Another day, another Sony DSC-F828 review. This time it’s the turn of DCResource to deliver their verdict on one of the most highly-anticipated digital cameras of 2003.

“It can be very tempting to compare the $999 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828 with digital SLRs like the Canon Digital Rebel ($899 w/o lens). They have many similarities, such as high resolution image sensors, manual controls, and great performance. But as much as I love the Digital Rebel, it’s not really a fair comparison—and not for the reason that you’d expect. The Sony’s stellar F2-2.8, 7X zoom lens cannot be easily (or inexpensively) duplicated on the D-SLR side: you’ll need two lenses to cover the same focal range, and that’ll cost you at least as much as the camera body. Comparing the F828 and Rebel is only fair if you can afford the price jump from $999 to $1999. If you can, then the D-SLR easily wins in all categories (unless movie mode counts).”
