Review on 📸 Sony DSC-F828 8MP Digital Camera - Enhanced with 7x Optical Zoom for Improved Imaging by Stephen Good

Manual zoom ring. Incredible close-ups. Film and infrared imaging. Two different seamless storage media. Very reliable. Amazing picture quality. Yes, your shots can and will contain a lot of PF ONLY if the subject is something (e.g. a reflection of sunlight on water or something very bright behind something dark) that shows PF. Most of the points will not give you any trouble at all, which is why some people write that there is no PF for this camera. So I'm sure there are a number of settings where I have some PF. I think most digital cameras have some level of PF when shooting the same subject. It is no problem for me. A small drawback is the manual focus. As a longtime SLR addict I have found the IDEA very difficult to live with, but VIRTUALLY NO PROBLEM AT ALL. Of the 7,000 or so shots I took with autofocus, 5 or 6 had to be discarded. A small buffer for recordings in TIFF format is often mentioned. While this is fair and certainly true, I think it's really only important for professionals but doesn't pose a problem for the average user. There are practically no losses when shooting in accurate mode. When you are happy with the trigger, make sure to load the memory. I have a 1GB 40x Compact Flash and another 1GB Pro memory card for taking short videos (or just more photos). This is how I can get through a 3 day Kings Canyon hike and come home with 500+ high quality photos (3MB files) AND a few movies. - Use a filter (neutral density or polarizer) in bright light. - Use precision mode instead of standard to use less battery power. - Use manual focus (infinity) only when autofocus doesn't work (e.g. when shooting clouds).
