OT -Photography stuff

[amalventano1 at tds.net (Allyn)]

for sony, i recommend the 717 model over the 828 model. yes its not as many 
pixels, but the 828 has some color skewing and purple fringing issues. sony 
has released a firmware update, but it did not address either of these 
issues. im usually die hard must have newest sony cam, but i have held off 
on the 828, sticking with my 717. also, you can get the 717 for pretty cheap 
since those who arent aware of the issues are getting the 828 and selling 
off their old 717s.
