The 8mp Cyber-shot DSC-F828, which sports a new four-colour CCD, imaging processor, and a high-end Carl Zeiss lens.
The suggested retail price will be $1,200 (around �750) upon its release in early November, according to Sony. The new entry is a generation beyond the Cyber-shot DSC-717, a well-received five-megapixel camera. Both have the same large lens, but the new F828 sports a black camera body and packs more power. The unit captures RAW, TIFF, and JPEG image files. It accepts Sony Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, CompactFlash, and IBM Microdrive media cards. It has a 7x optical zoom, from 28-200mm (35mm film equivalent) and a 14x digital zoom, according to the company. The mechanical zoom is a new feature for Sony digital cameras. Users can connect the camera to PCs through a USB 2.0 connection. " Regards Michael Wilkinson. 106 Holyhead Rd, Ketley, Telford, Shropshire.
