Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3

Has 10x optical zoom lens; small size; optical image stabilization; face detection.

Noisy images at higher ISOs; no place to put your thumb.

If you don't like electronic viewfinders, but want a superzoom, this Sony packs a 10x zoom lens and 8 megapixels into a tiny package, but image quality at higher ISOs is a bit lacking.

REVIEW—SONY SYBERSHOT DSC–H3 ]

This 8 megapixel camera has a 10x zoom (38–380mm film equivalent) Zeiss-branded lens in a compact body. Like the Panasonic TZ cameras it fits the long zoom into a body that is smaller than the usual pseudo-SLR superzooms. The Sony is well-made and...

The picture quality from the camera is generally good. The multi-zone autofocus system must be turned off for satisfactory results. If it is left on an unacceptable number of photos will be out of focus. The camera is very responsive with little or no...

The auto white balance is poor. Photos taken in open shade may have a colour cast anywhere from magenta to orange. The LCD screen is unsatisfactory as a viewfinder and for review of images. We found that pictures that looked dreadful on LCD review were...

This could be a camera to take on a holiday. The Panasonic TZs have the advantage of a 28mm focal length at the wide end of the zoom, which would sway us towards that camera, but the Sony is better in the image noise department, producing slightly...

Sony Cybershot DSC-H3

I always wanted to purchase a digital camera which gives a great photo quality. I had choice to go for slim one (which dosent have big lenses and zoom) Vs the semi-SLR type cameras. As we know, we need a cam not only for the events like birthday,...

Sony Cybershot DSC-H3

*Recently I have bought SONY H3 from Reliance Digital, in view of its feaures. It has 10 x zoom and 8.1 mp resolution. Most of the features can be mastered in quick succession. The stamina battery which is supposed to last for 3 days does not last that...
