  1. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

    Reviewer: Steve's Digicams

    Sony's 2008 addition to their mega-zoom line is the CyberShot H50. The camera features a 9.1-megapixel imaging sensor, 15x optical Carl Zeiss Optically Image Stabilized zoom lens, 3.0" "tilt-up" screen and advanced sports shooting modes are the main features of this camera. It also has full automatic shooting modes through fully manual shooting modes, a 30fps VGA movie mode (VX Fine) and Night Shot shooting mode that allows the user to shoot "night vision" type shots ...

  2. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 Review

    Reviewer: Digital Camera Review
    31 July 2008

    There are a couple of ergonomic blips that annoyed me and I still have a nagging concern that some of the Sony's shots don't look as good at 100 percent as they do at smaller sizes. But the ultimate question is if I were in the market for an ultrazoom, would I buy one? That answer is a definite yes. Read more

    Plentiful features with all manner of adjustable options, entertaining gimmicks and rock-solid shooting make us like this camera a lot. If you could stick an SD card slot in there, it'd be one of the best superzooms we've seen. Sadly, it loses marks for the proprietary connections. Read more

    Besides the "super thin keep in your pocket/purse all the time model of compact digital cameras" there seems to be a new kid on the block nowadays, the superzoom. Such is Sony's DSC-H50 (available in chrome or black finish). Read more

    There's a lot to like about the Sony H50. It fits the hand very well and isn't heavy enough to fatigue even a delicate wrist. It has a number of shooting modes to capitalize on its 15x optical zoom and fast shutter. Its one-button access to its slideshow mode is handy, especially considering how good the slideshows can be. Prefocus shutter lag is quick enough to keep up with the action at a blazing 0.008 second. The large LCD tilts so you can see what you're doing in ... Read more
