Me and my boyfriend mostly shoot with our 717 and just love it but we are gonna go for Canon 20D because of the whole lense system and all kind of small stuff. Most of the pics are taken on our 717 at http://www.js.smugmug.com but some on our T1 - my boyfriend is a Sony-freak ;) But we will defenitely use our 717 although we got the 20D.

Olympus TCON-17

RockBruise,

Sony makes some nice ones themselves but they can be quite spendy, I went with a cheaper but still good quality alternative from Olympus, the TCON-17 (1.7X Teleconversion). You will need a 58mm to 55mm STEP DOWN ring adapter (very cheap). I checked on B&H they have the TCON-17 for $99.99 you may even find it cheaper elsewhere. The step down ring is usually $10-15.

Thanks, I have looked and that is probably what I will get, I kinda hate that it is black though, I guess it wont really matter.

F717 user here, but probably not for long. Have had mine for 2.75 years and loved it as a introductory camera. I am now stuck with a camera that is going haywire. look for my post just recently as to I believe a bad sensor. grrrrr!

I do like this camera but it is somewhat limited with what I wanted to do and the digital zoom was very noisy in my opinion.

Here's some shots in my deviantart gallery...enjoy and let me know what you think please.

Digital Zoom on any camera has lots of noise and artifacting, it should be avoided at all costs.

I am still shooting mine more then ever
