I received a camera with a defective CCD unit and Sony is charging around $150 to fix it. As soon as I turned on the camera, there was no image on the LCD screen and in the viewfinder, except for graphics, I found that the CCD was defective. It is the entire YouTube of this version. The camera was in perfect condition. I had no choice but to order a new CCD from Europe which will take weeks to ship and I will try to fix it myself ($35). Too bad. However, as the camera was in perfect condition…

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • Sad device

5 megapixels and ease of use

I spent a lot of time with my 3.2 megapixel Olympus and found it a good camera. That's how it was until I bought the Sony F717. Good things. Long battery life with quite fast charging. Precise autofocus, even at macro settings. The controls/menus are obvious, you don't even need a manual to understand most of it. fast cycling. great for reading the lens or screen and framing, a focus ring that feels like the thing is on a real camera. intuitive layout of controls, after playing with it for 15…

Pros
  • Normal price
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Mysterious fog envelops again

I wrote a review of this device back in August 2004 and gave it quite a few stars, but I found it necessary to change my rating and increase the review update after i was just read a review by martin valk. After a little over two years of use, the same mysterious mist suddenly appeared in my photos. This problem quickly escalated to completely deleting my photos in a few minutes. At first I thought the problem was a fogged up lens, then a flash. But after a few shots I just lost hope. The LCD…

Pros
  • Don't waste time
Cons
  • All is not right
