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

byHoward_Creech Jul 14, 2006

One of the hottest battles in the digital camera wars is currently being waged in the monster zoom digicam market.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC –H 55.
I have owned two other cameras in the past.  My last Camera, before this one, was a 12 Megapixel.  And I thought it, at first to be ALL THAT.  This was only because my previous camera had been a four Megapixel.  I was so impressed with the... Read full review »

I received the Sony DSC-H55 a few years ago, and I'm still quite impressed by its user friendly attributes. There is no complicated menus in where you need to click a button 8 times in order to get where you want to get to go. The picture qualities are amazing (I personally prefer the ideal setting...
