- I am selling my Sony digital camera in excellent working condition. If interested, email me offlist and I will bring it to the Xmas party. Bernie Sony DSC-F717 was $800 at Best Buy Optics and Resolution The Sony DSC-F717 features a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar lens with 5x optical and2x digital zoom (for a 10x total), an f2.0 maximum aperture, and a focal range of 9.7-48.5mm (equivalent to 38-190mm). It contains a 5-megapixel (effective) Super HAD CCD, or 5.2 million gross pixels. More Features The DSC-F717 uses Sony's NightShot technology, the same feature seen on Sony's camcorders, which uses infrared illumination and an infrared filter totake photos in complete darkness. The NightFraming system provides infraredlight as a composition assist, and utilizes hologram autofocusing andpreflash exposure metering for consistently great shots, even in low- or no-light conditions. Picture quality is enhanced with clear-color noise reduction, which reduces color noise, and slow-shutter noise reduction, which captures and subtracts CCD noise from long exposures. Other features include: Swivel lens to capture photos in even the most challenging situations Eye-level through-the-lens (TTL) 180 KB pixel LCD viewfinder and 1.8-inch, 123 KB pixel LCD display Through-the-lens (TTL) preflash metering and red-eye reduction, hot shoe and Acc terminal for HVL-F1000 Twilight, portrait, and landscape scene autoexposure Multipattern measuring exposure system 46-step shutter priority (30 sec to 1/1,000 sec) 13-step aperture priority (f2.0 to f8.0) Full manual exposure High-speed scan autofocus Manual focus ring with LCD magnifier Movie Mode In movie mode, the DSC-F717 produces color digital videos in multiple creative formats, including 320 x 240 (high quality), 320 x 240 (normal), and160 x 112. You can fill up the Memory Stick with digital video, even with the new high-quality mode (which was limited to 15 seconds on the DSC-F707). Another movie like feature is called Clip Motion, which will take 10 images and put them into an animated GIF. Storage and Transfer Images are stored on Memory Sticks, Sony's proprietary memory card format. The included 32 MB stick holds approximately 23 images at the camera's standard 5-megapixel setting (2,560 x 1,920 pixels). Memory Sticks are reusable, but if you tend to take more than 23 images per outing, then you'llwant a bigger card. A 128 MB stick is a great size for this camera, storing around 70 images. Power, Size, and Content The DSC-F717 uses a proprietary rechargeable InfoLithium battery (model FM50), which should provide 3.5 hours of use per charge (Sony estimate). The camera measures 4.75 by 2.75 by 6 inches and weighs 24 ounces with battery and Memory Stick. **************************************** Our WebPage!
