F828: It is official Yeah!

Just an amendment rather than a correction.

The CF cards are perhaps faster than the regular Memory Stick. I'd bet my boots that the camera is going to be hair-blowingly fast with a Pro stick in there. I think there's more to find out here.
Nancy,
CF cards are cheaper and faster (the high speed ones), with
capacities up to 4gb. Microdrives are about $250 for 1GB :-) But
the biggest, most amazing part of this is, it's a MAJOR
philosophical shift, for Sony. They are really thinking like a
camera company now. Not just an appendage of an electronics giant.
This camera shows that they are listening and that they are intent
on giving users, the features and control they demand.

It remains to be seen if they uncrippled NightShot.

I was out shooting the Moon and Mars with the V1 and the tele-end lens. I figured I might as well take a jaunt back in and see what was going on. I was right. :-)

Everyone happy?
I wondered if you would stay up for this Uly? Great news!!!

ISO 800 is maximum expectable for this small chip.
And with 2-2.8 lens it's enough for common situations.

But I feel much worser problem with noise - 8Mpx and small size of chip ...
 
kkkkkk
 
The guys who said that 'Sony will never allow the use of CF in their products' will now have to go back to the drawing boards and figure out what ELSE Sony wouldn't ever do.

The guys who said that 'Sony will never do RAW' will have to go back and rethink their strategy concerning how Sony has gone wrong all this time.

Guys, the word on the street about Sony is this: NEVER say never.

A 'coincidence'???

I think not!

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!@

Now, this is all from a site in Germany. Wait until we start seeing the info from the Big Boys and their site news. We haven't seen it all yet. I can feel it in my bones. My bones never lie. :-)

They could just be expanding the options on the high end. I'm sure Sony still plans to use the MS Pro in future digital video products that will need at least 5GB.

Just my dumb opinion,

simply adding CF as option will increase selling with at least 10% (I suppose).
it's a nice matter of marketing, and nothing else.

I must admit that I am suprised to see sony not stay exclusive to the memory stick. They are always kind of in your face about thier own formats.

Well, Sony is just IN YOUR FACE about a lot of things.

Only this time, they're in our faces with one really Super Bad and Black F-series.

Hmm... maybe this is the reason that the lights went out across the Northeastern U.S.A. I told you guys that the Earth would start to shake when this news came out, didn't I? :-)

That kind of makes that one DOA, don't it? :-(

It's almost kinda sad to think about. Those guys were starting to get pretty excited.
