A Sony DSC F717

Nice job with the pix. What blog are you using? You did a nice job with it.

The blog section (like most of the other sections of the site other then the forum) I wrote myself as a learning experience. I change the site a little every day (I'm never happy); I did need some ideas and help with php, so I studied code from an absolete project called "MagnaBlog"...I've come to love php as you can probebly tell from my sig (also a php file :D).

The only downside of the sony cams are the peripherals....not that much choice and quite expensive for a hobby photographer like me.

By peripherals you mean accessories? like lenses and stuff?

My model has a couple of options - I can add either a tele lens or a wide angle... and there's quite a few filters but I don't like those - there's flashes too you can add... I wouldn't know about how expensive - that depends a lot on the location I think...


Yours has a lot more features than mine - better zoom and I love that it swivels...and the manual focus thing is very nice... Can you add lenses to it? I guess not huh? ...well...it's no SLR but hey... it's nice

Your using a F717! Same as me! Are you using any filters or lenses? Those shots are awesome!

Yeah, lenses. There's a wide angel and super-wide and also a tele for the 717 (ranging from 300€ to 1000€)....i want a fish-eye. There is a company that makes fish-eyes for the 717 but it's somewhere in japan, so I'll have to order it from there if i want a good one. Not all thread-size-58mm lenses have the same optical techniques so you're pretty much stuck with what the manufacturer has to offer most of the time.

Another downside of this cam is you can't control the focus manually when you're taking macro images (the ones with the blurry background, focussing on an object up close) (Maybe in the F828 it can (?)) . Other then that i'm pretty happy with it.

No filters, just playing with lighting and cam settings and later optimizing the pics in Photoshop.
