F707 beats F717

bjmacc · Nov 25, 2002

There's no arguement and we don't have to abide by any heresy...

dpreview has a great review (upper left under reviews) for the 717 and comparison pics of the 707 and 717....decide for yourselves

when at the review scroll down to comparisons...

the first page the 707 looks pretty good..a little brighter but both are close
on the second page scroll down to the ruler and the reds...

if that 707 red doesn't look like woody woodpeckers head , then i'm donald duck!

while your at it...read the dprview slant at the bottom of each page...

'course...it's personal preference

Teresa,

Apologies. I dropped attention to this thread, until someone pointed it out this evening. Yep, I live between Ashland and Richmond, VA. I hope said lady won't mind the mostly-anonymous post. This was the best red/green blow-out example I could swiftly find. She'll certainly recognize my name...

I don't miss the exaggerated reds and greens (example sized down,
but no other post-processing)...

Last week I took 51 photos with F707 and 51 photos with F717. All
handheld . I showed these sets to 5 friends or co-workers without
identifying which is which. No manipulation, just straight from the
cameras.
Guess what? All 5 chose the F707 and I agree. It's not scientific,
I know,
but the F707 just has more "eye appeal'. Obviously it is not as
advanced as the F717. Look at the photos on Photosig or Pbase. Do
you see any shot with the F717 that couldn't be shot with the F707.
I too wanted to love my F717, but it just didn't happen. Let me be
the first to ADMIT that I'm going to sell the F717 and continue to
enjoy my F707.
Anyone agree??????

Yes,
I know at least four people who made the same decision. Hm, very
interesting........

Small world. Throw a rock toward New Ashcake Road (AC, in specific) and you might hit my house. I suspect you'll recognize some of my terrain as well. I am strictly amateur, but having a ball. Still under construction, but here's my gallery...
