Cool, 'cuz I was raised by wolves... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) It's a Sony Cybershot DSC-H5, replacing my Olympus digital which died this Fall. I wanted a digital SLR, but settled for this. 7.2 mp, 12 X opticaL zoom, Carl Zeiss lens. I think it'll take some pretty good photos if I can get the hang of it. Video, too. For that reason *and many others* I am looking forward to Woodward Ranch. :)S

Focus is good. What is the approximate distance from lens to rock?

Good grief! Those are some close shots. I agree it'll take some "pretty good" shots!

Holy Macro! Nice camera Susan. That's the updated version of the camera I have. I've had mine for a year and a half and love it.
