Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-F505V Digital Camera

Pros: Carl Zeiss Lens, portability, versatility, creative options
Cons: NOT the highest resolution, but megapxels are highly overrated! Picture Gear Software

Not fifteen minutes ago I grabbed this camera, rushed to the banister and took a picture of my black lab from above, chewing on a dog biscuit. The sight amused me, because of late her more sedentary life style has produced a shape, from above, very like...

Pros: Great image quality, Carl Zeiss lens with 5x optical zoom and manual focusing ring
Cons: No viewfinder, poor battery with no way to improve, not enough memory included, too bulky.

I was in my local camera shop a few days ago looking for a small carrying case for my new digital camera (I spend more time in photo and electronics stores than the average Canon representative…), and I was chatting with a friendly salesman about digital...

Pros: Zeiss lens, size and shape, megapixel CCD
Cons: battery life, costly product

The Sony F505V Cybershot is a megapixel camera that delivers great digital photos. It's too bad the camera costs mega bucks. Digital cameras are dropping in price all the time now so it is difficult to justify buying the 505 or the 505V unless it's on a...

Pros: Lens, Fully Automatic, Fantastic Photos
Cons: Battery Life, Supplied Memory

Well to start things off...I knew virtually nothing about digital cameras when I started looking. Then I started examining the Nikon Coolpix 900 series (since I kept hearing great things about it). After looking at it and playing with it in a camera...

Pros: BEAUTIFUL LENS! Photo quality images! Easy to use and good programs included! Videos come out great!
Cons: Not the best for shooting shots back to back. Comes with little memory and no case..

Sony is down right incredible! All I heard about was how good the DSC-F505 was but then listen to this... They made it better! The Dsc-f505v is unbelievable- its an original F505 body with a new CCD chip which takes the old 2.1 mega-pixels and increases...

Pros: 5X optical zoom. Threaded lens barrel. Easy to use overall.
Cons: Poor low-light focusing. Body too small for larger hands. Flimsey feeling battery door.

So I went on Ebay and hocked a couple of my gizmos so I could go out and buy a new gizmo for my upcoming birthday. I decided on the DSC-F505V because it was on sale at Circuit City, and quite frankly, I was tired of shopping around. :)

The...

Pros: Lightweight, Easy, Carl Zeiss, Image Quality, and Design.
Cons: Battery Power, Lack of Compression Choice/New Features, and 2.6 Megapixels.

-Introduction:
I was sick of it all. Walking around with a big bulky Sony Mavica with "okay" quality pictures, and slow disks speeds. It just wasn't cutting it, so I just threw the digital camera away in the trash. Oh well, It's not mine. As a...

Pros: ergonomic design, easy for amateurs, tons of features
Cons: flash too bright, no case, 8mb stick included, expensive

Let me preface this review by saying that I would never spend $900 on a camera, digital or otherwise. I don't have the money for that. My wife and I received this camera as a gift from her parents last Christmas. "An extremely generous gift" you might...

Pros: Lens and beautiful pics
Cons: not a true 3.3 megapixel cam

I had originally bought the Sony DSC-S70 but after a week and a half of use and a little more research I decided to exchange it for the DSC-F505V. Don't get me wrong, the S70 is an excellent camera, I just wanted a little upgrade and a few more features...

Pros: High Performance, Numerous Features, Ease of Use
Cons: -

Digital camera always have some weak points. It cannot capture picture with high resolution and it's always working good in the day time but not at the night time or where the light is dim.

But when I tried this camera, I think it's worth for...

Pros: Excellent image quality, excellent color, battery power "countdown" in minutes, intuitive operation, cool design
Cons: handling takes "getting used to," 8 megabyte memory stick is a "turn-off"

I've been a professional photographer for some thirty years photographing women for the covers of magazines ranging from Playboy to Vogue: my Web site: modelpix.com) but the Sony DSC F505V is my very first digital camera (and I've owned it since...well,...

Pros: Great color response in daylight. Excellent lens quality and zoom factor.
Cons: Sometimes you'll miss having a viewfinder.

The story...
My APS camera broke so I decided to go for a digital camera seeing that I'm usually a horrible shot and super lazy about developing film.

I did some research on the cameras, notable the Canon's and the Sony's and...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

I really liked the design of the DSC-F505, one of my favorite aspects being the rotating lens which swings nearly 180 degrees. I also enjoyed the fact that the tripod mount was placed on the bottom of the lens instead of the camera body, meaning that you...

Pros: Unique design. High quality of image. Expandable memory stick.
Cons: Expensive. Battery life not too long.

The camera has got to be one of the best, if not the best, consumer digital cameras out there on the market today.

It has an intelligent flash, 2.5 inch screen to view images, precise manual focus for up-close images and so on..... I've had...

Pros: Size, Features, Optical Zoom
Cons: Auto focus in low light and flash isn't great when using the zoom. Typical with most auto-focus cameras.

For a long time I loved the ability to scan pictures and edit them or use them in digital documents. From adding myself to family events I wasn't actually at to supporting my graphics art and web page design efforts. The main problem was film, having...
