It was my first digital camera! only the best memories remain. I still use it sometimes, very nice colors.

Matt, Always great content and great review of classic digital cameras! Beautiful shots!

Good review and still have mine bought new from the first batch imported to the UK. I still use it now and again and prefer it to my too tiny RX100. Sadly there was no R2 with the ability to go to 200mm and 20+MP. Sadly we lost the laser focusing of the 828.A really fine all in one.

If you can find one for sale, ATG DSC-R1 IR, go for beyond $5,000.00. And the other is ATG DSC-R1 UV. Both are not cheap.

Great video ✌️

The very small sensor of the 828 doesn’t bother you?

But what if we can pick one : R1 - (A37-57-58-65) - a55/580 - a3500 - (3N-5R-a5000). With kits + 1 one manual prime. What would you then prefer for walks? R1 still? 🤯my head when I think about that
