Never seen this Sony model before, I'm assuming it was not sold or over marketed in the UK. This one is a fine example it's in absolutely MINT condition and came with everything that was with it when new around 16 years ago. It has some amazing features that even modern cameras don't have, such as night mode that enables you to take pictures in complete darkness and is brilliant for Astral photography for all the star gazers. So all in all very happy with my purchase.

Introduced in 2002 the F717 was one of the first cameras to hit the magic 5 mega pixel mark, was packed with a lot of features and came with a heavy price tag. Now 10 years later this camera is still sort after and loved by thousands of owners. I am a total amateur photographer and I love the F717 simply because it takes great photographs. There are 2 reasons for this; firstly the F717 is a bridge camera so you can easily hold it at different heights and angles whilst shooting. This makes the camera very comfortable to use and tends to make you concentrate more on the composition of what you see in the LCD. Secondly the great Carl Zeiss lens which easily compensates for the lack of pixels. I use a cheap printer and standard A4 paper and have no complaints over the density or colour of my photos. Just leave it on automatic and shoot. There is one feature that deserves special mention that is the night vision on this model. This works and produces some interesting photos, plus a lot of fun in total darkness. Across the internet are many personal reviews praising this camera, the one that impressed me the most was written by a professional photographer. He had happily used his Sony for many years, but started to feel uneasy about having such an old camera. So he upgraded to a top of the range Nikon. Now some 4 years later he still finds himself putting down the Nikon and using the Sony on professional shoots. I think that says it all.Read full review

Bought one again after my original one was stolen, super lens with macro down to 2cm focus for terrific close ups. Nothing to dislike but remember these bridge cameras are only suitable for still subjects the write time and shutter lag are too slow for moving objects pick a SLR instead.finally don`t be fooled by 5mp this is more than enough for superb A4 prints, skin tones and colour rendering are excellent(reds tend to saturate a little) results pin sharp straight out of the camera.The body swivelling from the lens is very handy. Don`t buy one unless the CCD has been replaced by Sony they had a fault in nearly all of the cameras supplied to the UK the camera would not take an image a black screen was quite usual,they did repair them free even out of warranty.
