Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828

Sony’s top-end Cyber-shot model, the DSC-F828, is an 8.0 megapixel, four color channel (Red + Green + Blue + Emerald) CCD camera with a unique design and a host of professional features (live histogram, multi formats and burst modes, etc.) that brings Sony into the prosumer SLR market. The Sony DSC-F828 is quite an improvement over the previous model, the DSC-F717, which was very much a consumer camera. Priced at just under US $1,000, the DSC-F828 may be a good option for the Sonyphile ready to replace their older Sony digital still camera. Equipped with a 7x optical zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* multi-coated lens with a 7.1-51mm focal range, in addition to a 2/3-inch 8.0 megapixel CCD, the Sony DSC-F828 is poised to make its mark in the professional imaging world.
