Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I have two Nikon Coolpix 5700's that are doing the same thing. I took one of them to Andersons in Brisbane yesterday and they are fixing it for free - took one look at it and said - oh yes, the sensor is shot, we will replace that, didnt ask for warranty or purchase dates... I was impressed that was for sure. I will be getting them fixed and sellign them to fund a D80 methinks!

These faulty Sony sensors came to light a year ago, and affected many models from many manufacturers. Many of Sony's smaller sensors are available in either plastic or ceramic packaging, and I think the manufacturing fault affected the plastic ones (e.g. eventually the plastic broke down, exposing the chip to atmosphere). I'm pretty sure that Sony was supplying lots of ceramic replacements to their customers.

You may be able to get it fixed at no charge, but I'm not sure where to start asking. A major camera repairer might be a good start.

This UK page references the original Sony statement, with a list of affected Sony models that includes the 717...

I sold my F707 to buy the D70. The F707 was a sensational camera, the lens was superb. I hope you can get the problem fixed.

I too had the same fault with my 717. I purchased it when living in the UK, but took it to a repairer in Brisbane. It was fixed FOC, approx 14 months outside of the warranty.
