Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 Digital Camera

Gotta Love 10x and Super Macro

Pros: Image stabilization, low light shooting and FOCUS, 10x in a medium-sized camera

Cons: Still has some low-light magenta problems, no eyepiece

I've been shooting with a Nikon D-50 for several years, but it's too heavy to take everywhere. I have been waiting for a smaller sized snapshot camera, but just can't stand a 3x zoom. So, here's "Mama Bear" - not too big, no...t too little, but 'just right.' It's not going to replace my Nikon in every way, but having had the Sony a week, I'm very impressed with quality and the speed of the zoom and auto focus. I like to photograph from the car (bad habit - not recommended!) and this little camera isn't too great at that. I LOVE the super macro. I will be using that function a lot. My last small digital was an Olympus and it just could never do flowers too well. This one is fantastic, and almost always focuses right where I want it to. There's none of that focus uncertainty of the old camera. I even took some night photos from a moving (slow) Iowa State Fair ride, and once I caught on, I got some fun photos. Some weren't even blurry, so they didn't quite look right to me, so I had to figure out how to make them jump a bit!@ While this camera doesn't really fit into my fanny pack, I have it in its own small pouch, attached to my fanny pack's belt. So far so good! I love having it for those 'I wish I had my camera here' moments! Read more Less
