a mate of mine just bought a new cybershot with a 63x optical zoom and this was the result with a handheld shot (no tripod and not resting it on anything). :eek:

Thought I was onto a winner, went into liffey valley, she entered the number into the till it came up as 16mp thought I was gonna get the newer version but it was the one linked that came out might be worth a try for someone in another store

There's only one with 63x optical zoom: http://www.sony.ie/electronics/cyber-shot-compact-cameras/dsc-h400

yep, that's the one!

he checked google maps and it's almost 600m between where he took the pic and that house, so considering the distance and that it was shot from the hip, the image stabilisation must be very good on it to get a pic that clear.

someone else has some video taken with one showing the zoom here too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42R2q7gZGr4

sorry, kind of hijacking the thread a bit, we should probably get back to the BA.

goddammit I have absolutely no need for a camera with a 63x zoom and I'm price checking it right now and trying to make a reason up. :rolleyes:

where was that photo taken i.e. what country?

tonic wine · 08-09-2014 07:27PM

I need a new point and shoot camera with a decent zoom. I guess at €189, I won't get much better then the cannon at half price, all be it last years model?

garrkell · 08-09-2014 08:06PM

so it this a good camera? does it shoot video? or would i be better off getting a go-pro like i planned on getting..

Damned Swiss, with their cheesy moons...

Is that a (relatively) recent meteor/asteroid strike at the 'bottom' of the moon?

Great pic, btw! Handheld or tripod, just out of interest?

Seen that one evening maybe 8-16 mths ago glanced at the moon and seen big ole 2012 type impact spark type come off it, heard later something hit it.

...x63 pure optical is totally paparazzi territory, just stick it on a dronechopper over the Hollywood hills, and call up hello magazine later...
