I chose this camera for its high optical zoom and for its little shutter lag and it has not disappointed me. I love it and the photos are clear and crisp.

What a deal!

I was all set to buy the Sony H50, but found the H9 at Fry's for $249. Wow! I was looking for a bridge camera to play with HDR photo editing. My dad is a big Canon user and for the life of us we cannot get either of his two Canons to take bracketed still shots. The manuals stink for this camera, and the pdf I loaded on the home computer doesn't mention the bracketing either. BUT, it's quite simple. Figured it out in just playing with the camera after about 5 minutes, and it actually works. I'll be taking this out to the Getty Center this weekend and will take some 2 to 3 hundred pictures and see what this camera can really do. Will add to this review afterwards.

----------------------

It's a keeper. The quality of the pictures is simply amazing. I played with a lot of settings for taking pictures indoors of priceless painting and then Macros of the flower garden and of pollenating bees, and each shot amazes me. You'll be very hard pressed to buy a better camera for the $249 I spent at Frys in El Segundo. I posted a picture here in Amazon consumer images, titled 'JP Getty Museum Bee' as a example of the quality of shot I am seeing.

Great product...

I had this camera for about three years. I have taken it to four continents and about 20 plus countries. it with stood being slammed around and banged up all up and down central america and china and Europe. It takes great pictures and is extremely easy to use. I would recommend it for anyone traveling or that wants a nice and easy camera. the only bad part about it is that it doesnt have a very fast film option so that night pictures are not that good if you get out of the range of the flash. I finally managed to break the screen and it is cheaper to get another camera than to replace the screen.

Great camera, when it works

I had this camera a little over 3 mo when the snap-open lens cap started to jam. This causes the camera to power back down. I can usually jimmy the cap a little with my finger and get it working after a couple tries. It does add a little time to the otherwise lightning fast power-up though. Yes, right here I should have sent the camera in but I needed it for, I don't know, taking pictures...

Next problem cropped up 6 months later, the docking station stopped charging the camera and downloading pictures. I ordered a separate battery charger and I have a memory slot on my laptop that reads MS so I've kind of worked through it.

Now 4 months later the flash is only firing 1 out of 10 times. Of course it waits until now to develop a problem I can't live with.

13 months total and I have a camera that doesn't power up, charge, download or take pictures inside. Other than the listed issues I love this camera, it is fast, pictures are sharp all in a tiny package.

FYI this camera has not been treated harshly. Now, while it's in the shop, I have no camera and will no doubt be adding to the original $600 price tag

Good for a little camera

This is a great camera for travel and everyday events because of its small and convenient size. We bought it to replace our bulkier Sony DSC-F707. The large screen is wonderful! The video feature is a lot of fun but due to the small size it is hard to take a steady video. The battery meter is very useful as it tells you how much time you have left. The main downside with this camera is the flash. It doesn't work well in very dark conditions for distant or even slightly distant shots. If it weren't for the flash, I would have given this a rating of 5 stars. This is overall a good camera.

For more serious digital photography, we prefer to use the Sony DSC-F707 as it has a better flash and zoom. However, it is too bulky to carry around.

It's Amazing That Such a Little Camera Can Do So Much!

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RN50XPK2J6U6O My friend bought this camera about three years ago. I have another camera, but I am constantly borrowing his Sony Cybershot instead of using mine. It took us a while to start using the video feature, but we love it.

We like the flash feature, which works well for inside pictures and to fill in outside in the sunlight. The red eye reduction feature is helpful. The view screen is large enough to enjoy. We love the compact size.

My friend wishes he could get a better view than 3X telephoto in the video mode.

He is very satisfied with his camera and enjoys it when he gets an opportunity to use it. Obviously, I like it too.

Here is a sample video.

Nice outdoor pics, but night shot is horrible

This is really a nice point-and-shoot camera. Outdoor pics are really impressible and the clarity is also quite good. The only big problem I noticed about this piece is its night shot mode. Since it does not have any outside flash, the night pics are not good as expected from Sony. The indoor pics are also affected by the same problem.

