Review summaries for Sony DSC-F828 from expert digital camera reviewers.

the DSC-F828 produces sharp pictures

Also, its tripod screw socket is directly beneath the lens for easier, more accurate panoramas. The DSC-F828's menus are simple, logical, and legible, using clear and unambiguous words and phrases. *

top-end Cyber-shot model, the DSC-F828

Sony DSC-F828 Digital Camera Review:digitalcamerainfo.com

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. The Sony DSC-F828 is quite an improvement over the previous model, the DSC-F717, which was very much a consumer camera. *

minimal shutter delay

However, we were less impressed with the photos of our daylight-balanced, flood-lit still life. It's a small, but helpful advance. *

us fairly accurate exposures"

We managed to obtain about 300 shots under heavy usage before needing a quick recharge"

The marvellous bright lens with a 7x optical range is a strong trump for Sony"

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828:DcResource

Images on the LCD are sharp and bright, and motion is fluid. You choose the resolution of the new image (the old one is kept). The F828 has one of the best movie modes of any camera. The manual focus ring behind the zoom ring is equally nice, though it works electronically. Single AF is just like you're used to: press the shutter release halfway and the camera locks focus.
