Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20

 

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20

First-rate design; simple operation; excellent feature-to-price ratio.

Narrow lens; lens cap is a pain.

If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is a new super-zoom digital camera, offering a 10x image stabilized Carl Zeiss lens covering a focal range of 38-380mm, housed in a compact, go-anywhere package. Other key features of the Sony H20, successor to last year's...

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is much more than an incremental upgrade to last year's H10. With this camera, Sony has demonstrated that it is a company which listens to user feedback, as most of the issues we criticised the H10 for have been addressed....

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20

 

Relatively light and compact ; HD video in 720p format ; Can use optical zoom when filming ; Long telephoto coverage for the money

Poor high ISO performance ; Slow flash recharge ; No exposure compensation button ; Poor wide angle performance

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an affordable super-zoom compact with a 10x stabilised lens and HD video recording capabilities. Slightly larger than the average compact, it's nonetheless smaller than most cameras with zooms of this range and will fit...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20

 

Great handling rather than a fist full of features make this super-zoom a good choice

A great value camera with enough features to cope with a variety of subjects. But the main strength of the H20 is it's handling, which is first rate.

Sony DSC H20

 

This is a neat, compact digital camera offering extra zoom. Picture quality is good and the movie mode is advanced too. I like the design of the camera and there is a manual exposure mode as well.

Extra zoom at lower resolutions - HD movies with zoom and stereo sound - compact design - 3 inch LCD screen

Not much memory to get you started

The Sony Cybershot DSC H20 gets most things right. There is plenty of competition, but this camera provides a reliable alternative to models from Panasonic and Canon.
