Raza Ali, Can you post a shot taken by your H-50 as well? I've got the same camera and need to make the comparison, I'll post one shot from my camera as well.

This tunnel is under the runway.

This is the main traffic route to LHR ( T. 1 2 and 3 ).

Basically I bought DSC-H50 based on its ultra zoom factor of 15X, otherwise I would have opted for much cheaper Canon SX100 IS, which has a 10X Zoom. I have been mostly testing my DSC-H50 at extreme zooms. Moon capturing is an ideal scenario for testing zoom abilities. Here is a shot taken by DSC-H50. I have found out that Manual Control of Exposure gives you the best results in DSC-H50. Got lessons from net after fiddling with Aperture Priority mode, which is my favourite mode for snaps. I switched to Manual for this picture. Like for this shot, I used a f4.5, Shutter Speed of 1/320, ISO 80 at full 15X Zoom. Didnt used any tripod. This was purely a handheld shot. No editing done, though sharpening can be increased by using the Adobe Photoshop CS3 unsharp mask in the filters menu

i really like the moon! camera sharpness is worth complimenting....the tunnel looks quite similar to Al Shandiga Tunnel here in Dubai...

Do keep posting the pictures of London Heathrow Airport. I have a special Nostalgia attached to this airport, and your pictures remind me of the yester years. One of my past time, whenever I used to be in London was to take a Tube to Hatton Cross Station and watch landing planes one after the other from that end, though I myself never had the courage to take a photograph or perhaps I was too lazy for this.

Do keep posting, and keep it up. By the way, you regular photograph posting has compelled me to delve into Digital Photography ( I am learning) and I just got 2 Digital Cameras, One is a Sony Cybershot DSC-H50 Ultrazoom 9.1 MP Camera and a KODAK 12 MP 5x Opt Point and Shoot Pocket Camera.

Looks good camera to me ... I used to have many old SLR and now a days due to size I tend to go for small size digi ones. How does your camera behave towards close up i-e flowers etc ??

Hi Oxon

The Macro Mode of the camera is also excellent. It allows you to take shots as close as 1 cm. But best method for Sony is to Zoom into your flower, use a bigger aperture to give you Shallow field of depth, as the flower will stand out from the background. Details and sharpness are amazing. I dont have a close up of a flower at the moment otherwise I would have posted

I would love to have a camera like this .... but as you have noticed that my requirment for digi camera is small size ... pocket size ... which I can take it " every where " ... I was just about to buy Canon G 10 but canon introduced Canon A 2100 .. which will be available in march on ward in the UK , price around Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£200. Its small pocket size .......... !!!
