Review on Sony DSCF717 5MP Digital Camera: High-resolution Imaging with 5x Optical Zoom by Bruce Cavett

As a gardener I love documenting what is growing at different times of the year, from small buds to flowers, bushes and trees. For me, this camera is an easy-to-use workhorse. Because of the spinning body, I no longer have to kneel in the mud to take close-up shots of a snowdrop as it emerges in spring. I can hold the camera above my head and photograph a flower that's bigger than I grew up. The 5mg image size is perfect for the documentation I'm looking for in this context. It's easy to use, no fuss. , no frills. There have been many cameras to choose from since I bought my original DSC F707, but when I made a terrible mistake and left it on my garden bench in the rain for days, I was lost without it. My other cameras just weren't up to the job. So I bought a newer DSC F717, although it's no longer made by Sony. That's how much I like the style and simplicity of the camera.
