Guest LB Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 The latest model (DSC-F828) in Sony's popular line of Cyber-shot F-series enthusiast cameras. With its lens-centric design, the new camera is encased in a black, magnesium alloy body, and is the first to incorporate Sony's recently announced four-color filter CCD technology and Real Imaging Processor*. Along with the Carl Zeiss T* optics.Resolution: Sony's 8.0-megapixel CCD image sensor provides the Cyber-shot DSC F828 camera with a maximum image size of 3360 x 2460, equating into 11 x 17-inch prints at 200 dpi or 8.5 x 11-inch prints at 300 dpi. Optics: The new camera features a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 7X zoom lens (28 - 200mm, 35mm equivalent) with manual zoom for greater framing control, to fully extract the performance of the 8.0-megapixel CCD sensor. Five-Area Multi-Point Auto Focus: The camera evaluates five separate areas of the frame and intelligently focuses on the subject, displaying the selected focus point, or the user can choose any of the five points for manual control. NightShot Infrared System: Enables the camera to capture infrared images in total darkness at a distance of up to 15 feet. NightFraming System: To capture crisp images in low or no light, this feature illuminates the subject with the NightShot system for proper framing, focuses with Hologram AF* illuminator and lights the scene with the appropriate amount of flash. Image File Formats: In addition to JPEG and TIFF formats, the camera supports Sony's RAW format, which allows the photographer to change the parameters of an image (e.g., white balance and color depth). Software will be included for converting RAW files. Video Recording: MPEG-VX Fine mode records video at 640 x 480 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second, up to the capacity of the storage device, for TV-quality video. The Cyber-shot DSC-F828 camera will be available in mid-November directly from SonyStyle.com and at retailers nationwide with a suggested price of about $1,200. The DSC-F717 model will continue to be available at about $800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
