venture out of the house with this camera.
Rating: Summary: Excellent pictures, cheap feel Review: The image quality of the F707 is amazing. In this respect, the F707 exceeds low-end SLRs like the Olympus E-10, and is only matched by digital cameras costing over $3000. My only criticism is that the F707 looks and feels more like a digital consumer device than a professional camera. So far, I have been working with a Canon-A1, a traditional film camera. The A1, manufactured over 20 years ago, is a testament to the legendary craftsmanship with which professional film cameras are built. By contrast, Sony designed the F707 like a digital toy. The camera has little girth, and the annoying, obtuse LCD viewfinder makes one yearn for an SLR. When you're holding the F707, you feel like a yuppie with a palm-sized camcorder, not someone well-versed in photography. These are but trifles, though. What matters are the pictures, which the F707 delivers beautifully.
