The moon looking large is an optical illusion because of your eye's reference to the earth. Your camera is seeing it right.
Since right is not what you have in mind you need to do some work on the image to get it the way that you want.

it depends on which type of camera you are using.
if its a film camera (one you go to the store to get processed), then the little viewfinder on those tends to not actually take the view from the lens, but from another lens, so the picture is only apporximate.
and as for a digital camera, it could possibly be the picture being squeezed up, leading to distortion. less distortion that film cameras, but distortion nonetheless.

Mine has a super-zoom and it still looks small. Thank goodness for hi-res and photo editing software!
It's a great moon tonight. don't you think? Really flipping big and low! I was out snapping it before too!

It has something to do with how the human eye percieves the moon, its actually oval in shape not a circle as we see it

Depends on what lens you are using.
a 50mm lens is basically what the human eye sees and you can have other lenses that go from 50mm upto 500mm or double that if you use a lens converter.
