Using WAP! Did it work? (Yes it did work. So now I can post from the phone. How cool is that going to be?)
Why I get a Sony
Eight megapixel sensor delivers a clear resolution increase over five megapixel
New RGBE four color CCD delivers more pleasing color balance than DSC-F717 it replaces
Big and very fast seven times optical zoom lens which starts at a wide 28 mm
Excellent mechanically linked zoom ring
Fast operation, very fast startup, auto focus and short shutter release lag
Impressive file write performance (over 2 MB/sec with a good card)
Availability of image parameter adjustment, although not enough latitude
Focus-by-wire manual focus ring works quite well
Major camera controls on exterior of camera
Backlit status LCD
Superb movie recording capability, 640x480 @ 30 fps, but still not MPEG-4
Program AE has "program shift"
Histogram display in live view, record review and playback
RAW file format (although oversized and locks camera while writing)
RAW conversion software has plenty of flexibility but is slow to use
High resolution EVF (can switch to night framing in low light)
Range of accessories increasing
Advanced hot-shoe supports features of HVL-F32X flash unit
Fast camera to computer transfers thanks to USB 2.0
Excellent battery life
