Sony CyberShot DSC-F717 Details

Editors' Comments

The Sony CyberShot DSC-F717 comes equipped with a top-quality Zeiss lens and a 5x optical zoom, both of which set it apart from many of the other 5-megapixel cameras. Its laser-assisted autofocus, night vision capability, and long battery life make the camera very user-friendly, but its weight and size can be impractical for casual users.
