need advice on H7

[schizer]

hey guys, i'm a noob in photography..

i'm thinking of getting a Sony H7 cam.. what i hope to capture are some high speed shots, like maybe an airplane fly-by, and maybe a couple of distant shots.. is the H7 suitable for jobs like these? and is this model good for clean close up shots like what the H5 is capable of?

Yes, it certainly is. But if total image quality is really critical for you, you may want to invest in a nice A200 package instead.

hmm.. i'm thinking of using it like a casual digi cam, but with a little more control over the kind of images i wanna take..

For a bright day, the ISO should be low and shutter speed can be fast without affecting the exposure...but Focusing can be more of a problem than image quality.

I am a H5 user. Great image quality at low ISO till ISO200 can also double up as a video camera as well.

If able to, get a tele-converter to boost the focal length to 1.7 times and you may catch a nice close up on the planes up in the sky.

Am a very happy owner of a H7 here, and what i can say is that it's great for those scenarios u mentioned..

A high-speed shot taken at Auto Expo 2007 last year...
