actually i myself dunno what requirements i want bcos i m a camera idiot, i know nothing about it about the speed, exposure n etc. the best i want is to have a good camera without bringing the hassel of accessories like filters and etc. just a convenient one will do. Any recommendations? thx

Hey, ur pics are very sharp n nice!!! I want something like that. What is your brand and model of your camera? Btw, if possible, i just a camera which is convenient to carry ard, i m a camera idiot, dun even know the changing of lens, n filters etc. thanks.
Pls do not be misled in thinking you can take those kind of shots just by buying the camera. It is really the photographer's credit. Azone was just showing what can be achieved with the camera and his skills and not what the camera can achieve by pressing the shutter. Pls think twice. If you are not sure abt the shutter speed, aperture, etc... I think u shld read up more first. You will end up feeling frustrated if you can't handle your camera well. If you need one to practise first, maybe u shld consider settle for somehting cheaper.
Just my 2 cents worth.

However, any reason why 717?
The main thing that appeals to me is the image quality. Have you seen the samples over at dpreview? They look very sharp to me. Maybe it's because of the Carl Zeiss lens. But, in comparison, the images of the 602Z don't seem to be able to reach that level of clarity. Not that I'm complaining about the 602z, but I'm just quite tempted to upgrade :embrass:
And of course, there's also the f2.0 lens, night-framing, AF hologram, etc.
i totally agree with falcon, i bought s602 and i tot i can do something like what i did using sony dsc p2, however the results end up disappointing. u must know ur camera very well, understand what it can do for u, in order to get the best result...
btw, if u really not interested in learning photography, just purely point n shoot, i guess sony dsc series also not a bad suggestion? ;p

Yes, falcon is absolutely right. Hope i've not misguide Yvisg in his decision. :embrass:
Yvisg, get an entry-level digi cam for a start if you just want a cam that can take daily kind of pics. If you have an intention to go further into learning the fundamentals of photography and if you can afford a little more, maybe you can get a slightly better one which offers manual controls.

Cool! Actually, I'm aware of the capabilities of the 602Z as well. Just that I guess I'm being affected by all the hype over the 717

No offense hor. Just trying to help you save money.
Sure. As a matter of fact, thanks for the advice. Really appreciate it
Actually, forking out $600 bucks to upgrade could possibly be more well-spent on accessories for my 602z
