Dear readers, buy this camera! Dear sony designers, make one with higher zoom capabilities!
I owned this camera and introduced it to my collegues. Now 4 collegues have this camera! I thought I wanted an upgrade and bought f828 - Was it a disappointment. Night shots or even sunset shots is blurry, focusing bounces everywhere but the subject, purple fringing etc...
I am so afraid to take pictures now. I am so afraid that the best moments with the F828 will be the worst!
I am using my cd500 again. All the features I want and all the shots are close to perfect. Just set it on auto mode and fire! I enjoy photography again. My bag now has nothing except a spare battery and loads of CD. Compared to my f828, it has filters and blah blah but the results are disappointing, might as well go back to 35mm.
Color conversion firmware is really good. I take night shots of the city on a bus! the shots are great! HK city view with no tripod! The shots were great too!
Problems:
Improve on the zoom, use a compact flash card for quick recording and then have the option to write straight into the CD. Hence, start-up time can be improved. Size is not a matter, dun worry. Have more pixs too but forget about the improved coating on the lens, I think that is causing the purple fringing.
