Amazing camera, although sales process at Amazon was wonky
Before I relate my tale about buying this camera through Amazon (ultimately, I did not, not for lack of effort on my part) let me detail some of what I think is terrific about this camera. I had a DSC-F717 and that camera took remarkable photos. It was intuitive and pretty (silver!) and the buttons were all in the right places. In short order, I felt like a pro taking pictures with it and the results were really good (if you want, email me and I'll link you to some pictures. The only problem with F717 was it was a little cheap in construction so when it began turning on and off randomly (some problem in the hinge I think) it was time to look for a new camera. Since all my accessories are Sony (from the F717) it was natural to look to Sony for solutions. The F828 was the next level and the changes they made appear stunning. Gone is the silver. It is now a serious textured black. No one who looks at this camera wonders if its a toy. They may wonder if its a weapon of some kind but it feels good in the hand. It balances much better than the F717 and the key layout, although I'm still getting used to it, makes a little more sense. No more using software purely to delete pictures. There's a button for that. Same thing for White Balance. WB is the most important feature I've ever found on a digital camera and very few people use it. I use it before EVERY shot. Before on the F717, I had to look for a button among a nest of buttons. Now, its right on top right near the shutter. Next among cool reasons to like this camera is the holographic AF. This (like the F717) camera prjects a visible grid of laser light to detail the subject being photographed. The focus is tight and pretty. I haven't had a chance to play with depth of field but if its like the F717, it will be a strong suit. It is also very fast. I can now take pictures about as quickly as I hit the shutter. On the F717, it took time. The only negatives so far is that the camera is heavy. It balances well in the hand, but I have to find a way to carry it thats a little more comfortable. It will work out. I bought the bag (which I'll review separately and that I did buy on Amazon) and it fits into it well, but there's no pocket to hold the charger. Ah well, gotta charge at home and carry batteries. Last, I'd like to relate my experience in purchasing the camera. Amazon listed the camera as $454. This was listed in its main price, not through a reseller, auction or Amazon shop. I clicked buy, checked the pricing and hit Submit Order. Surprise! It was a third party reseller named USAPhotonation.com. I got a confirmation that said (pasted) "we're writing to confirm your purchase of the following item from USA Photo Nation: 1 of Sony DSC-F828 8MP Digital Camera with 7x Optical Zoom [Camera](available to ship by 28-October-2004) Amazon Payments has charged your credit card (DELETED) for this purchase, and the funds have been credited to USA Photo Nation." Having checked out resellerratings.com ([...] ) I basically saw that this company seemed to be a bunch of crooks. Out of a rating of 1 to 10 (10 being the best possible) they scored a .64 as rated by 43 people. I wrote Amazon who reassured me. On Amazon there were no ratings. Apparently I was the first time they'd ever been referred business by Amazon. After a flurry of email exchanges between Amazon and myself, a few fired off to USA Photo Nation, which they never bothered to answer and over 2 hours on hold at their customer service number, they informed me that my order was cancelled and I could expect a refund, which I did get. Amazon seemed to wash their hands of it. I got my money back and the next best price on another camera was north of $900 and they weren't going to supply a camera at the price I was confirmed (by them) because, they said, it was the reseller who didn't deliver the product. I, on the other hand, had NO idea I was dealing with a reseller and would never have used that particular reseller after viewing their online ratings. I bought the camera at a Best Buy. I paid over double what Amazon assured me was the price and I'm pleased with my purchase. I'm a little angry at Amazon however. I've done a lot of business with them over the years and I think their relationship with the reseller does not absolve them of their responsibility to provide what they confirm has been purchased. So, for my review, this is a great camera, one that is heavier duty than my F717 and much faster. But if you are thinking about buying it through Amazon, I'd advise caution. Make sure it isn't a reseller or if it is, that they have reasonable rating for delivering on time what they promise. ... show more

Exactly as advertised.
This is a used camera approximately 20 years old. The description was "Mint/Like New", which is unusual for a camera that old. But when it arrived it was, in fact essentially like new. No scuffs or scratches. No wear marks of any kind, even on the base. All features and systems in perfect working condition. And the camera arrived six days ahead of schedule. UPDATE After using the camera for two months, I'm really happy with it. At 8 megapixels, I didn't expect it to produce ultra sharp images. But the quality lens produces excellent images for casual use. But the biggest surprise was the amazing flexibility and features. It actually gives me more control thane either my Nikon Z 6II or Z fc. If you can find one in as good a condition as this one, I think you will find it a fun, flexible and capable camera for casual shooting - and way better than most of the mid-range point-and-shoot cameras on the market. ... show more

Good camera, sneaky Amazon and reseller
This is the end-all, be-all of cameras and when I saw it on Amazon for $454, I jumped on it and purchased other accessories. I got the accessories, and an email saying my order for the camera had been cancelled. It turned out that the order was forwarded to USAPhotoNation, not Amazon. It wasn't a zShops order, it was Amazon's own internal order. After looking more in depth, USAPhotoNation does this. Sells cheap, cancells, gets you to call, and they try to sell you overpriced accessories. Aparently there was some problem with part 2 and they just cancelled the order. Amazon was not willing to work out a deal or compensation regarding the price they promised and for which they accepted money. I did get a full refund on the camera, but I still have the accessories which I wouldn't have purchased in a split order. As for the camera itself, it has a great optical zoom, takes pictures in low-low light, supports compact flash as well as memory stick pro, has a manual focus ring, and otherwise does all of the things that all of the other sony DSCs do combined into one. It is a bit bulky, but it's well worth it if you're serious about photos. There are some reports of purple streaks, but this is generally lense flair. A $30 filter kit will increase the crispness in odd lighting and will also protect your lense from dirt. The camera is a bit bulky, but this is to be expected with a decent optical system. It's great for those of us with bigger hands as you can get a really good grip on it. So, I highly recommend this camera, but I highly recommend against using Amazon to purchase it. Go to your local camera or electronics shop and pick one up there. ... show more

