The F717 would be a logical replacement for the 505. It has the
same size sensor as the F828, but is only 5MP.. VERY low noise,
and exceptional detail. My only criticism of the F717 is its color
response, which is relatively flat. It has a difficult time capturing
subtle color differences in certain kinds of light, particularly in
outdoor overcast/cloudy conditions. But in most cases images
can be fixed with a little post processing, to bump up the contrast.
