Key Advantages

The F828's key strength lies in its 8.0-megapixel CCD sensor, which was considered high resolution at the time of release. Its Carl Zeiss lens delivers sharp images with excellent color reproduction. The availability of RAW shooting empowers advanced users to customize image output. The camera offers a rich feature set including manual controls and multiple shooting modes for creative flexibility. A tilting LCD and electronic viewfinder improve usability in varied shooting conditions. Lastly, its sturdy build and ergonomic handling make it suitable for prolonged use in the field.

Limitations

Given its age, the F828 has certain limitations compared to modern cameras. The sensor size is smaller than APS-C or full-frame sensors, affecting low-light performance and noise levels. The autofocus system is slower and less accurate than current standards. Video recording capabilities are limited or nonexistent on this model. The rear LCD is relatively small and lower resolution compared to today's cameras. Battery life may be shorter than modern alternatives. Additionally, storage relies on Memory Stick formats, which are less common and slower than current SD cards.
