Sony Japan unveils 8-Megapixel Digicam

Sony's digital camera line hits new resolution levels with the unveiling of the 8-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-F828.

The camera sports a new four-color CCD, imaging processor, and a high-end Carl Zeiss lens.

The new digital camera is aimed at sophisticated hobbyists, not strictly for professionals, according to Sony. Suggested retail price will be $1,200 upon its release in early November, PC World reported.

The camera, which can be connected to a PC, accepts Sony Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, CompactFlash, and IBM Microdrive media cards.

Sony says the new four-color CCD color filter covers a range of hues overlooked by three-color systems.

In addition to the current red, green, and blue color scheme, Sony’s new filter adds an “emerald” filter that it said much more closely emulates the human eye’s response.
