I have used this camera for both professional settings and personal. It works great for anything you would like to use it for. It even does great quality video!
This camera is also very durable, as I said I have used this camera for many years and the shutter and everything work as if I bought it yesterday.
I have even dropped this camera from off of the top of my refrigerator!
Now that's durable! With this camera you can even go through and see how many pictures you have taken the entire time you have had this camera. Looking at my screen I have taken 6,235 pictures!
I also been using the same battery and charger that came with this camera and they still hold their charge perfectly.

Now I'll give you some of it's key features!
Resolution: Sony's 8.0-megapixel CCD image sensor provides the Cyber-Shot DSC-F828
Optics: The new camera features a Carl Zeiss ® Vario-Sonnar ® T* 7X zoom lens (28 - 200mm, 35mm equivalent) with manual zoom for greater framing control, to fully extract the performance of the 8.0-megapixel CCD sensor.
Five-Area Multi-Point Auto Focus: The camera evaluates five separate areas of the frame and intelligently focuses on the subject, displaying the selected focus point, or the user can choose any of the five points for manual control.
NightShot ® Infrared System: Enables the camera to capture infrared images in total darkness at a distance of up to 15 feet.
NightFraming System: To capture crisp images in low or no light, this feature illuminates the subject with the NightShot system for proper framing, focuses with Hologram AF ™ illuminator and lights the scene with the appropriate amount of flash.
Image File Formats: In addition to JPEG and TIFF formats, the camera supports Sony's RAW format, which allows the photographer to change the parameters of an image (e.g., white balance and color depth). Software will be included for converting RAW files.
Video Recording: MPEG-VX Fine mode records video at 640 x 480 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second, up to the capacity of the storage device, for TV-quality video.
