Sony DSC-F828 Digital CameraThe Sony DSCF-828 is a very Powerful 8.0 Megapixel Digital Camera. Featuring the Carl Zeiss 7x optical zoom lens your pictures come out with stunning clarity and detail. The Sony DSC-F828 Digital Camera has received several excellent reviews:The Cybershot DSC-F828 was announced on 15th August, this new camera is very
obviously a development of the DSC-F717 design. Just under a year since the F717
and Sony's flagship prosumer digital camera has certainly undergone a large
number of changes, not least of which is the switch from the electronically
zoomed five times lens of the F707/F717 to an all new mechanical zoom seven
times lens with Carl Zeiss T* coating and a wide angle 28 mm equiv. capability.
Sony has also chosen to go with their latest sensor, the all new eight megapixel
four-color (RGBE) 2/3" type (8.8 x 6.6 mm) CCD. Ignoring all other changes this
makes a formidable combination, a high quality mechanically linked zoom lens
combined with the resolution of an eight megapixel CCD. This camera is arguably
the most important prosumer digital camera this year. dpreview.com Just when everyone was getting comfortable with 5 Megapixel cameras, Sony has made a huge jump -- releasing the first consumer-level camera with an 8 Megapixel CCD -- the Cyber-shot DSC-F828 ($999). This CCD isn't special just for the resolution, though. It's also the first camera to use a new 4-color filter. This new filter adds an "emerald" filter to the RGB filters normally found in a CCD. Sony says this will produce photos with much more accurate color. To transform the 4-color data into the 3-color data that your software expects, Sony has created a new "Real Imaging Processor", which has the convenient side effect of increasing both performance and battery life. Another big feature of the F828 is its F2.0-2.8, 7X Carl Zeiss T* lens -- a nice upgrade from the 5X lens on the DSC-F717. It's also the first Sony camera with a CompactFlash slot -- never thought I'd see the day! dcresource.com Advantage Price: Error: Data not available (103) |
