This was the Sony f707 i had for two weeks (15th oct till yesterday).
Here it is lens swivelled vertically up.
The fact at night it looked like i was pulling out a gun was perhaps not sensible in london.
Having said that its Zeiss f2-2.4 38-190mm, 2cm macro, handling and liveview were excellent.

Video showing how lcd changes when shutter, aperture are changed.
Rather useful to get exposure just as wanted.
Max shutter of only 1/1000.
I would recommend the later f717 as it has manual zoom and can take memory bigger than 128mb.
F707 takes max 128mb and only original sony memory stick (not magic gate, not m2 with adapter).
