I never did buy that radio controlled helium blimp. Maybe that's a good thing, because it pales in comparison to this.  11:28:06 PM     Add a comment

Things I like about the DSC-F707:

Fantasic image quality & very low noise
Substantial heft. It feels like a 'real' camera.
Shooting through the viewfinder is actually practical. I can turn of the LCD!
Fantasic lens. Very responsive, and it can let in a lot of light.
I can turn off the automatic features, and have full control of the aperture, shutter speed, and focus.

What I don't like:

The zoom rocker sucks the big one. Not only are the controls reversed from most other cameras, it is also very hard to manipulate when you are holding the camera vertically.  11:06:21 PM     Add a comment
