Sony Cybershot DSC-H10 8.1MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot

I have owned 3 Sony digital cameras, and have LOVED them all! So when I decided to upgrade, I went straight to the latest Sony digitals to see if I could strike gold yet again with a Sony digital camera. And guess what??!!! I DID!!! I'm a stay-at-home Mother of five and I take LOTS of pictures. This H10 is perfect for all of the shots I take with my kids and various other things. The pictures are of high quality. I'll never buy a camera without the 10x optical zoom because Sony has spoiled me with that incredible zoom! The 8.1 megapixels produce quality pictures beyond my wildest imagination, which can be blown up to any reasonable size you would need them to be! The programs are so easy to use, that I didn't even have to read the manual to figure them out!!! One of my FAVORITE things about this camera is that when I actually push down the button, it captures the EXACT PICTURE I WAS TRYING TO GET without "missing the moment"!!!! I can't say that about all of the Sony's I've owned in the past. Anyway...this is THE camera to own and is at a FANTASTIC price on Amazon.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The camera malfunctions now by imparting a purple haze to each shot...disappointing...It didn't do it immediately and I'm pretty careful with camera equipment...unfortunate

This is a great little camera. We bought this after reading all the other great reviews and totally agree with them. We've only had it a few days, but so far it's working great. It has taken some really good pictures and the zoom on it is awesome. It is really easy to use. The video feature is my favorite. It took a very nice, steady video of my 3 year old driving his truck. It is small enough to be taken everywhere. Just keep in mind that it takes a mini SD card. Our old SD card from our other camera would not fit. We found a 4GB mini card for this camera at Wal-Mart for $25. If you are looking for a great camera to use for kids, and a good one for your money, this is it.

This is my first digital camera. I love this camera! I knew from friends who had digital cameras that there is a long wait time between shooting and getting the picture. I chose this one because Consumer Reports said most Sony Cybershots have a fast shooting time. This camera is very fast! I have shot lightning shots, very close macro shots. The pictures are detailed and clear. There are alot of options on this camera, and especially love the ISO feature. Would recommend this camera to all digital camera lovers. One issue is that the camera did not come with a memory card, and since it was my first digital camera did not know needed this. Also, not the best written instructions. But camera is easy to use, so figured things out.

I am a Ludite when it comes to these new digital cameras. I really miss photographic paper and the chemicals, but you can't work with this stuff and kids so, I got this camera thing and it has O.K. images but not photographs. Never confuse digital imagery with photography, it really is a different thing. This one has a rechargeable battery and, if you get one of these cameras get a second battery. It has a really nice image screen and the buttons are fairly user friendly. It is O.K., but it ain't photography.

I think this camera is very good, just that my skill in using it is limited. I have been experimenting with it for the last couple of weeks and have had mostly good success. The zoom is great since the camera it is replacing was only a 3x. I think the zoom is causing me some concern because at full zoom I probably need to keep it extremely steady, when i do so normally the picture turns out well. When I don't purposely steady myself they can turn out blury. The only thing that I have found bothersome was the manual lense cap - but I knew that was a con when I bought it. Overall I am very happy with my purchase, just trying to figure out how to best use it.

The camera is great... I can't express enough how disappointed I am with this purchase. The camera is spectacular and works awesomely. The box it came in, (original box) was not in the best shape, it was "opened" and missing parts. I am thinking of either returning it and asking the seller to send a new one or send me the cords which were suppose to have come with it.

Tired of carrying around a much larger SLR camera with interchangeable lenses and small view screen I found the H10 a very nice replacement. The 10X zoom is more then enough for my travel picture needs. In Alaska I zoomed in on a bald eagle resting on a distant electrical tower. The large 3" viewing screen allows me to compose my picture without wearing any glasses. Mode selector knob easily allows me to find the right picture taking mode. Virtually no shot delay and multiple shooting mode works machine gun fast. Steady shot is always on, removing any moves I may make and later blaming on the camera. Taking pictures at twilight and night resulted in very high quality pictures. Issues? With a 4gb memory chip I tend to overshoot, bringing my battery to exhaustion. No problem, added an extra battery and off I go. Yes you can read where other reviewers will complain about what the H10 will not do. Then again, if you take the time to fully read the manual several times, practice with the camera and learn from your mistakes, you will find the camera is fine. It's the operator making the mistakes. Nice job Sony!
