The Sony DSC-H2 has a 12 zoom 6.0 mp, has scene modes and manual, aperture priorty and shutter priority modes, and is a great camera. You can add the telephoto and macro lenses. I owned the Sony DSC-H5 and the pictures were soft. The H2 the pictures are detailed, clear, sharp and crisp. Where has this camera been all my life? The sky is actually blue and I am wowing myself all the time with this camera.
