My digital camera bit the dust this weekend. I dropped it, breaking both the lens and the screen, and then in frustration I threw it out a moving car doing around 80 mph. The impact with the pavement finished off anything that may have still been functional.
In any case, I've been checking out the Sony F828, due the fact I think its a sweetass camera and I already have a bunch of memory sticks.
Has anyone out here used one, or own one?
Any pros/cons?
I realize people have suggest other brands, but the fact I already own a bunch of memory sticks is making me want to stick to Sony.
Two things in particular Im curious about.
1) Shutter speed. A lot of digital cameras seem to have horrible shutter speeds, making them absolutely useless for a lot of things. Being a "professional" grade digital camera (they call it consumer-professional grade or something), does this camera have shutter speeds comparable to normal 35mm cameras? (Anyone can read the numbers off the sites, but sometimes reality and marketing don't exactly mesh).
2) Macro mode. I'm assuming it has the capability as Mango owned the Sony F717 and it had an excellent macro mode, I can't see their scrapping it in the next model but who knows.
I should be able to get an F828 for a decent price due to the fact they are being discontinued. Any input is appreciated.
