The Sony Cybershot DSC-F828 was announced in August of this year and takes their semi pro range a step further than before. It has an 8.0 megapixel sensor and its Carl Zeiss zoom lens has a 7x zoom. It comes with a CompactFlash Type II card slot as well as a Memory Stick Pro card slot.
PC Mag reviewed the Cybershot DSC-F828 and gives it a 4 star rating saying:
'On paper, the groundbreaking 8-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828 seems like the ultimate professional camera. In the real world, it's nearly perfect—but not quite....Despite the bulky appearance, the DSC-F828 is a pleasure to hold and shoot. The manual zoom ring lets you find the perfect setting quickly, and the major controls are easy to use. Autofocus, shutter lag, and image storage are nearly instantaneous.
Our only major complaints are with image quality. '

Tom's Hardware Guide compares the Canon Powershot Pro 1 with the Sony F828.
CNET reviewed the Sony Cybershot DSC-F828 and gave it a rating of 7.9 out of 10 and writes - 'The fourth generation of Sony's Cyber Shot F series, the DSC-F828 is also the most sophisticated digital still camera the company has produced to date. Its impressive spec sheet includes an 8-megapixel CCD, a swiveling 7X zoom lens, and a new RGBE filter system that Sony developed to improve color range and accuracy. With great ergonomics, a feature set made for all but the most advanced amateur photographers, and performance that lets it pull ahead of many of its competitors, this model makes a strong first impression. But a closer look reveals a few flaws that you should know about before you fall for the distinctively designed DSC-F828.'
Photobird reviews the Sony Cybershot DSC-F828 and writes - 'In a perfect world, everyone would have the pleasure to test drive the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828. It's one fine camera that everyone should have the opportunity of using. Whether you want to keep it or not, with its price range, ease of use issues, and non-interchangeable lenses, is a different story for each individual. But, this Sony digital camera does have its high points, including its remarkable Carl Zeiss 7x zoom lens, 8 megapixel resolution, long-lasting InfoLithium batteries, its solid construction, and eye-catching design. With the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828, Sony has really set the benchmark for the upper-level range of digital cameras. If you're looking for a high-end digital camera, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828 should definitely be on your digital camera comparison list.'
DPexpert reviews the Sony DSC-F828 and writes - 'Some reviewers claim the 8mp 4 colour sensor has too many light receptors on a small chip causing increased noise and optical aberrations. dpexpert didn’t see any problems in our 30 cm by 40 cm prints, so we conclude that for use in the real world, as long as the ISO rating is not pushed too high, you can make superb pictures. Auto focus, exposure and tonal range are as good as we have seen on any digicam. Auto white balance is about the best we have seen in any camera.'
