Never quote 5 to 5. This means, there can be no more better.
I own my 717 for just more than 4 months, and I took about 3000 photo's. Mostly nature, flowers, insects, thus, macro and tele was well used.
Quality is overwelming. I'mm very, very happy with all results.
Problems ?
Yes, as usuall everybody want to use their camera at it limit. It's there we met the faults.
1) no Macro with tele !!!!
2) Macro at 2 cm (± 0.75 inch) from an onject is pure nonsens. There is no more light, or, you find your objective producing shadow !!!
3) Memory, memory !!!
4) Technically the camera is perfect, why can SOny not produce better soft for it. With Epson, you have the possibility using your camera as a kind of web-cam. I really need this. When making pictures of a flower opening at night and closing some hours later, I like obtaining a serie of pictures, taken from the same place, at the same timeintervals. Epson does this. Sony can't as much other firms can't do this. It is very pretty seeing your results on the PC and controlling there your Camera. This is very enterstfull taking pictures of honeybees, butterflys visiting that flower. They do, because there is only standing a camera on a tripod...
Otherwhise, I'm very, very happy with that camera.
