2002, 0:00 EST: Sony has today announced the DSC-F717, an update to
the popular DSC-F707. The DSC-F717 utilizes the same body design, five
megapixel sensor and excellent five times optical zoom lens. New features
include zoom via the lens ring, hot shoe, record and play histogram, ISO
800, Full Auto exposure, USB 2.0 and more. Thanks to leaks in the far
east this camera is no surprise to many on the Sony Talk Forum. We have
a detailed preview of the new DSC-F717, the only thing we can't bring
you at this pre-production stage are image samples. A full review will
follow soon.
