Just read the Sony Forum on there and you'll find tons of threads talking about samples, usually with links to the samples. I haven't read the forums in a few weeks so I can't point you to current good threads. That said, I have a DSC-F717, new, in box that I'll sell for $550 plus shipping if anyone is looking for one. I bought a DSC-F717 a year ago with an extended Sears warranty. It was one of the first models with the low light autofocus bug. When I bought the *ist D I took the DSC-F717 back to Sears to trade it for one without the bug. I haven't opened the box of that one. There is still about a year left on the extended warranty too. The DSC-F717 is a great camera, but I don't think that I'll use it much now that I have the *ist D. I think it is about the best non-DSLR out there though. alex
