Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have two film SLRs that I use when I want to take serious pictures. This is my first digital camera. I wasn't going to buy one until I thought they approached SLR quality.
For the most part this camera takes better pictures than my Canon AE program.
The features are great. You can keep total control of every feature or let the camera do it for you.
Particularly nice is the nightframing shot which lets you set up your shot in infrared and then flash it in normal light.
The hologram mode which paints your subject in a laser graph before shooting to control focus and flash also works flawlessly.
I was worried about picture quality, but at 5 megapixels features remain crisp and clear even when blown up by several degrees.
I'd read online about some color saturation isues, but I've experienced none whatsoever. On full automatic mode the Sony engineers seemed to have programmed the camera to create a true to life portrait. A lot of photophiles like higher saturation, and you can get whatever degree of color saturation, crispness, et al by taking control manually.
The camera is compact and portable. You get about 1 1/2 hours of battery life during daytime use, and about half that if you're using the flash. There's a feature that lets you know to the minute how much battery time you have left.
This looks to have all the features of the 717 without the lensocentric style.
Originally I was not planning on buying the telephoto lens, leaving that kind of work to my SLRs, but after seeing the image quality, fun, and ease of use of this camera, I'm getting it.
Another great feature is that the camera plugs easily into any tv set to review pictures, movies, and even make a slideshow. I was at a family gathering and this feature proved to be a big hit.
As far as I'm concerned, the camera is flawless.
Highly recommended.