Excellent Camera

Excellent camera. Lots of great features and helpful tech support. Only problem is getting it repaired. I scratched the lens & Sony wants $181.00 to repair it-at the minimum. There are no dealers near me, which means packing it, shipping it and insuring it. I only paid $300.00 for the camera, so I didn't think it was worth the repair charges. I ended up buying a sub-compact camera, but will miss this one.

Defective Shutter Button

Be sure to read all posts for this product. Flimsy construction, costly repairs. Essentially this is a disposable camera.

broke after one week

The camera is excellent, but the shutter button broke after one week of use (at the beginning of a long trip in China...!) and could not hold the focus or use the macro function. It seems that this is a defect of the series. Be aware of it! (I hope that in the meantime they have fixed the problem though)

Beautiful camera but be forewarned

I love the quality of photos that this thing lets you snap out. Range of focus can get a little annoying if you're a chronic macro mode user (as I am), but it's still beautiful.

I'd give it 5 stars except for one little detail: that darn shutter button. I went into this purchase knowing full well that at some point, that little button would come off. 8000 photos in... yep there it went, right in my hand.

You can still take photos by jury rigging it with a paperclip, but it's a little hair-raising to worry about potentially warping the auto-focus (Which is what I hear is going to be the next part to die), but it's doable.

The replacement part will cost $26 and if you want it priority shipped, for some reason it's another $20. >.< The box for the button is, no joke, a foot tall (the button's half the size of a dime, mind you. Did it NEED that much protection??).

So yeah, wonderful camera. Beautiful image quality, giving many lower-end DSLRs a run for their money. Bad button design.

Excelente cámara

Hace más de un año que compré la DSC-H2 y aun me parece que la compra fue buena. Esta cámara permite a los amateur practicar con distintos tipos de fotografías en diferentes ambientes, lo cual la hace muy versátil. Por supuesto no es un modelo para llevarla en el bolsillo ya que es un poco voluminosa y eso pudiera incomodar a la hora de tener que llevarla consigo. Una parte buena es que usa pilas AA normales o recargables lo que permite estar que el usuario no se quede sin baterías ya que se consiguen en cualquier parte. En cuanto a la calidad de las fotos son muy buenas y uno puede elegir la calidad de las mismas. Cuando uso distintos tipos de exposiciones, resulta una experiencia muy buena debido a los resultados que se pueden obtener. Si la memoria lo permite, se pueden grabar varios minutos de video, pero pero en este caso la calidad de las películas no es muy buena y es por ello que considero que no es perfecta, sin embargo cuando necesito videos, la uso aunque se que me debo cuidar de ciertas tomas en las que la cámara no responde como uno quisiera, de todas formas la recomiendo ampliamente si el interesado quiere buenas fotos y algo de video. Si compra una cámara de este tipo, y no es un usuario experimentado, le recomiendo buscar en cualquier librería especializada, libros de fotografías y verá que muchas cosas y trucos que se indican en esos libros, los podrá ejecutar sin ningún problema.

Takes GREAT pictures in Low Lighting!

I bought this camera because Consumer Reports rated it #1 for subcompact digital cameras. It was also only $299 here on Amazon.com (the price listed today is over $400). I have four criteria when it comes to a compact digital camera.

1. It must have a fast response time, both when I turn it on and in between shots. This Sony Cybershot is AWESOME. It is literally on and ready to shoot within milliseconds of hitting the power button. There's also NO delay between shots, which has been the bane of all the digital cameras I've ever owned. The ability to go from shot to shot without worrying about missing a great action photo or having to twiddle my thumbs while it writes to the compact flash or smart disk is a god send.

2. It must take GREAT shots in low lighting. I don't know how many crappy photos I've taken indoors at parties, museums, and more. I know we all have, even with those cameras that have 'indoor' modes but require a tripod to take a clear picture. Well, this baby takes absolutely stunning low light photos using ISO or ISO+ mode. They are clear and not at all blurry. Check out the photos I uploaded from a visit to a local aquarium in the Jelly Fish exhibit (where it's as dark as night in there). Not only did I NOT have to use a tripod to get a clear shot, but the photos came out rich in color and detail, especially considering this is not a DSLR.

