 Love this camera!! Jun 09, 2010
I see mostly great reviews and a few bad ones.
Any one person's opinion is fairly unhelpful.. but here is mine just the same.
I have used many camera's over the years and I have some favorites that are upwards of 4,000.00 for the body alone. The joy of using pro camera's is that the clarity and precision is easily duplicated. That said, this camera has given me some of my most shockingly beautiful, colorful, out of this world shots that my other camera's cannot replicate. The night vision setting and swiveling body is something I never saw myself using and then 1 week in I found myself bringing this camera to every single concert and show I photograph, yet again.. because it gets pictures that my other camera's cannot!!! Lets face it, out of all the parties, events, shows, and equally horribly lit places we find ourselves.. this camera always takes amazing pictures without having to bust out the flash! (which I refuse to do) I give it 5 stars because for the money it packs a punch! And It has a couple other magical settings that enable you to light paint your photographs in the most gorgeous way.. It's one bad mammajamma!
Amazing pictures May 12, 2010
This camera was my dream come true. I love to take pictures. The quality of the pictures were the best. The size it was my only concern, to carry in places where I felt more confortable if I have a small one. Great choice!
DSCF828 is Fantastic Jun 26, 2008
I have had an F828 for 4 years now and I still LOVE THE CAMERA !!!! I currently also own a Nikon D2X and a Nikon D300. They are also both great cameras but each camera has it's pros and cons.......
As for the DSCF828, a Nikon 28-200mm Zoom (f2.0 to f2.8) lens ALONE would cost more than a whole F828. And with the F828 I never get the dreaded "sensor dust" that you get with every interchangeble lens DSLR since the F828's lens is not replaceable.
The DSCF8's pictures are every bit as good as the Nikon's (and sometimes the color is better) although they may be a few megapixels smaller (but that never bothered me).
Yes, there is a problem with ISO and noise in the F828, but I have learned to live with that. If I'm going to shoot at any Hi ISO I wont be using the DSCF828 anyway, or I will use the flash.
But my VERY FAVORITE feature of the F828 is the swiveling Lens which has led to many more creative shots than I've gotten with my Nikon's. Nikons "Live View" on the D300 cant touch it.
So, in summary, each of these cameras has a place in my bag. I LOVE them all and would never give up the F828.
I will always have one.

 A big disappointment May 21, 2008
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.
 Had this since it hit the market Sep 25, 2007
...and I upgraded to the Sony R1 when that came out. While the R1 have me better image quality, I always miss the F828. I still do. As I look for my next camera, planning to a dslr, I still pine for a perfect version of an F828. Basically that would be a larger info chip to make the image noise not so much an issue. And, yeah, upgraded MP would be nice. What I love about the F828 is its flexibility. Versatility. It's macro function is amazing. That's probably what I missed the most going to the R1 (I kept the F828 with me on certain shoots just to give me the option to move in closer). It is just an easy camera to get comfortable with. Very light weight. Swivel screen is great. Great performance with image quality that quickly deteriorates as soon as you push it.
