RGB...E? This quirky old Sony F-828 with an eight megapixel CCD is impressive

We've checked out some cool old cameras on this channel before, but brace yourselves for one of the coolest yet! The Sony F-828 is a camera that is unique inside and out, from the body design and features to the implementation of the 8mp CCD sensor. It's under $100 on the used market today and offers a lot of value for the money. It's one of my favorites I've ever used!
Turns out the camera has the same sensor as my Canon Powershot Pro1, so I was able to compare the two sensors side-by-side in my blog post below. The only difference is Sony added their four color filter array with red green blue and emerald, instead of the standard red green blue. Check that out.
Also check out the review from Matt's Notes and subscribe to his channel. He's into quirky old digital cameras and I learned a lot from watching his video on the sony f828.
