The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is a fairly compact digital camera, which is no small achievement considering the 10x zoom lens it sports. It is, however, somewhat bulkier than its most obvious competitor the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5, due to the Sony having a...

The Cyber-shot DSC-H10 was announced in late January and comes as a successor to the DSC-H3 which itself was only launched a mere 5 months earlier. The H10 only constitutes a relatively minor upgrade with the new larger 3.0" screen with its increased reso...

I mentioned in the introduction to this review that the only apparent difference between the Sony DSC-H10 and its predecessor - the H3 which we reviewed in January - is the size and resolution of the screen.

As D-SLR prices continue to drop, we should see big changes in the superzoom segment of the digital camera market. Already, more and more compact, lower-priced models with up to 20X optical zoom lenses are hitting the shelves. At $299.99 direct, Sony's la...

Large 3-inch screen. Can preview ISO settings on the LCD. Little noise in low-light shots. Sports-shooting scene mode for capturing clear, fast-action shots.

Faulty face detection. Flash shots are overexposed. No optical viewfinder. Plastic body feels a bit flimsy.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10's unique features are overshadowed by poor flash image quality and iffy face detection. If you're in the market for a budget superzoom, better, lower-priced options are out there.

Capable of excellent photos outdoors in good light; compact and comfortable

No semi-manual exposure modes; lens distortion; no zooming during movie capture; poor high-ISO noise profile; so-so auto white balance indoors

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is a decent budget superzoom that can deliver very nice outdoor shots, but its photo quality falls short in other respects
