A five megapixel, Super HAD CCD imager, 12X optical zoom lens and a large 2.5-inch LCD are just a few of the features on this model that are sure to please even the choosiest photo buff.

With a focal length range of 36 - 432 millimeters (a 35mm equivalence) the DSC-H1 camera lets you frame distant objects with ease. Making the most of this telephoto reach, Sony's Super Steady Shot optical image stabilization feature counteracts camera-shake to ensure sharp images. This feature also benefits low-light photography by allowing the use of longer shutter speeds with reduced risk of image blur from camera-shake.

Sony's Real Imaging Processor circuitry is incorporated in the model for better battery efficiency, more responsiveness and high quality movie taking, while seven preset scene modes allow quick selection of the best setting for specific shooting conditions. The camera also includes a five-area, multi-point auto focus to help you concentrate on the subject without mistakenly focusing on the background, as well as aperture/shutter priority and manual exposure modes for creative control of the image. For added convenience, the model has 32 MB of internal memory (30 MB of usable memory) and a Memory Stick flash media slot. PictBridge compatibility enables prints in a flash when the camera is connected to an enabled printer.

    The camera that works for you

    Pros: It has everything I want in a camera

    Cons: Haven't found any

    I've had it only for about 2 weeks, but everything I've tried to do with it, works! It's a simple camera to use with sophisticated features. I'm 68 yrs. old and I can operate it with no trouble at all.

    What a bargain for me!

    Pros: Ease of use and many features

    Cons: battery life

    I bought this camera as a replacement for a Sony DSC-P10, which I broke. I wanted to get something similar yet better, and I did! This camera is fantastic. It does just about everything we used to do in a darkroom but without the chemicals. I can cus...tomize the settings or simply set everything to automatic for poin-and-shoot. It does drain the batteries a bit when everything is turned on and shooting movies or photo-bursts, but I still get a good hour out of the rechargeable batteries. Pricey, yes, in a way, but a great camera so far. I gave the support a 4 because of the complexity of the manual that comes with the camera. Read more Less

    Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H1

    The DSC-H1's powerful 12X zoom brings you close to your subject, but images from the camera could look better. Sony's $500 Cyber-shot DSC-H1 packs a powerful 12X optical zoom lens and an impressive 2.5-inch LCD into a chunky but intelligently designed package. Its built-in image stabilization helps produce sharp pictures, especially in low-light conditions or when you're taking telephoto shots. In bright light or when you're shooting action, you can switch to the DSC-H1's eye-level viewfinder. Because it's electronic, it delivers more-accurate framing then you'd get though an optical viewfinder, but it seems smaller than similar viewfinders we've seen on other cameras, which makes it somewhat unpleasant to use.
