Sony's DSC-F828 Cyber-shot Camera 8 megapixels for $999
I was thinking of purchasing the Sony DSC-F717 for $699.00, but I came
across this preorder special for the DSC-F828 at Get a LifeStyle, preorder price is $999.00: http://www.getalifestyle.org/modules...icle&sid= 260 The DSC-F717 is a great camera, but from what I read about the DSC-F828, with 8.0 MP and microdrive storage and RAW image format, how can you go wrong? |

Careful - You'll need to spend at least $100 more the moment you buy it. You'll need another InfoLithium battery. Bigger memory sticks than the paltry 16mb thing that comes with the camera and if you want to charge the batteries outside the camera, add around $60 for that. |

The 828 comes with no memory stick or CF card. I have 2 batteries but find that the batteries are so efficient I have rarely had to change batteries while shooting on the 717 or the 828. Yes they do sell accessory chargers for outside the battery charging. So 1 out of 3 isn't too bad. Help you make the Hall of Fame if you constantly average .333 in baseball. Pretty sloppy though as an average for advice. -- To reply no_ HPMarketing Corp. |

The F828 is almost blind. At 200 ISO it is about as sensitive as the Canon EOS 300D at 125 ISO. But allready at 64 ISO the F828 has more noise in the pictures than the the EOS 300D has at 4-800 ISO. So it is almost 1 stop slower than other cameras, and 3-4 stops more noisy. |

As a huge SOny fan and owner of the S85, F707 and V1, I couldn't wait for the F828 to come out. When I started seeing the results from test F828's it gave me pause. Now the camera is in full release and I still won't buy one. These pictures I'm seeing from F828 are not that great. So why would I spend ANOTHER 1000 for a camera that doesn't shoot much better then the last few models? If you have you heart set on Sony pick up a F707 or F717 and save some money while capturing better pictures. Reading the Sony talk forum one must wonder if some of the posters are delusional. I've learned a lot over there and from Phil Askey, but I now question their judgement since the F828 came out. Read Phil's summery on the F828 review. It's like he's giving out a recommend as a gift based on emotion. I would love to own a F828 IF Sony can FIX it. -- Like a game of pick up stick played by ****ing lunatics |

It seems much faster then my 717 or any of the Coolpix models I had from the 950 to the 5700. -- To reply no_ HPMarketing Corp. |
