Looks great, Ian. Love the embers. Perfect choice.
I have never looked back since my sister purchased my sony HD camera for my birthday last year. Really adds a new dimension to my photos. The files are HUGE, but worth it.
It depends, some HD cameras have a crappy sensor, usually 2MP for stills. The more expensive HDcams usually have an excellent sensor, around 10MP and most have Optical Image Stabelization, so most photos turn out great (for printing)
For posting pics on the internet, a 1MP-5MP is sufficient
cheers Carl, i have down set my camera to 7mp at present, even though its a 12mp camera, i find i get better pics of my tank with a lower pixel anyway.