Captures problem colors
My rating of the Sony F828 digital camera, ignoring it's many features, is based on a it's ability to capture colors in a range that is beyond the capabilities of most cameras. We hybridize tropical waterlilies waterlilies and beardless Iris that can have flowers in the bluish pink, magenta, purple and reddish blue range that out two Nikon Cool Pix and Olympus C-765 couldn't capture. One of the Nikons did a fair job of capturing green and other than red side blue shades and the other did a fair job of capturing non bluish red shades through yellows. The Olympus sometimes was pretty good at capturing both ends of the color spectrum but was terrible in the problem range. In desperation I mounted paint color chips in the problem range on a piece of cardboard and my wife and I went to a Best Buy where a wide range of working digital cameras were on display and viewed the test board with each one. Some may have had color adjustments that we didn't try but without adjustment none seemed any better than our existing cameras and some were worse. In desperation I got my old Pentax K-1000 film camera out of storage and took pictures of the test card with it using Fujifilm 200 in various lighting conditions. The photos resulting, after rather expensive processing, were disappointing because all the colors seemed rather drab and the ones in the problem shades were not all that great. I had pretty much given up on capturing colors in the problem range when I came across a posting on line by a women who was having problems capturing the color of purple flowers but claimed that a friend, using a Sony F828 was able to capture and email photos with proper colors of purple flowers so Sony, having discontinued making them, we bought a used one. Being winter, we have not been able to give the camera an extensive test photographing flowers but the shots of our test swatches and of a full range of Crayola Crayons has been impressive. The camera captured the problem colors on the test card pretty well and we could tweak individual colors by adjusting the color balance but it should be noted that adjusting for an individual color can throw other colors off a bit. In addition to capturing colors in the problem range pretty well, all 24 colors in photos, particularly those in the blue side red through purple range, of the Crayola crayons looked good. Some people will no doubt not appreciate the fact that the camera is big, heavy and cumbersome. Its definitely not one that can be slipped into a pocket or purse but it looks like it will do what we want. Charles Leach ... show more

Sony F828 Lens with fungus inside
The lens of Sony F828 when examined under desk lamp light was found with two patches of fungus inside the lens deep inro the lens barrel which were quite visible for all those who have owned cameras. As these were not on the surface of the lens, I could not clean them myself. Based on my experience, they require either professional repair personnel or sole agent to dismantle and clean the lens. I'm still looking for cleaning service for the lens. This is the first time I encountered such a nasty item though I've purchased two camera bodies and one lens trough you. Their conditions were good but this time, the Sony F828 was poor. ... show more

Disappointing
I bought it used. The night-shot function never worked. Otherwise it is a fine camera, but I particularly wanted the night shot function, and my other cameras work just as well for the other functions. The zoom factor is so small it might as well not be there. If I had bought this camera new, it would probably have worked fine, but it was out of production. I bought another camera for my general use, and it is so good, I don't use the Sony anymore at all. ... show more

Great camera
I purchased the Sony Cybershot DSC-F828 for my wife, and she is writing this review: We received the Sony F828 in record time, great service from Amazon! I read the manual and experimented with the basic features and read of some of the more advanced features. We left for an 18-day vacation soon after, and the camera got a 3,500-plus photo workout. This included multi burst shots of jet ski races in Pahrump, NV; amazing shots of stalactites and stalagmites using the NightFraming feature in Lehman Caves in Great Basin National Park; magical sunrise photos of red rock formations in Arches National Park; atmospheric but crisp photos of Monument Valley, UT before/during/after an afternoon storm and many others. Not being a professional, or necessarily gifted, photographer did not hinder me from getting many wonderful shots. I am an artist, and tend to compose my paintings through the camera lens. This camera captured exactly what I was seeing, capturing the true colors. I was able to figure out, through trial and error at times, everything I needed to take the kind of shots I wanted. The manual, in my opinion, falls short of explaining things in more than vague terms, but I think if I can figure out all of these features any person of normal intelligence and persistence (stubbornness) can do the same. The more I use this camera, the more I get excited about having it. I would definitely recommend it as being a very powerful camera for even professionals, yet manageable for someone like me, who needs the best quality photos in terms of clarity and color possible. ... show more

A big disappointment
This camera was such a big disappointment, I am so frustrated with it. I have had this camera for over 3 years, and I just hate it. The lens and the sensor size don't allow you to do much. I had the Sony DSC-F717 before the 828. I loved the 717 at the time, but I dropped the 717, and though that I would go with the 828 as an upgrade to the 717. The 828 is not an upgrade at all, sure it has more pixels, but the picture quality is not as good and I have a ton of problems with purple fringing in my photos. I have shot over 10,000 pictures with the 828 and and over 10,000 with the 717. It is my opinion that the 717 was a better camera, even at only 5.1MP than the 828 is at 8MP. One thing that drives me nuts on this camera is the fixed lens. It is an average middle range lens. It doesn't do wide angle, and it doesn't really zoom, so its not much good. Don;t waste your money on the 828, especially today where there are so many other better cameras out there. Go with a Digital SLR. ... show more
