Rating: Summary: Impressive Review: The previous reviewers had 4mb memory sticks with their DSC-F505's, but I have 8mb? This dig.camera is great! I have taken over 1000 pictures with this camera and all of them rivals the conventional photos. USB interface with this camera is also impressive. In long trips you gotta have a laptop or a couple or more 64mb memory sticks coz it's hard not to take any pictures with this thing.The DSC-F505 is also user friendly and the manual is easy to understand. The sleek style also attract a lot of attention. My only complaint is that it has no optical vievfinder.

Rating: Summary: Needs Optical Viewfinder Review: This camera has lots of really nice features and is easy to use. Unfortunately it does not have an optical viewfinder. This makes it impossible to compose a picture in low light conditions and in certain angles (to the sun) outside. This gets especially bad if you wear polarized sunglasses outside (which black out the LCD display at certain angles). The 4mb memory card that comes with it is a joke. I purchased a 64mb card that works very well. With the exception of not having an optical viewfinder, it is a great camera.
Rating: Summary: Best Image Quality Review: This is the best camera out there with one of the highest image definition. The only little drawback is the lack of a view finder. Add a Sony PC where you can plug the 64M memory sticks directly and a Sony color printer, you won't think of using regular films again. As usual, we dreamt about it and Sony did it.
Rating: Summary: A digital camera with all the right features Review: This is the camera that finally convinced me digital photography was mature enough to use on a regular basis. It has all the right bells and whistles: 1600x1200 max resolution @ 2.1 megapixels, a nice Zeiss zoom lens, UDB port connection to offload images. The included memory stick is a little small but Sony sells memory sticks as large as 64 meg, which will hold 110 images at the camera's best quality, and 200+ images at "average" quality. A couple of memory sticks and an extra battery make a good kit to travel with. I recently spent a week in Paris and London and took 700 pictures, offloading them each night to a laptop. I was thoroughly impressed with the way the camera works and the photos it produced.
Rating: Summary: Still one of the very best. Review: We have used this at our design firm for three years, and it has been flawless. Amazing pictures, great features, excellent usability in terms of downloading from the memory stick. The tilt feature is very useful for shooting low or when you have to shoot over the top of someone's head (great for those auto show pictures when that guy just won't move out of the way!)I've used it at home as well with my Mac, and the downloading is just as simple. Just plug the USB cable in and there you go. Recently we decided to get a "new" camera for home, and purchased one of the new sony digital cameras, the P71. It is rated at a much higher megapixel, but immediately I noticed the pictures were nowhere near as good as with the trusty f505. We took it back right away and came here to buy a used f505. Don't be fooled by "megapixels", you can have a ton but if they are all shot through a tiny lens, the pictures just can't be that good. The size of the lens on the dsc-f505 is huge, and it really shows in the photos. An excellent camera.
