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!
I had the 717 camera back in the day and love love loved it. It’s a classic.
I paid $6.00 for mine at a swap meet here in Phoenix 2wks ago. and believe it or not, it's was in pristine condition with the flash card still intact.
this camera is 5x optical 10x digital zoom , as I have one right here in front of me :)
Did you get the Memory Stick eventually? I like Sony's design very much too, especially that line of digital camera
Meu sonho essa câmera... Meu amor por fotografia foi quando fotografei a primeira vez com uma câmera dessa
Did you ever get your memory card?
Really like this camera I took it out this morning for. Walk in the woods. Still works great

Wow! I didn't know technology was that advanced back then. What a very unique 📸 that you have. Curious, will it bite me if i tried to pet it?
I was hoping for sample pics
I have the f717 and got it from new!, I’ve really enjoyed it. I’ve bought a card adapter back in the days for a bigger memory.

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.

Traía un memory stick de 256mb si no mal recuerdo, no la tengo a la vista ahora. Yo le compré un adaptador para una de 2GB. Todavía los venden en eBay, no se si Amazon los tendrá.
I have a very important question! Do you know where I could get memory cards for this specific camera?

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.
