Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Had this camera for I think about 2 1/2 years now, it's for sale because I never take it out, am not an SLR sort of bloke, need a good compact camera so am selling this and buying a compact. There are loads of reviews all over the net about this camera, it gets mostly excellent reviews. It is a discontinued model, only just been replaced by the new model though so shouldn't be any problems with acessories. Camera comes complete with genuine SONY case, USB lead, all instructions, charger, 1Gb memory card etc, it is not boxed because Mrs Tidycleanfuckingnuisance threw the box away . I would prefer it to be collected, simply so you can see what you're getting. Payment will need to be by cash only please. http://www.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProduct.act...t=DSC-F828& Price .................. Originally it was selling for £800, then it was reduced to £580, I'm asking £250 ono. Thanks for looking! A Link to post Share on other sites
tote 857 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong Strong Stuff but I'm sure that isn't a digital SLR camera,it's what's sometimes known as a "bridge camera" as it tries to bridge the gap between compact and slr cameras. That said,it is still a crackin' camera for the money. Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 To be dead honest mate I don't know the difference, I'd assumed it was an SLR because of the size Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee321 0 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 To be dead honest mate I don't know the difference, I'd assumed it was an SLR because of the size The single-lens reflex (SLR) camera uses an automatic moving mirror system which permits the photographer to see exactly what will be captured by the film or digital imaging system, as opposed to non-SLR cameras where the view through the viewfinder could be significantly different from what was captured on film. taken from wikipedia SLR is a camera where you are looking through a viewfinder at the same image as is seen by the lense!!! the camera you have here is a fixed lense slr where as on my canon 350d its an slr with interchangable lens. this cyber shot of yours is a cracking camera and from memory they have a great range on the lens focus! where as on mine i have to keep changing the bloody things. have a bump on me mate!!!! john Link to post Share on other sites

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Couple of photos of my actual camera, hadn't had time originally to take and post any. Also, this camera has a lens that rotates allowing the view finder to be visible when you look down on it, excellent for taking low level dog shots without getting on your knees! Photos show both positions, and the lens hood fitted. A SONY neckstrap is included. Thanks. Please note that the cylindrical object in the 2nd pic is not included!! But I will give discount to the first person who can tell me what it is!? Link to post Share on other sites
