The oddly shaped Sony F707 is just as weird and exciting now as it was 22 years ago.

. The L-shaped 5-megapixel camera was sold as a premium all-in-one compact.

Like the F505, the F707 also includes a popup flash above the lens barrel, although the F707 added an automatic flash release. The lens barrel also has revised controls, including adjustments for white balance, metering mode, and switching between automatic and manual focus. Another low-light feature is “Nightframing.” This technology first appeared in Sony camcorders and moves the F707’s infrared-blocking filter out from in front of the image sensor, allowing the camera to use built-in infrared lights to expose a subject in the dark. The results resemble the military-issue night vision goggles featured in television shows and movies.
