Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-H2 Digital Camera

My Minolta developed a fault, therefor I desided to upgrade my digital camera.
As most people I was on a budget, this mid market model out classed the fuji 5600 and the Kodak 6 series. The main reason was the anti shake mechanism the others had none, with reviews pointing this out. The quality of my Minolta Z1 was great, with Minolta being swallowed up by Sony this led me to look at Sony. The read up's on the Sony revieled that the H2 features, lens, quality etc were the same as the more expensive H5 except it was 6 mega pix and a 2inch screen instead of 7 mega pix and 21/2inch screen respective,and of course cheaper. The quality of build is fantastic and with the Carl Zeiss lens and 12 times optical zoom the pictures are excelent. Most of the pro photographer features like F settings ISO etc are set at best in the AUTO setting and as a point and shot chap, I am amazed how good it all works out. With artheritis in the hands the chunkyness is ideal to hold, alter features and take photo's without to much trouble. I tried the smaller compact camers and they were to fiddly. With the recent snow, I went outside 6 in the morning pitch dark and took some amzing pictures with the flash, everything auto, point and snap, you can even see the snow falling. Summing up Im delited with my purchase, look around for deals, I managed to get a 2gig memery stick with my purchase and the package was cheaper than some outlets were selling just the camera for. Cant waite for the summer to come and go away in my touring caravan where I get to do most of my photography, this year I know with the new Sony H2 my pictures will outdo anything I've done before. Happy snapping Malcolm.
