Hi, Andi: Thanks for your comments on the P series of Sony P&S camera. I see that the photo I am commenting on was taken with the Sony P717. I, too, have this camera and I find it excellent so far. When I read the pros and cons regarding the 717 I get confused...some revel in its pictorial output, others do not. However, I like your shot with the 717 and since I have similar shots with mine, I have to comment favorably on your photos. Nice shot. Bob
