Sony Cybershot DSC-F717 Camera Important Info

I have had three of these cameras since 2001. The first was stolen when I was mugged on the steps of the St. Deny Basilica in Paris. I had already fallen in love with the camera by then. When we returned home, I was blown away with the clarity of the photographs which I’d uploaded to a laptop, fortunately, before the camera was stolen. I only use the optical zoom on this camera and I was particularly impressed with the focus that allowed me to zoom into and blow up a small portion of photos I’d already taken with the zoom lens at its maximum length. I also like the feel of the camera. I know that many people rave about pocket-size cameras, but I’m used to a larger SLR and like the heft of this camera. This past spring as we set out on a two month vacation in Spain and Ireland, my F707 failed me. The card reader stopped working and I had to fall back on a pocket-size Nikon. While it did a credible job, I could definitely see the difference in focus and clarity of the photos that came from it as compared to my Sony F707. When we returned to the states, I inquired about having the Sony repaired and found that it was less expensive to purchase a used F707 than to have mine fixed. That’s what I did and I’m now a happy camper again. I love this camera and felt lost without it. I know there are improvements coming down the line, but I’ll wait until I can get the same performance in a new camera that I get from this one. The only features I miss from this camera are a better low light capability and a larger memory capacity.

The cybershot dsc-wx1 camera is one of the best featured camaras on the market and for good reason. You can purchase this great camera for just $329 today but before you do check out just one of the great features for the Sony dsc-wx1, Sweep Panorama.

Ordinary cameras seldom capture the full impact of breathtaking landscapes, city scenes and tall buildings. Even if you’ve got a wide angle lens, it’s hard to squeeze everything into the frame and do the scene justice.

To pack more into the picture, photographers traditionally use the trick of shooting several frames, shifting the camera’s position to capture different parts of the scene. These shots are combined to create one extra-large image. However it’s a fiddly manual process that demands skill and patience to stitch frames together without obvious joins.

Now there’s a fun, easy way to create seamless, ultra-wide pictures with a huge field of view of up to 224 degrees. Even at the lowest horizontal panoramic setting you’ll get a field of view of 108 degrees: that’s equivalent to a wide angle lens with a focal length of just 14mm.

Sweep Panorama takes the hard work out of creating fabulous panoramic shots. And best of all, you don’t need a PC or special software: Sony Cybershot DSC-F717 Camera everything’s done for you inside the camera.

Exclusive to Sony, Sweep Panorama is featured on the Cyber-shot™ WX1, TX1 and HX1. They’re the world’s first compact cameras that automatically capture and combine a high-speed burst of full-resolution images.

Just press the shutter button and sweep the camera from left to right across your scene. It also works vertically, letting you sweep the camera up and down to capture tall buildings in a single, dramatic image. The ultra-fast EXMOR CMOS sensor inside the camera shoots a rapid burst of frames at a speed that many sophisticated SLR cameras can’t match. Frames are then stitched together automatically inside the camera: the whole process takes just three seconds.

Standard Wide mode captures dramatic panoramic shots with detail-packed 4912 x 1080 pixel resolution (40:9 ratio). If you want an even bigger field of view, choose Ultra-wide mode and capture amazing 60:9 images with 7152 x 1080 pixels. You can also hold the camera vertically (in portrait position) and shoot extra-tall panoramas in standard (16:9) or ultra-wide (32:9) modes.
