I have owned the F828 for a year now, and I'm still disappointed. Using the camera is a pure joy, as it is very responsive and fast. The lens is very good, and image quality is very good most of the time. But unfortunately you cannot trust the camera. The autofocus was out of range about 5-10% of all exposures. And the too tiny LCD screen makes unsharp pictures near impossible to judge properly. The flash is a shame. The po-up flash is being shaded by the lens at the wide end. The "dedicated" HVL-F32X does only work when attached with a cable. All in all this is quite disappointing for a 1000-Euro-camera, and I've now decided to buy a DSLR instead. After having tried the Nikon D70 I find they are quite similar in price, but the Nikon is miles ahead.
