Title: A big disappointment
Product review: 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.
