Sony F828

Is this a nice camera?

Is this a nice camera?

In terms of usability and the lens it's a great camera. I considered the 8mp
cameras and in terms of interface/usability my understanding of the reviews is
that the Minolta and the Sony are the best. When it comes to image quality
that's where they suffer. The Olympus 8080 wins there.

Check out dpreview and cnet who do have reviews and comparison on all these
cameras.

8mp's)

points. Note though cnet focuses more on technology than photography)

comparison of 8mp cameras)

Note though that these careas are great at adequate light photography but if
you have the intention of using iso 400 or 800 then they are useful for
"documentation" rather than "aesthetic" purposes because the images then are
"pretty bad". At iso low iso (100) though they're pretty nice.
