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 “R?ponses 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…
