Sony DSC F-828: The Real Deal?

Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | August 14, 2003 | 2 Comments

A few days ago I posted this story about the Sony DSC F-828, complete with a photograph of the new camera. That seems to have been a bit of a hoax, however, as this new posting over at DPReview shows. Someone has posted an excerpt from the August edition of the French magazine “Réponses photos”. It looks like the F-828 will have the world’s first 8 megapixel CCD in a compact digital camera, together with Sony’s new sensor featuring the extra emerald colour sensor, and an impressive 28-200mm f/2-2.8 lens.

Of course, it goes without saying that this could all be an elaborate hoax as well…

Specs like that could make a lot of very happy campers. Of course I'm not exactly partial to being locked into a proprietary format like memory stick, and it's doubtful they'll be able to keep the price below $1,000 USD.

Well, time has told, as Sony have just officially announced the DSC F-828. The list price may be above $1000, but there are a lot of other surprises to maybe make up for that...
