Using the Sony F828 in 2019 

My photography career started with this camera. Because of this, i made all my dreams come true.

I still using my F828 :-))) Love this camera :-D

A smooth calm video, reviews on the F828 are few, nice to see your results though. I'm thinking of buying this beauty (2019), as I shoot mainly landscape, architecture, still life. Thanks for your help in my decision to buy.

I grew up on the f828 as a photographer. Composing through the viewfinder at waist height with the screen facing up at you was so helpful for candid street photos. It's made my first dslr (Canon 5D a year and a half ago) miserable by comparison as I'm not used to composing through a viewfinder and don't enjoy the experience. I enjoyed photography worlds better when things were simple!! I have a lot more control at my hands now but shooting was so second nature those days. I've toyed with getting another one because I loved the experience so much. My photos weren't the sharpest but I wasn't too smart about shutter speed back then. Some of my favorite photos were taken in '08-'09 abroad w/ this camera. Thanks for making this video.

I have a hobby with lasers and just bought one of these cameras as they have the unique ability to photograph monochromatic yellow. It arrives tomorrow and I am really excited.

She's built like a Sherman tank and also, unlike many other Bridge cameras today, because the lens is solidly built and at its full size , you don't get those lens errors or broken lenses when you forget to take the lens cap off. That Zeiss lens makes this bridge camera also take razor sharp images and if you have it dialed in right you can get some DSLR worthy shots. I've got a ton of them in my Flickr account that can attest to this. The trick I found with this camera was that once you got it dialed in, it took great pictures and still continues to. It's a totally different experience using this camera to any of the other ones I have in my Arsenal. I would say it's therapeutic in ways. I actually get quite a bit of enjoyment out of this machine. oh, and by the way thank you for doing this camera that Justice it deserves. So very little exists on the f828. That's probably why so few people know about its great qualities. I love the music in your video as well as the conamatic qualities

This is still a fantastic camera that can do things other cameras can’t.

I love this camera

Great pictures. Thanks!

My favorite camera :)

I would like you to have mentioned its abilty to take perfect photos at night useing its laser grid .

i have mine and still kicking nice video

Sony needs to bring back an updated version of the prosumer tilting body cameras, I started my digital photography journey with an dsc-f717, still have it, very versatile and fun to use…

I purchased this camera used and it does not have a memory card and I am unsure of the best card for this camera. Any suggestions on a card and the largest size the camera can read would be appreciated. Thank you, I did enjoy your video about the camera

I remember this camera! so much nostalgia watching your video. I had the one before it too... the F717.... this f828 I recall had really bad green color casting... I remember they advertised a lot about their color science.... but while it was an improvement in most areas.... I recall the f717 just had a cleaner color balance overall....

It was the #1 Sony Cybershot into 2003 with RAW Recording. It does have a full Metal Body, but the Handling had it's Quirks...and it was also basically a ISO 64 Camera, because other-wise, higher ISO, the Noise started to Creep into the Pictures. Further, it had much CAs. So the DSC-R1, which came into Fall 2005, was it's Successor, with APS-C Sized 10 MP Sensor.

Hola una pregunta acabo de comprarme esta cámara pero el enfoque no sirve muy bien de lejos o de cerca es un problema interno y además la cámara si no usa flash se pone la imagen de colores

I bought one when it first came out and used it up within a year or two shooting over a hundred thousand images and was overall very satisfied with it. People seem to get hung up on the amount of megapixels instead of the quality of pixels. If I remember correctly the camera had something called a super HAD sensor which gave a nice clear image even at 100% image size but the sensor used up the battery much faster than the newer CMOS sensors. In addition... the camera sometimes had trouble with rich colors of red. But skin tones were absolutely perfect. It also had a dark mode infra red which was very interesting but I never really used it that much. I might just go ahead and buy a working used one if I can get it for a good price.

Hi, can you teach me how to reset this camera to factory settings?

I have had two of these cameras and the only weakness I can see is that the battery eject lever is fragile and breaks easily even without touching it. I had to glue cardboard shims to the base of the battery to keep it in the compartment.

Спасибо, очень доходчиво!)

Hey! I saw this and another review on this camera I noticed that it would take pictures automatically and fast but mine has a process before taking another picture so I’m a bit confused

Excelente vídeo, muy artístico, en cuanto a lo técnico respecto de la cámara como vos mismo lo habrás podido comprobar no le envidia nada a la mas actual. En lo personal soy poseedor y usuario profesional de la Sony DSC F-828 en ámbito forense, obteniendo de estas el máximo resultado dentro del espectro de la luz visible como asi también en el espectro del infrarrojo.

I still using my F717 those Carl Zeiss optics produce better 3D images than modern crappy and expensive optics overhyped. the night shot and night frame was superb.

I ordered one back in 2004 and paid $1500 then sold it in 2006 because I lost my job at the time.......Since that I had many more modern and advanced cameras but F828 got in my heart and after all these years I found one just got it today for $100 with extra memories and two battery and it is like bran new even the stickers looks untouched no scratches and all the buttons works, I got it from an old Guy who told me it wasn't used in long time. So I'm soooo Happppy finally got one now in 2022 and never to loose it again, I know even the Smartphones cameras are more capable today but for me it is a special camera worth to be in my collection. Great Video Cheers

Nice camera

How did you get very good photos with better colors

Do not you forget infrared capabilities of the camera? Use magnet!

I still have mine. But unfortunately there is an issue with the power and can't really use it anymore... Now I'm looking for a replacement after using my phone for pictures for many years. I come to the conclusion that there is nothing better than a dedicated camera. But not easy to find one that is pricewise the best I can get... :(

My First camera 😢

I have this Cam

What is the biggest capacity CF card you could fit in this camera? Lots of contradictory info about this on the net.

nicely done but unfortunate that you enhanced/altered the photos you took

I have one for sale with accessories. Please reply here if you're interested.

717 - 828.... was good. Until my buddy put that in water when he drunk.............

Your audio levels are way off, n the video quality is poor
