Pros: Everything you could ask for in a camera, digital or otherwise.
Cons: Not as easy as it looks.

If you want professional looking pictures then the Sony CyberShot DSC-F828 is the digital camera for you. I don't think there are many that compare without going to an SLR camera. Recently my husband upgraded to the Sony F828 camera purely by ...

Pros: Best handling, impressive speed, high pictures quality, accurate color.
Cons: Need Smaller aperture, faster shutter speed. potential CA/PF. Small CCD.

01_08_04 This is my fourth digital camera (1. Ricoh point-n-shoot, 2. Olympus point-n-shoot, 3. Sony DSC-D700). I also shoot Contax 35mm and Mamiya TLR medium format gear. I've got professional tastes with a "serious amateur" budget. For the most ...

Pros: solid materials and construction, easily available and comprehensive professional controls, powerful and variable flash
Cons: fatally flawed focussing system, image degradation at ISOs above 100 and shutter speeds above 200

The enigmatic Sony DSC-F828 has great, but unfulfilled potential. It is tank solid and well-designed, with easily accessible controls, and all the features a pro shooter would want, but it shoots poor pictures. Major Features. The new "Black Angel" ...

Pros: Image Quality (wow), myriad settings for pro quality shooting, Sony quality, CF/MicroDrive option
Cons: Price (worth it), thick user manual, alot to learn to fully use all features.

(SECOND UPDATE) I have taken over 2500 digital pictures in the last 3 months and most of them are quite excellent. THE NAYSAYERS ARE MAKING A HUGE DEAL about Chromatic Aberrations...all digital cameras have CA, some better and some worse. Any pic with ...

Pros: It combines the best of D-SLR and Advanced Digital Cameras.
Cons: It takes a little study time to fully understand all the advanced features.

This is a great camera for me. I mainly use a camera for: outdoor landscape photography, some macro photos, some people shots and occasionally some product photos for clients. I have been using the camera for a few weeks and it meets my needs for these ...

Pros: well built,8 megapixels,dual card slots
Cons: aberations ! Purple/cyan fringe! Erratic focus! No raw software for Mac OS X

I really wanted to love this camera. I'm a professional photographer shooting for major magazines and newspapers around the world.I was looking for something with lots of pixels since my stock photo agents now want images that can go to 50 megs which ...

Pros: Preview picture before shooting. Overall Quality.
Cons: Could be faster proccesing. Sometimes gives a blue tint to pictures.

First let me say that I am not a photography expert. When I bought this camera,....I did not know what aperture was. I had always just used the automatic features on my digital Olypmpus cameras. However,....I recently discovered that 4 Megapixals did ...

Pros: GREAT Lens Excellent auto focus Solid construction Excellent video Easy to use Smart ZOOM
Cons: Higher than average noise over ISO 200 No black and white setting

I have seen the reports of purple fringing and noise. Here is what I've found. At high ISO settings (above 200) there is a lot of noise (big surprise). I usually use the program mode and keep the ISO at 64 to 100 and my photos look great. I have not ...

Pros: Quick start, long battery life, excellent images, great lens, CF card, RAW images....
Cons: ?? Not many as yet, fiddly cable cover, getting accustomed to lens buttons

I ventured into Digital 4 years back with a Sony DSC85 - have taken some great images with that camera which print beautifully on my Epson 1290. The F717 didnt really seem worth the step up, but the F828 more than fulfils my expectations. At NZ$1600, ...

Pros: Perfect next step on this design. Great enhancements, including CFII drive.
Cons: Some things (flash) still highly proprietary, but workarounds available.

An upgrade from my DSC-F707 (h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _278293941892). My uses: product images, public events (inside and out), local/regional advertising pix. Meaning, jpeg or tiff. Raw, though available on ...

Pros: Amazing photo quality, good range of settings
Cons: The size.

I have had this camera since March 2004. It was my second camera, and it has been an excellent choice for me. The optics are Carl Zeiss, proving to provide amazing color reproduction. I have had this camera in the cold of the far north of Canada, the ...

Pros: Movie mode works great! Love the rotating body and long focal length. Good weight.
Cons: Does not perform as expected. Slow capture speeds. Weird display when pointed into sunlight.

A semipro 8Meg camera for under $1k. Wow. The 1st out is not always the best. I wanted a 8meg real bad. I did all the research and printed loads of reviews and pictures as soon as they came to the web. Some people were a little skeptical, but still said ...

Pros: Feels like a camera, looks like a camera, Color accurate. reliable. sensible easy
Cons: Slow at highest res. 12 pics.on 512 mb cf. petite buttons.

I bought the F828 about 5 weeks ago , I read the manual 3 times prior to using the camera [ my habit with all products ] I have found the controls easy to get accustomed to, though they are small, even smaller if your hands are big. I own a mini dv. I ...
