@kranthi: No offense, but unless that is your best photo ever cuz it's of a really tasty martini that photo is far from "great". Next time, try not to use flash and get some more of the ambience into the shot - probably the table, some overhead lights, some people. It'd be a low-shutter, high ISO shot but it'd still be worth it in terms of photography and not just for the martini. 
@praka: Try straightening those horizons a bit! All the shots are at an angle...take some time to take the next shot.
@Sunnyboi: Niice, almost wallpaper quality. Why don't you use any other app (MS Picture Manager sucks at resizing - no sharpening and huge loss of detail!)?
(ducks to avoid the stones being thrown for not posting photos!)

Here are some shots from the A300.
Disclaimer: This is not for any great photographic quality or composition. More for posting some sample shots from my new toy.
hyeah:
I can't post the atleast 50+ portraits I have of various people (beautiful ones!), cuz am not too comfortable posting people pictures in public forums.
For those who want to view full-size snaps, you're free to visit my flickr page as seen in my sig.
Golden Buddha - ISO 400, F4.0, 24mm, 1/30
Minor league football - ISO 400, f2.8, 1/20
UP Folk - ISO 400, f4.0, 1/60
Droplets - ISO 800, f2.8, 1/60
Almost dark - ISO 3200, 1/3, f2.8
(I know it's highly NR'ed by the camera but it is still very impressive performance for someone coming from a P&S. )
Nepali Rickshaw - ISO 200, 1/40, f22
Overall, I love the speed and high ISO performance of both the camera and the very fast lens. 50mm at f2.8 is a joy to use indoors for people shots with great bokeh!
I'll be posting a set in my flickr page with portraits soon. Please check them out then!

The A300 is like a DSLR for dummies. Considering it's performance which is light years ahead of the H2, it's even easier to use than the H2. What I do miss from the H2 are: the AF-assist lamp (helps a ton in total darkness), the Liveview in low-light (the A300 is nowhere close to a typical P&S which "gains up" in lowlight), and obviously the monster zoom. But that should be solved quickly with my next lens. 
As of now, the f2.8 Tamron keeps me happy.
