Sony Shoots For 4-Filter CCD, 8 Megapixel Camera

Artifex writes "If you're looking to spend about $1200 on a new digital camera, check out this Digital Photography Review look at Sony's upcoming 8 MegaPixel Cyber-shot DSC-F828. The most interesting thing isn't the number of pixels in this prosumer-grade camera, but its 4-color filter CCD system. ['Instead of the traditional RGB color filter array, the new CFA is made up of Red, Green, Blue and Emerald (like Cyan) color filters.'] I've always been a strict Canon fan, but this is making me think twice."

New Yorkers will love this camera!

Rats I see the New York croud is coming back on line time to do something else. A prosumer camera post is the kind of digitally dysfunctional new speak that no New York yank wanker can resist. The Zeiss lens is all fluff and will mean nothing if the firm ware sucks like most other Sony low grade consumer stuff nowadays. Unfortunatly Sony, a once stellar brand, has been reduced to putting out low end junk to make quick bucks. They sure as hell should have stayed out of the memory and computer market. Now only respected brand naming keeps them afloat. Then again so does the much touted Electrohome brand for junktronics in Canada. If you can coin crap like prosumer I can coin the word JUNKTRONICS!
