Compare the test photos on http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonyh5/page10.asp shot at ISO 1000 with http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonyh5/page8.asp shot at ISO 80. Look in particular at the photos with lots of dark areas such as the picture of the lens. The coloured mottled hash on the page 10 photos is noise.

There are dedicated programs available that remove noise from photos. Some have free versions (noiseware for one does). They won't make photos perfect but they help a great deal.

Congratulations !
An excellent resource for the H series cameras is the H1(*) Whitepaper at http://www.aakatz.com/h1whitepaper/ Hint, tips, suggested settings, way better than the poor Sony manual ! (*) Originally written for the H1 its now updated to take into account the newer members of the H series. |

So, for starters yes. But if you want to get more out of the camera above what a point-and-shoot gives you, you would be well served to do some reading about the principles of photography - exposure and it's components (ISO, aperture, shutter speed), depth of field. And also some time learning post processing techniques. You'd be amazed how much better photos can look if you just spend a minute processing them. |
