Lovely pics, Beefy, but please enlighten me.
Last month in a thread about Sony Cybershot cameras
http://www.walkingforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=38001.0 you posted that you and April both had DSC HX60V ones, which other members recommended too. I was so impressed that I decided to get one when I can afford it.
But in your previous thread of a few pics testing your camera
http://www.walkingforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=38162.0 you said you had a new lens.
As far as I'm aware the DSC HX60V has a fixed lens, so your test pics must be taken with a different camera?
