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

byHoward_Creech Jul 14, 2006

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...

Pros good for beginnersgood price for DSLR
Cons battery life in liveview
Recommended it? Yes

I have always envied those that could take amazing photographs; observing these people has led me to the same observation: they use DSLR cameras instead of the easier to use point-and-shoot varieties. I was always intimidated by these cameras so never thought that one was for me-- that was until I... Read full review »

Pros Everything!
Cons A little heavy and bulky.

I just bought this camera for my hobby and I'm amazed by this. The quality is amazing and you have many features to make your photos even better. (Changing color, light settings, color balance, even a fun fish eye effect!) The screen is big enough to see details of your camera and the buttons are... Read full review »
