Is this camera difficult to use or something?

Someone saidthey have difficulty taking pictures of people,but even I can take good pictures of people, and Iv hardly used a camera.

I get to use mine from Christmas day, and I hope its not so hard thatI cant take some snaps of my family on the big day.

Big Problem - The shacking hand icon always comes on as I half press the shutter, even on a clear day at daylight.

I don't want to use the Flash... because the image will be too clear!!!

Another Big Problem is some vignetting on every photos at upper left corner... well... I don't like Sony H1 anymore !!!

"You shouldn't have this problem in bright sunlight."

Yes, I have. Only on the first 2 weeks everything is OK... I don't know what's happened...

Strange about the flash, must be a fault.

Im not soworried about getting minutevignetting onphotos.

No one I know would even notice minor vignetting,but if they did, id be more worried about them than the photo :-)

Maybe if I were doing professional work id be upset, but if I were a pro I am sureid have spent more money on my camera.

The H1 is a good camera. Extremely capable for the average person. Heres a few of my latest photos.

I have had my H1 for about 2 months and over 1000 shots with no complaints. I purchased an Opteka 2.2x teleconvertor lens and have not had good luck with it. It will not focus at anything except the the widest angle setting. I have tried every possible combination of settings on the camera. I wondered if anybody had good/bad luck with an Opteka lens and what success anybody had with the Sony 1.7x lens.

I have had my dsc-h1 for approximately 8 months. I enjoy it. I also happened upon the telephoto (1.7x) lens a few days after I purchased the camera a good friend had one (Ha! Ha!). Great addition to camera. Be sure to go into menu and turn on telephoto feature ( this has become second nature switching back and forth). My dad loves the bird pictures. My question anyone using it for digiscoping I have not read any favorable reviews.
