Interesting shots. Without wishing to be picky, they look rather over sharpened in the camera. What do you think?

A question; at whom is this directed?

Steve40 you should be really happy with your little camera. Amazingly clear shots. I just bought a little Canon to carry so I'd always have a camera with me and I wish it took shots as clear as yours. Have fun and keep shootin'. Mike

Since there are no other shots, other than Sony images posted here. I will assume all to be in reference.

At one time RCA, and Zenith had two very different looks with their Tv's. RCA had a very pleasing soft image (much like Canon), and Zenith had a really contrasty cross your eyes, and make you blink picture (Sony and Others). Each one of these Tv's had their dedicated customers, just as cameras have theirs.

All of my other cameras are Canon's, the Sony made me blink. Yes the images are really sharp, and look more-so if you are used to a Canon. Canon is not so soft that they are mushy, and I can deal with the Sony's sharpness more than I could deal with a mushy image, which used to belong to Olympus P&S cameras. Maybe they are better now?, I really don't know.

But it is much easier to soften an image slightly if you want, than it is to do anything with mush, except to have sharper mush. :)

Oh yes I forgot to add anywhere in any post here, the shots from the DSC H90 Sony, were both made using fully manual exposure. :)

Thanks Mike, I also have a little Canon. Bought it the same way I did the Sony (reduced), I figured for $74 if it worked it had to be worth that, its the little A1200 listed in my cameras below.

At some point, I am looking for a little future photographer to give it to. Again its not bad for the price, but has no manual function. I don't live well with cameras that can't be operated manually, since 99% of all my images are taken that way. :)

Trust me, don't look at the RX-1. That turns you into a Sony addict it's WAAAYYY too expensive for what it is. Having said that, I'll NEVER give mine up.

I took these one night just fooling around with it. It's the same deal. The first shot was taken as-is. The second is cropped of the vase near the stove.

(Yeah, I know the composition sucks. I took it during a commercial break).

Your collection of utensils is remarkably similar to mine, even down to the can opener and thermometer. Nice sharp shots.

I have to tell ya, the thermometer is a handy item. You buy a nice piece of meat and overcook it, you're screwed.

I like to tenderize it with Adolph's, some sea salt, fresh ground pepper, sage, thyme & mash it a little with the hammer. Then I stick the thermometer in the thickest part of the meat. I only take it to about 150-160F (depending on the cut). Then I let it sit for a few minutes because the meat will continue to heat for a while on its own. That gives me time to get the veggies and bread ready.

Are you sure you're not me? :D

I like to add some rosemary, too. It goes good with everything.

The rosemary is a VERY good addition. The other thing that I add is cilantro (subtle but a nice touch).

I don't know if I have that. I'll have to look. Tonight I'm having lasagna in just three steps: thaw, heat, carry to the table. It's the big Stouffer's, and it's delicious.

Apologies for the delay. Sounds like sense. Thanks for sharing.
