Key Advantages
The Sony DSC-F828 excels with its high-resolution 8-megapixel sensor producing excellent image quality for its class. The bright and versatile Carl Zeiss lens covers a wide focal range enabling both wide-angle and telephoto shots.

Limitations
The Sony DSC-F828’s relatively small 2.0-inch LCD screen is less sharp compared to modern cameras and may be challenging in bright outdoor environments.

Autofocus speed and accuracy can lag behind contemporary digital cameras, especially in low light. The camera does not offer video recording functionality, which limits multimedia use. Additionally, its battery life may be shorter than current standards, requiring users to carry spares for extended shooting sessions.
