Image from a 'cheap' camera

[dosplatanus]

The attached picture was taken by my eight year old son using his own camera. I think this a is a remarkably good image not just because he is young but that it was taken using a 'Camera', You may have seen them advertised on ebay. I bought him one not expecting much but I think I need to revise my opinion, the sensor is spot on. The 'Camera' are 16.1 megapixels, 4 zoom steps and also offer video mode. This picture was taken just after midday into a clear blue sky with the sun just starting to slant which made the finer wing edge feathers translucent, the EV was -0.3 and is always set at that and seems to cope with all situations. Probably a plastic lens on the camera also but the level of detail captured on a moving image and from such a cheap camera (circa £20) is impressive in my opinion. Overall though I think the 'Camera' performed well but interested in other opinions.
