I normally use a 12 mega pixel Nikon D2X with a Nikon 200-400 mm F 4.0 VR zoom lens with a 1.4x teleconverter. Approximate cost $10,000.

My wife Maggie uses a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2 with a Sony VCL-DH1758 1.7x teleconverter which gives her about the same reach as me. Approximate cost $450.

Click here to see a comparison of pictures taken by Maggie with her Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2 and by me with my Nikon D2x. In reviewing these pictures I think the picture quality is close match to that of my more (much more) expensive DSLR setup.

So I got a refurbished Sony rig like Maggie has, to see what I can do with it. Thus, this month you will see a mix of pictures from both of my cameras with the slides taken with my Sony marked as Shot with Sony DSC-H2.
