Yeah, I wasn't to keen on the memory stick, but my printer had a
multiport to read them, and I carry one of those zillion and one
readers for my laptop. The sandisk memory sticks are a bit "cheaper"
than the OEM sony ones, but, they sure are more expensive than
SD or CF.
I looked at the FZ20 for a long time, then the H1 came out. The main
reason I didn't get the FZ20 was the proprietary battery pack. I'd
rather have the flexibility of the AA batteries. MUCH more
economical. The manual focus wouldn't have been that big of a deal
for me on the FZ20, nor the hot shoe. I use to use a ring flash on my
35mm camera to take macros of scale plastic models I use to build, but
heck, when I reached the age of 45, my eyes suffered from the "arms
too short" syndrome (bifocal glasses). I quit building them anyway
about 94......the time the internet exploded. The web, computers,
digital photography restoration have become my "hobby" now.
I've taken a few pics with the H1, and boy that stabilized lens sure
is a lot of fun. I guess my next "toy" will be the 1.7X telephoto
attachment. I'd like to go out to the country and get away from the
city lights and snap a few full moon pics.
