One day without a pocket camera was one too many. I went out and bought another; a little Sony like the last one. This one is the
DSC-WX350.
By the time I got it home and set up, it was too dark to take it for a run outside, so I took a few trial shots into the aquarium.

| Hairy hermit. |

| Juvenile leafy hornmouth, bearing three very tiny baby blue anemones. |

So far, so good. It's about the same size as the one it replaces, but with better zoom. In this first test, it gives me good colour; difficult through algae-coated glass. It's fast, so it stops even walking hermits in their tracks. Unfortunately, the photos are noisy, and focussing is iffy on tiny things. But I do like its speed.
I won't be using it for my critters, though. The real test will be tomorrow: skies, stuff, buildings, roadsides, people.
Looking forward to seeing how it does on birds in flight.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are beautiful, nice color and details. Looking forward to the next set.
ReplyDeleteI bought this camera for my wife. Lots of nice features and the menus are similar to those on my DSLR equipment. Polly really likes the camera.
