## Description

Product Description          Accurately realistic photos are captured using this digital camera that has a 5.0 effective CCD and 5.2 gross pixel count. The included 16MB Memory Stick« media stores your shots that can be easily downloaded using the USB interface. A Carl ZeissM-^Y Vario Sonnar lens with 5x Optical/10x Digital zoom captures the essence of each shot with clarity and precision accuracy. For consistently great shots even in low or no light conditions try using the built-in NightFinderM-^Y system.             .com          Combining point-and-shoot convenience with a host of manual photographic controls, the Sony DSC-F717 can help expand your creative palette for better photographic results. Armed with high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, ISO sensitivities of 100 to 800, and shutter speeds of up to 1/2,000 in auto mode, the DSC-F717 produces stellar results, even in the most demanding shooting situations. The DSC-F717 is an update to Sony's popular DSC-F707, featuring a number of additions and improvements, including a new manual focus and manual zoom ring, hot shoe for external flash units, USB 2.0 support, and improved startup and shot-to-shot speed.Step-up Value Here's a Sony feature that adds value to this digital camera and differentiates it from other models in the Sony lineup. Hologram Autofocus (AF):Projecting a Class 1 laser patter, Hologram AF reads the contrast between the pattern's edge and the subject for precise focus, even in low- or no-light conditions. Optics and Resolution The Sony DSC-F717 features a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar lens with 5x optical and 2x 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 to take photos in complete darkness. The NightFraming system provides infrared light as a composition assist, and utilizes hologram autofocusing and preflash 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), and 160 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 movielike feature is called ClipMotion, 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'll want 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. This package includes the DSC-F717 digital camera, InfoLithium NP-FM50 rechargeable battery, AC adaptor, AV output and USB cables, shoulder strap, lens cap, 32 MB Memory Stick, printed manual, and CD-ROM featuring Pixela ImageMixer and drivers for Windows and Mac.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So long film SLR
*by C***K on February 24, 2004*

After having an old film SLR for years (won't say how many), I resisted going digital. When I finally decided it was time (new baby) I thought I would have to go with a digital SLR. A friend loaned me the DSCF717, and I was relieved to see that the quality was as good as I was used to with film, even on the 8x10+ enlargements we do of baby portraits. The real plus is that my husband is able to use this when set to auto. (He never mastered the controls of our old Nikon.)You can add on lens accessories to expand capabilities, and the price is so far below entry digital SLR's that you can really afford to splurge on those goodies. (Especially extra memory, battery and car charger.)Many reviews mention the awkward size, but I have not found it to be a bother at all. I hardly ever took the zoom off my old camera, so this feels normal to me.

*by P***D on March 5, 2018*

Received camera with a bad CCD unit and Sony wants close to $150 to repair it. Soon as I turned on the camera the LCD screen and view finder have no picture other than graphics, I knew then the CCD was bad. Its all over You-Tube of this issue. Camera was in perfect condition. I had no choice but to order new CCD unit from Europe which will take weeks to receive and I will attempt the repair myself ($35 US dollars). Bummer.HOWEVER since the camera was in perfect condition and it came with a Sony deluxe camera bag, 2 batteries, patch cables, Sony shoulder strap , and original owners manual I am sure I will be pleased when I hopefully repair it.UPDATE: One of the battery packs is also defective, camera has a flashing yellow charge lamp. According to the manual it is defective, it was properly installed and seated. Seems vendor did not check it's functions very well.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Three Stars
*by J***D on February 1, 2015*
