Default Sony F717 NightShot without tripod

Hi to all Sony F717 owners. I've a question to ask you guys.

Have u guys tried using the F717 without tripod (in both daylight and night conditions without flash)? Are you able to take pictures without the images coming out blur?

Thanks.

Daylight? *cough cough*

At night, nightshot works well.

Anthony - I found the F717 to have a pretty good tolerance for hand-held long exposure shots.

For example :

[hand-held, 1/30 sec, f/2.2]

[hand-held, 1/5 sec, f/2.8]

cheers,

I did some experiments last night. For me, using the F717, I can hand hold a shot for as long as 1/5 second. The photo gets a bit blurry at 1/4 second and noticeably blurry at 1/2 second.

Here's an example :

[hand-held, 1/4 secs, f/2]

cheers,
