If you can live without an electronic viewfinder, you won't find a better value in a compact super-zoom than the DSC-H10. The zoom factor is not as high as most of the competition, but 38-380mm (35mm equivalent) is still a lot of zoom. The advanced ...

8.1MP resolution, 10X 38-380mm zoom (35mm equivalent), Optical image stabilization, Automatic face detection, 3” 230,000 pixel color LCD

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is Sony's latest entry into the budget compact

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 ...

Lens quality ; 10x optical zoom ; Relatively fast in action mode ; Override settings not always present on point-and-shoot cameras

No optical finder ; LCD practically unusable outdoors ; Manual mode unnecessary as implemented ; Macro mode focus fussiness ; Menu system

The H10 still has a Carl Zeiss 10x zoom (38-380mm in 35mm terms). These high-quality optics distinguish the H10 from other models in this crowded field of 8-plus megapixel compact cameras

The new Sony Cybershot H10 uses a powerful Carl Zeiss 10x optical zoom lens with Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization to capture action at a distance. The lens yields sharp, high-contrast images and reduces color fringing, even when shooting ...

The large, bright 3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus display, and an anti-reflective coating provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight

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 ...

Reliable 'point and shoot' performance, Good image quality in good light ; bright, sharp images with immediate 'consumer friendly' appeal, Powerful flash with slow synch mode, Efficient image stabilization, Good zoom range (although only starting at ...

No real wide angle, Manual mode only offers 2 F-stop settings, Slow, unreliable focus in low light, Only basic external controls, Longwinded menu structure, All-plastic body, Non-standard video/USB connector, Combined effects of noise and noise ...

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 ...

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.

The Sony Cybershot DSC-H10 is an 8 megapixel camera with a 10x Optical Zoom (Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar branded). It features optical image stabilization, ISO range of 80 to 3200, 31 megabytes of internal memory, 3.0 inch LCD, contrast detection ...

Sony announces the compact High-Zoom Cyber-shot DSC-H10 digital camera, measuring only 4-1/4-inches wide by 2-3/4-inches tall by 2-inches deep, and designed to replace the current DSC-H3 model. The DSC-H10 camera features a wider 3-inch Clear Photo ...
