Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828 8MP Digital Camera

Product Description

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828 Digital Camera – World’s First 4 Color Super HAD CCD with RGB+E

This used Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828 is a historic flagship digital camera from 2003, representing a significant milestone in digital imaging technology . It features the world’s first 4 Color Super HAD CCD for consumer digital cameras, incorporating an Emerald (E) pixel alongside the traditional Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) filter array .

This proprietary 4-color filter technology was designed to reproduce colors closer to those perceived by the human eye, specifically improving blue, blue-green, and red color reproduction while preventing the red saturation (clipping) common in earlier digital cameras .

Condition Note: This unit is untested and sold as-is. Vintage electronic items may have age-related issues. No battery, charger, or accessories are included unless specified.

Color Reproduction Technology Explained

The 4 Color Super HAD CCD differs from conventional sensors in a fundamental way:

According to Sony, this technology specifically improves :

• Blue/Cyan reproduction (skies, water)

• Red reproduction (prevents “red-out” or saturation of bright reds)

• Overall color accuracy closer to human vision

The sensor works with the dedicated Real Imaging Processor which performs RGB to RGBE interpolation, followed by the “Linear Matrix” function to match human visual perception .
