Hey i don't know too much about cameras but im gettn this camera fer free so i jus wanted to know if it was ok. I'm not into photography but i wanted a camera to take some pictures of wakeboarding and dirtbikin. It's the Sony Cyber-Shot Pro DSC-F717. _________________ "Live today you could die tomorrow" |

youre getting that for free... DO you know this camera sells for a good 400-500$ USED? This can give you an idea of how good it is... Well, anything is good for free... Byt anyhow, I think my SRT-101 and Canon AE-1 that I got for free are better, but that is only to my eye _________________ Now even tough I know there's NO one in here that lives anywhere near Montréal, if you ever feel like riding, just pm/e-mail/msn/whatever else me |

a very nice camera, but im still a firm believer in the SLR cam's. such as this Canon EOS-10D. it's a digital SLR, the best of both worlds. _________________ www.flukdfilms.cjb.net

The fact that your getting it for free is awesome. I'm sure you'll find it will be adequate for your needs, especially since you arent a photographer so you wouldnt need to go out and bust your wallet on something that you probably dont need. _________________ "I knew those girls were pros, but don't tell Turtle, it'll break his heart." - Drama, Entourage |

That is an excellent camera!! Check out DPREVIEW.com. I have one just like it. SLR's aren't for everyone. |

I say excellent but for for sports you really have to time your shots as with most digital cameras. The camera is capable though. Here are a few shots from when i first got this camera. |

Nice photos bigmac (except the snake one) I hate snakes!!! It would have been better to get a photo of the snake when a load of 4's from a 3" magnum 12 Ga hit it square.... |

I have the older model DSC-F707 and its great for scenery pictures and it will record video for as long as you want or the memory card will allow. Only thing I do not like is its size. FYI I bought mine new for $999.00 so your getting a hell of a deal. |
