Excellent. Try -1/3 ev and see how that perks up the contrast.

You've downsized them so much, I can't get a good perspective and they look soft when I click on them. I wish I could fill the screen and really take in the view.

I took the RX100 on a German trip and was very happy with the results. I left my Canon T3i and all that heavy stuff at home--and finally sold it. I now have a Canon SX50 just for zoom fun.  But for...

Could be a juvenile female.  Interesting, though.

PP refers to post processing, ie. using a computer application to adjust the image after downloading the image to a computer. There are many programs that do this. Paintshop pro is popular plus...

I think I understand: This pet insect name Shokry (after an Egyptian footballer--I looked it up) is kept inside in a box at night and let out during the day to eat other insects?

Really nice!

Well, sort of : http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&searchType=search&storeId=10151&catalogId=10551&productId=8198552921666557711&acdrop=1#specifications Each...

Wow, I must say, I didn't think about taking my sx50 anywhere at night because of the processing noise, but these have convinced me otherwise--well done.

Monopod=Dynex from Best Buy. Around $30. Very solid, though, for the price. I looked at a more expensive one, and couldn't see the difference--both were rigid with no flex--and that's what you want.

Thanks Don. HX300 - For comparison. For those that like to compare, here is a shot with the Sony HX300. Click on this and the others at 100% and you'll see quite a lot more processing noise, though...

There's manual focus as well but tricky to use. I use flexzone and smallest window.

Was hazy blue sky, but sunny here in southeast Michigan. Spring is still behind so trees are still open to see the nests. I took some pics a couple of weeks ago with a Sony HX300, and I must say, I...

Considering the slower shutter speed and time of day, the SX50 looks pretty good. The depth-of-field seems wider too, but that is not necessarily a good thing as it demonstrates the field is not...

Dumped my Canon T3i and all my fun lenses for the same reason--just wouldn't take it with me anymore--too much stuff to worry about.  I went on a trip with a pocketable Sony RX100 and was very...

http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/ultrazoom-cameras/1299376/sony-cyber-shot-hx50-review-hands-on   Not much here, but more images of the camera.

Based on my pics with RX100, I would say you have too much sharpening and contrast. Almost looks like you have HDR set. Give us something with full EXIF if you can, with no PP. That said the...

Well done, Hossam. Have you tried the planets? I've seen several on this forum of Jupiter and Saturn that were quite amazing. I haven't been able to get a clear sky around here at night to try that...

No, nothing in the device manager. I can use the card reader, though. A bigger problem is with the Image Browser--it will not load until if verifies with the camera that the SX50 exists, so that is...
