Sorry was not aware of that. This was about the camera not the photo. Please let me know how to de-register from this site. It is not obvious. Perhaps you could delete my account as moderator.

This image was captured using a cheap 16.1mp camera. Just shows that you do not need expensive equipment to capture remarkable shots.

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.
