Thank you for the info. Yes, the camera will sit in my workshop documenting my antique radio restoration. Taken with me when I go to help operate a 120 year old steam train and will be carried with my 6 German made 120 film cameras when I take those out.

What caught my attention with the Sony is the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens.

After using a Canon G-12 for a few years and finding I needed to buy an accessory tele lens to achieve the shots I wanted, I went and picked up this Sony DSC-H7 (cheap) to see if it may be easier to use then the Canon.

So, I have been looking around the internet for info, etc. and I guess I'll just pose the question and ask in this thread.........

What are your thoughts on how they perform? This cameras shortcomings and/or it's good points?

As for myself, I am only into digital in terms of using the smaller, lightweight cameras that do have the controls of the larger camera bodies and I don't have to deal with an assortment of lenses. Most of my photography is an extension of my other hobbies and interests. I went out and received a journalism degree at 66 yrs old and finally learned how to do photography because of the classes. So along with my vintage film camera stuff I just need that one digital camera to carry along and use as needed.

Thanks for the help
