Bwahaha- New Digital Camera!!

Zane · May 15, 2003

For the past two years, GM-TC has been using a Sony S75 (3.4MP) digital camera. We've LOVED it. All the pictures you see in our reviews have been taken with this camera.

But, the time came that we started to look for a suitable replacement. Something that would bring the best pictures possible to our readers and forum members.

And, we found it. The Sony F717.

The MSRP is close to $1,000, but we found it for about 2/3 of that. It has 5.0MP of resolution, more modes, more options, and nightshot. The focus is clearer with aid from a laser hologram.

So, is it THAT much better? Well, let this picture be your judge. Mind you, this was the first picture i took with this camera after opening up the box this afternoon. :thumb:

This will be our main camera (with some special situations) for all future reviews.

Nice. I just bought a Minolta DiMage S404 today -- 4 MP and a zoom lens. It's my first digital camera so I'm looking to have a little fun with it.

Cool. :thumb:

If you need to get rid of that crappy, old, out-dated camera, you can send it to me.

How much are you selling the old camera for? I would be interested if you are.

Nice picture with the new camera by the way! We will be looking forward to some nice shots of some trucks soon!

Sorry guys, we're keeping the older one for special shots. It takes wide angles much better than the new one.

Nice picture of the flowers there

I thought for sure it was gonna load a pic of a truck or something...

Looks great Mervz,........just wondering why the flower pic.....are you a closet horticulturist, hahaha.

Just jerking your chain, I figured you would give us a close-up of a Corvette lug nuts, or something.

Thanks for all the great pics over the years, come to think of it after you have surfed around all the different car and truck sites I find myself always coming back to all the great topics on this site, Keep up the great work to all involved with GM-TC. :hail: :hail:

I bought my Minolta Dimage 304 a a year and a half ago. it's only 3.3 megapixeels and gives me great photos. The file size on a 5.0 megapixl must be huge when you shoot at the highest resolution. I seldom use the highest resolution on mine because of the storage problem.

I think you got a great camera Zane.
