'I strongly believe that in the areas of power options, lens capabilities and general good looks, it will be pretty hard to one-up this particular gizmo.'
'In spite of its compact dimensions and shape,front allow you to hold the camera securely enough.'
'There is also the Video Mail option--160 x 112 at 8.3fps--which is adequate for its intended purpose of email but the video is too jumpy and low in quality to use for anything else.'
'Cons: Image quality more in line with a 5MP camera with some exposure problems, slow recycle times.'
'Its overall dimensions are 3.625 x 2.375 x 0.8 inches, for a total cubic volume of approx. 6.9 inches –about the size of a credit card.'
'Like most cameras, the T1 doesn't amplify the brightness
of the screen in low light.'
'The first is design-related: The camera is so thin that it won't stand securely on its bottom edge, which means that it will spend most of its time resting either on its front or on its back.'
'the DSC-F717 is an excellent, all-around camera.'
'this camera's sheer size and 1.5-pound weight hurt its ergonomics a bit'
'It's neither compact nor light, and it takes two hands to operate comfortably,'
'Armed with high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, ISO sensitivities of 100/200/400/800 and shutter speeds of up to 1/2000 second in auto mode, the DSC-F717 produces stellar results, even in the most demanding of shooting situations'
