Latest News: F828 project is cancelled

LanceD said:

To improve the image quality of the F828, Sony's engineering chief
estimated another 12 months delay. Can't afford such delay, Sony
executives decided to cancel the F828 project and pull all
engineering resources into the F939 project, which will be sampled
by 3Q04 and in full production status by 1Q05.

Effect immediately, all sample images and F828 associated document
such as specification should be destroyed. To the advertising
agencies hired by Sony earlier to promote the F828, Sony will pay a
compensation for terminating the contract early.

For any future cameras that will be presented at pulic shows, Sony
decided to superglue doors of all memory compartments, MS and CF
alike. This will help prevent unauthorized release of Sony
pre-production samples.

As a damage control measure and to retain its royal customers, Sony
decided to lower the T1 price by 1/3. This will keep people happy
while waiting for the F939.

BTW, no pre-production unit will be sent to DC reviewer as a way to
lower people expectation of the future F939.

Beside some minor anoyances that are some limitation imposed by
Canon, the 300d produce excellent image quality and performance.
It will not be recalled by Canon..they don't even want to make a
firmware update to change the features to let us have FEC..at least
for now. They don't care..they have lots of sales.
