Sony Cyber-shot DSCH50 9.1 MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Reviews

Summary: Great Little Camera
Comment: I upgraded from a Sony DSCH5 with 7.2 MP and am very pleased with this camera. I used it at our annual holiday party and got great shots. Having a remote is a real bonus for group shots that include me. I am used to having nightshot capability which I didn't have with the H5. This one has it and now I can take shots of our pond in the Spring with the frogs & toads serenading with their little throats throbbing. Taking video is great too. I would highly recommend this camera. It's small enough to carry with me most of the time and get those unexpected shots otherwise missed.

Summary: Outstanding!
Comment: This camera is simply amazing. I love the kinds of control that is given with the camera, and the interface that is offered with the camera is outstandingly easy to use and understand.
With some of the shots that I've taken, especially some of my first, they look SPECTACULAR. In general, many of the shots that I've taken look 'picture-perfect'. The high resolution of the photos make the pictures look spectacular, and some of the ones I've taken - especially since I'm more of a scenery shot person - look surreal, and I really enjoy the way the shots came out.

I especially love how it's considered to be a 'bridge' camera, so that way it already has its own built-in lens and the ability to install and attach its own Sony lens, which will come to be very useful eventually.

All in all, this is an amazing camera.

Summary: Just What I ordered
Comment: Based on the other reviews I would say that this product is exactly what I thought I was going to get. It proved to be a great camera for artistic macro photography, and relatively good for every day use. The one downside for me is the delay, but if I didn't want that I should have ordered an SLR. Also the accessories for this camera are clumsy and not very useful, don't buy any of the extra lenses.

Summary: Here comes Grandma
Comment: The Sony DSCH50 was purchased as an upgrade to my Canon A80 digital camera that I've used for the past 5 years (not interested in an SLR camera). Although I loved my Canon, my young granddaughter became quicker than the shutter button (the Energizer bunny has nothing on her!). The Burst mode is perfect and I can control the number of shots taken. The Zoom is also great for the wildlife in my area. Wish I had this camera last Spring when a fox family took up residence under our shed (Mama fox didn't want me close to her babies).

I'm still figuring out all the functions but find the Menu and Control buttons to be fairly intuitive. I like having separate buttons for the most used features (zoom, burst, nightshot, playback). The Slideshow button (w/music) is also a nice feature.

The lens cap is a bit of an annoyance since I always forget to remove--first--before turning on the camera. Waiting for Sony to get an LCD screen protector for this model since I'm not sure about how to protect the screen from accidental scratches.

Overall, I'm excited about my Sony DSCH50 digital camera and Amazon had the best price (along with free shipping). What a pair!