3. It must have several scene modes. I am addicted to these modes as they often save me from some very bad shots. I am clueless on how to set anything manually. This camera offers a nice selection of scene modes, my favorite so far being the ISO+ for low light, indoor settings. But the landscape, portrait, and other modes have all proved equally adept at clear, brilliant pictures.

4. It must have a large LCD. My last digital camera had a 1.8" LCD and it was painfully small. I often couldn't tell that shots were out of focus until I imported them to my desktop. The Sony Cybershot has a vividly clear LCD that is large and bright, perfect for spotting bad shots on the spot. No more wondering if I've taken a good photo or not.

Overall, I'm extremely impressed with the Sony Cybershot. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it only has 3X optical zoom, up to 6X with digital. My last digital camera had 12X with digital zoom, and it was disappointing to find that even though I was buying a higher end subcompact camera, the zoom was a bit on the skimpy side.

Nevertheless, I won't be using my old digital camera even with its 12X zoom because the Sony blows it out of the water in terms of picture quality, compactness, and speed.

Not for Professional Photographers

1. This is not a camera for professional photographers. This IS a camera for those who take lots of outdoor shots, those who like the convenience of a small camera, and those who like Sony.

2. This is not a great camera for indoors/low light conditions. This is a great camera for action shots (when placed on the right settings).

3. I LOVE this camera for what I do, which is a lot of close up still life type shots. It hooks up to my HDTV and plays the most beautiful slideshows I've ever seen. The 8mp may be too much for some, but I tend to print large scale photos from my digital files, and the 8mp is PERFECT for me.

4. Being a Sony person, I have several MS Duo sticks laying around. Anyone who's got a kid with a PSP will know these aren't obsolete. I like the fact that the MS Duo isn't tiny, like some of the SD kin. I hate fubmling for a teeny-tiny little card and being afraid I'm going to lose it. I don't have that problem with this camera.

5. I really, really love the touch screen. It's big, beautiful, clear and responsive. I did put a screen protector on it as soon as I had it in my hands, so that it wouldn't get scratched. But it's stood up to 6 yr old hands many times without damage.

6. This camera is a great size for a 'Mom on the go' because it slips into a purse or back pocket very easily. The internal zoom has got to be one of the coolest things ever. I love that I can get the shot when others with their standard zooms can not.

7. All in all I would most certainly recommend this camera. It takes a little while to play with the settings and learn how to use it, but it's well worth it. It takes great photos, has a great form factor, and is very reliable.

Wish I had done more research...

This was the second digital camera that I have owned. My first one was also a Sony Cybershot, but it was very large and bulky. Since I didn't have problems with my first Cybershot, I decided to stick with Sony because it was an all around good brand. After doing some research for a couple of days, I finally settled on this camera. The touch screen seemed really high-tech and I liked how it came in black.

When I first got the camera, getting used to the touch screen didn't take too long. My main problem with the touch screen is that it gets dirty really fast. Also, simple things like turning off the flash would've just been one button push on my other camera, but with the touch screen everything takes longer to find. It's not fun to deal with, especially if you're a little tipsy LOL.

I love how small and light this camera is. It easily fits into my clutch or back pocket. I kind of regret getting black because when it gets scratched, you can really tell.

All in all, I feel like the picture quality was even worse than my previous camera. As I continued to use and get used to my camera, I wished that there were more features to let me maniuplate the camera settings. You can program this camera to "indoor" or "outdoor", but I wanted more control over the aperature and f-stop. It's a nice camera if you just want to snap and go, but next time I'll take more time when looking into a camera.

Make sure you get a memory stick for this as well, because the memory alone is pretty crappy. My favorite part of the camera is the ease with which it allows me to record small videos for YouTube. Other than that, I've used better cameras.
