Essential Stuff to get with F828

kayaki · 29th July 2005

Hi All,

Gonna get a 2nd hand F828 next week with a member of this forum here.

1) i would be getting CF card. any recommendation ?

2) Flash ? F32x or F1100 ?

any other recommendation ?

You must be excited...

First, get a good 58mm filter to protect the lens, if it does not already come with one.

For CF cards, using a normal speed one is enough. You may want to consider getting a Mem Stick Pro, as CF cards will not allow you to use the high quality movie mode. Even the so called fast cards won't allow this. It's either you use microdrive or the mem stick pro.

As for flash, I feel that the built in one is good enough for most shooting. The F32x is very power hungry and drains batts very fast.

If you are interested to shoot macro of insects or fireworks, getting a remote trigger will be useful.

Enjoy your cam

the built in flash, if you use with a lens hood, chop confirm gurantee sure have a ring vignet on your lower 1/2 of pic...

Try to get the F32X. It's a good flash for the price.

There's a vivitar flash (about S$160) that works well with the 828. Not sure exactly which model. In terms of batt consumption the F32X eats batteries like no body's business -- both alkaline and rechargeable.

You've been using the cam for a yr. But, how come it is so dusty? I think, the cam must have been lying around for quite sometime.

Anyway, I believe you are here after someone posted the link to clubsnap in your Q&A in your Yahoo!Auctions.
