I hate it, I love it, I hate it, I love it.......the fight goes on.
I bought by Sony DSC-H5 an year and half back assuming I will never grow out of semi-SLR for all my photographic needs. Here I am today cribbing about what my faithful camera cannot do.
I love my camera for several amazing shots I have captured in the past one year. An easy camera to get started with and offers good usability for a newbie like me. But for the past couple of weeks I have been spending more time on photography again and experimenting with things I did not dare to do before like shooting with the shutter speed mode at 1/1000 of a second for catching water drops in action, long exposure photographs for catching subject in action, panoramas.
This is where the camera starts showing its chinks in its features. Of course it being just a semi-SLR, I should crib too much, maybe I have just outgrown it. The features I miss the most now

- A remote control to shoot a picture without shaking the tripod
- The same remote control to control the shutter for extended-exposure photography (2hrs etc)
- Built-in time lapse photography feature
- Controllable through USB from my laptop
- Proper de-focusing of background
- DC power source input, to hook it up to my car cigar lighter charger or ordinary power source at home
Maybe I should stop rambling and go and invest some money in a DSLR like Nikon D60 or a Canon 450D.
