Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 review

 

For the Cyber-shot DSC-H10 budget megazoom camera, Sony didn't change much from its predecessor, the Cyber-shot DSC-H3 . Only its 230,000-pixel 3-inch LCD is new, compared with the 115,000-pixel, 2.5-inch version on the H3. Given the lack of an...

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

No semimanual 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 megazoom that can deliver very nice outdoor shots, but its photo quality falls short in other respects.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 Concise Review

 

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 38mm)...

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 reduction at...

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. So it won't come as a surprise that this...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10

 

The 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, there are better, lower-priced options out there.

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.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10

 

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...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 Review

 

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...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 Review

 

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is extremely similar to the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 and shares most of the features, specifications, and attributes with the latter model. It is a little over an ounce heavier, likely due to the 3-inch LCD instead of the...

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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10

 

Big zoom, no noticeable barrel-roll, useful program modes

Soft images, plenty of chromatic aberration, spongy shutter button

This camera has a big zoom for its size, and features some useful program modes and manual setting possibilities, but if you want super-crisp photos at a resolution higher than 1600x1200, you'll want to look elsewhere.
