Since you didn"t bother to go to the Wikipedia link I'll quote what they said about the problems with that camera:

"Visible picture noise, associated with increased pixel density and underdeveloped noise reduction algorithm, was of primary concern. Moreover, the novel RGBE sensor did not bring in much improved color accuracy as expected; this led Sony to drop any further development on such sensors, making F828 the first and the last commercial camera ever to use a 4-color sensor. Many photographers also noted more severe purple fringing on F828s than on its predecessors."

Time for you to find a new case study to support your reviewer bashing exercise.

But I will give a case study about a concept camera introduced by Sony about twenty years ago. It was a mirrorless marvel way ahead of it's time. The series were considered Bridge cameras between pro and consumer. The concept was to take an excellent Zeiss tele Sonnar 28-200mm and couple it with a swivelling mirrorless body and giving the camera other features such as video and infra-red night vision as well as night vision plus built in flash plus hot shoe. The DSC F717 was favorably received so Sony continued by increasing the sensor to 8mpixels (3264x2448 size raw and *.tif files of 23megabytes) and making a special 4 color sensitivity. Then the reviews went sour and they dropped the entire line of mirrorless which twenty years ago were ahead of the times. It listed for about $1000. at the time. Below is a phtoto of this last of the line---the DSC F828---8 megapixel---videoo--infra-red ergonomic swivel lens marvel---the last in the series thanks to the poor reviews. But I enjoy mine greatly. Also it uses CF as well as Sony cards and runs an hour and a half on a charge. And the color rendition is excellent for a Bayer with the added 4 colors.----photo attached.

And----P.S. As I have said---this camera lives up to expectations in all respects---no fringing at reasonable ISO---better color--swivel mirrorless live view in both viewers--infra read--flash--ergonomics--excellent zoom 28-200 and resonable price-----BUT THEN I HAVE ALWAYS CONTENDED---"If there is something that catches my fancy and is popular with other people, also I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A MISTAKE IN MY JUDGEMENT!" And that goes for most things in my life--cars,music,locations---nearly everything.------ew (Note:---nobody has commented on using a DSC-F828 yet on this thread proving people like I are in the minority on this camera either from the reviews or they just didn't like mirrorless or swivel big sharp zoom lens cameras.-----ew

Again a wise guy----I submitted a 3264x2448 size raw and *.tif files of 23megabytes at your insistence. And, of course you looked for meta data to criticize----sorry that your pittifull self could not pick it apart. Better next time on your pathetic "gong show." So---you couldn't top my twenty year old camera with claiming fringing or anything else----boo-hoo to you. And that was also F: 2.2 at 200mm--if you want meta data----top that with your current camera???? Try?---Why don't you send a similar photo if you can for me to "critique"---I you now finished in the children's playyard?-----
