I' bought one of the Sony 5 Megapixel camers, the F707, and I'm very happy with it. In spite of what is said above, don't even think about a digital camera that takes 35 mm lenses unless you 1> Have a lot of those lenes already, 2> Like spending $2000+, and 3> like toteing around a heavier camera (35mm lenses are much bigger and heavier than the actuall digital "film" needs). Anyway, let me say the Sony doesn't quite measure up to my old Olympus OM1, but it they are getting "good enough" for a lot of uses. The Sony has one big plus, a battery that talks to the camera and gives you (to the minute) how much charge is left info. The lens quality is pretty good, I wish it went a little more into wide angle though.
