The Sony Cybershot DSC H5 How does it compare with the S3, FZ7, and Z612?

byHoward_Creech Jul 14, 2006
120 Helpfuls 121 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very good image quality, stabilized 12X zoom, 3.0 inch LCD screen, and good ergonomics
Cons Mediocre battery life, No RAW or TIFF format, and above average chromatic aberration.
Recommended it? Yes

One of the hottest battles in the digital camera wars is currently being waged in the monster zoom digicam market. Most monster zoom digicams provide users with a wide range (10X-12X) image stabilized zoom, much of the flexibility and control of a dSLR, and all the convenience and ease of use of a...

One of my friends just purchased this new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5 digital camera and asked me to check it out to see if it was worth it or not. I had used this camera for a week before he came and took it away from me. This camera costs about $500 (but I think my friend paid about $400) and is one... Read full review »

Canon EOS 5D Mark II: The perfect balance?

bytheuerkorn May 12, 2009
38 Helpfuls 39 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Resolution, IQ, ergonomics, High ISO, HD video, lens fine tune, battery, quiet, UDMA
Cons only 3.9fps, 9-point AF system, no integrated flash, "expensive"
Recommended it? Yes

That's certainly oversimplified and a better camera still doesn't necessarily make for a better picture, but better technology enables creativity under difficult conditions once the needed skills are...
