Hi,
I have had the F828 for approx 20 months and it is an excellent camera in good light. It is not a great low light camera and I don't think that it is all that great with the HVL 32X flash. It has some really good plus points like the excellent 28 - 200 zoom range, the swivelling body, superb build quality but, it has some really poor points to it like , low light performance isn't very good, write times to compact flash or memeory stick pro is incredibly slow when shooting raw.
As one of the posters mentioned, it ain't no 20D and, infact, I nearly bought a 20D today but, bottled out of it.
I would have thought that $700 is probably a bit expensive for a 2nd hand F828 especially since you can buy the new R1 for under $1000.
Hope I haven't put you off this camera too much as it really is a very good photographic tool but (there's always a but) there are better cameras out there these days for not much more money.
Cheers John
