The best camera I've ever owned!, April 22, 2006
Reviewer: Hye Chong Yi "A wannabe pro!"
I just love this camera. I'm a novice and love how this camera takes
photos. It makes me feel like a pro. Shopping for a nice digital camera
with all the bells and whistles, this is the one to go with. I think this
camera gives me room to grow. That's what I wanted. I would highly
recommend this camera!

Noisy Noisy Noisy, very dissapointed in image quality, February 6, 2006

This Cam was huge let down,
Noisy Noisy Noisy, very dissapointed in image quality:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscf828/page14.asp
Just look up this cam and you will find the info about its noise factor.
The optical chip set is from 2003 technology and it shows.
I spent hours fixing the images from my trip to the southwest. Forget
capturing green, btw.
This Cam has many options but what pro would want to fool with them when
the Cam itself introdces tons of noise.
When First getting this Cam and after seeing the dissapointing results of
most of the the photos I took I descided to see if it was my lack of pro
experience that my picts where noisy. I mean I've talken picts for years
for great results with a decade older cam, so I was expecting really nice
picts from this, this was not case.
Read up on this one before you spend 700$ on 2003 technology.

Best Camera I have owned so far, January 23, 2006(Baltimore, MD) -
See all my reviews
Im a photographer by trade and this camera is my work horse, I have been
using it for about 2 years now and it always impresses me with how good a
picture it can take. It does have a draw back and that is the lens being
fixed to the camera, I find myself wishing it could zoom further then
200mm but I have to say its 28mm sure comes in handy for those wide
angles. Just yesterday I had a family portrait to do and there were 14
people crowded into my temporary 10x12 studio and shooting the 12' length
of the room I was easily able to photograph everyone. I love this camera,
its balance is superb..its light weight and easy to use once you memorize
all the buttons.

The best camera I've owned, January 13, 2006
Reviewer: C. L. Rankin
I started out with a Sony Mavica years ago and now have this F828. I'm not
a professional photographer, but a constant one. This camera allows me to
take great photos of fireworks, holiday light displays, wild critters at
night, pets, landscapes, people, sporting events. You name it and the
camera can capture it. I love the multi-burst feature, which none of my
previous cameras had. The quality of the photos is outstanding for
printing, too. My only negative, and it's a small one, is that this camera
is heavy to carry when on an all-day outing. I know it only weighs a bit
over 2 pounds, but after several hours it seems more like 6 pounds.

Super Camera, November 7, 2005
Reviewer: Jay Byrd
I owned the 717 model (5.1 mp) and thought it was pretty good. I have used
many types of cameras over the years doing weddings, portraiture, etc. My
favorite portrait camera was the Bronica ETRS which is a big, heavy
medium-format film camera. A few weeks ago I did a photo shoot for a bride
using both cameras to compare results. As I suspected the Sony produced
quality just as good up to the 8x10 size. I didn't try anything larger at
the time, but I am told the 717 will produce a good 16x20 print.
I saw the 828 advertised and decided to read up on it. I liked what I read
and since the 717 did so well I decided to move up a notch and get the
828. It was love at first click. Now I can make even larger prints if I
need them, but with 8 mp I get beautifully detailed prints with
magnificent color and depth. It also uses the same battery and storage
media. Having done semi-professional work in the past, I highly recommend
it for the money. The "point and shoot" aspects of the technology make it
easy to operate for the beginner and, if you want fancy, it has the
horsepower to get you there, too.

Great camera!, September 20, 2005
Reviewer: D. Swartz
A little on the heavy side but the infrared mode is really neat.
