The gray-and-black Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F707 looks more like a camera mounted on a lens than a lens on a camera. Its good tactile feel, lineup of interesting and even unique features and functions, long battery life, and excellent image quality make the DSC-F707 ($1,000 list) an appealing prosumer digital camera. But it does have a few quirks and engineering oversights that may frustrate sophisticated users.
The DSC-F707 has a top resolution of 2,560 by 1,920 pixels, and it is the only model in our lineup that can shoot in either the normal 4:3 or the 35-mm-like 3:2 aspect ratio. It captures 12-bit color and saves 8-bit JPEGs with two compression levels, uncompressed TIFFs, or GIF animation clips. It can shoot MPEG movie clips and also record audio files with sound. Images are saved to a Sony Memory Stick. Powering the camera is a "smart" lithium ion battery that provides enough juice for over 3 hours of shooting on a single charge
