Through a lens from the past: Sony DSC F707 Preview

Ғылым және технология

To begin a series on early consumer digital cameras, I picked the Sony DSC-F707. How could I not after drooling over it for years at the local CompUSA? It packs a striking design that is very lens-heavy, and may very well be the foundational bridge camera, striking a balance between photographic versatility and all-in-one ease of use. Unfortunately my eBay seller forgot the memory card, so we'll have to wait a few more days before I can start to evaluate this old luxury camera holds up almost 20 years later.

    bought new, still love it and use it a lot. pricey back in the day, but a digicam that's still very usable after 20 years...... well worth it!

    Did you get the Memory Stick eventually? I like Sony's design very much too, especially that line of digital camera

    eBay in the US for sure. Hard for me to say about anywhere else. Sony memory sticks are sadly not that easy/cheap to find.

    There are plenty of these Sony memory sticks available on eBay in the UK, plus the adapter if you need one, they are cheap, and very reliable, I have three Sony DSC digital cameras from the early to mid 2000s and all take Sony Memory Sticks(Duo&Pro). Truly I've had no problem sourcing these on Ebay.

    Ebay will definitely be your best bet. Looks like $20 is about the going rate for an official 128MB Sony memory stick which is what I have.
