It's a
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W50, certainly no SLR but a good one I quite like it

Don't know that I'd call them great shots
Most of them I used what they call Program Auto setting with the flash off of course, there's a couple of things that can be changed colour, iso, white balance etc
For the China pics I used what is called the Landscape setting - distance focus flash off or the Twilight setting - low light without flash
There is some difference in the amount the camera will focus between Program Auto & the other two, plus the amount of light the lens absorbs/uses

Yeah it's pretty cool what they can come up with when they explode.
No I definately couldn't afford to live in that area
. Taking these pics I'm standing in a park above a public outdoor pool beside the beach/ocean.
I live in the next town over - out my balcony I see trees & the neighbouring building

That was interesting after the brief thunder/lightning/rain storm.
The flag is on/above a free musical performace stage beside/infront of the pool, the other poles you see in the background are boats in the dock beyond that.

They definately can get pretty loud especially so close to the barge, some of the booms you can feel
.
Thanks for the compliments ladies but I of course see the fuzzyness in nearly every shot
Sometimes I zoom in too much trying to get a closer picture but that just results in being a bit more out of focus like the sunset in Mexico shots
