Sony DSC-H2

Pros: AA battery size, 12x optical zoom (with image stabilization), ease of use.

Cons: Slow burst mode, pricey memory media (Memory Stick Duo)

The Bottom Line: Great camera for beginners to experts -- if it doesn't need to fit in your pocket. 12x zoom, image stabilization, and reasonable price are huge pluses.

Review: After owning and/or using a slew of mostly very good to excellent "point and shoot" compact and sub-compact digital cameras, I was yearning for more creative control (e.g., shutter speed and aperture control) -- I was missing my old 35mm film SLR... ...

Pros: Lots of features, fun to use

Cons: Instructions can be unclear at times, no carrying case

The Bottom Line: This camera is totally awesome, it's loaded with features. I recommend one to anybody not going on a very long trip, unless you don't mind buying several memory cards

Review: I got this camera for Christmas, right after I got back from a long trip. Before I went on the trip, I decided I wanted a digital camera, but I didnt know which one. Also, I was torn between 3.5' floppys vs. memory sticks. Although I left on the trip...

Pros: Touch screen, mpeg movie encoding, Picture clarity, and each of use.

Cons: shutter lag in low light pictures.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this camera for anyone looking for a point and shoot that will give near professional quality in a point and shoot.

Review: The camera is simple to operate using only your fingers. I upgraded from a Canon elf s110 model which is only a 2.1 MP. When going to a 10 MP camera there was a great improvement in picture quality. The camera fits in the hand comfortably and with ...

Pros: excellent quality photos, amazing resolution and realism

Cons: Action shots are very difficult

The Bottom Line: It's the perfect camera, except for the shutter delay.

Review: I began looking for a digital camera several months ago. My demands were not terribly specific but I knew I wanted something that had resolution good enough to take photos that looked like the real thing. I wanted a good optical zoom, and enough manual...

Pros: Extremely sharp pictures, Zeiss lens, USB support, good size, huge storage capacity, advanced exposure modes, excellent menu system, good user control, pretty good software,

Cons: Expensive, proprietary technology, not enough manual tweaking for pros, one step below professional quality

Review: Overview

Interestingly, I did not spend much time deciding if I was going to buy the Sony DSC-S70 digital still camera. I went to the store, tried it out, and compared it with all the other available cameras. The whole process took about an...

Pros: Touch screen interface, good sized display on back

Cons: No camera case, the cord connection to camera seems fragile

The Bottom Line: Try it at a store, see if you like the interface. I'll bet you will. I'd buy it again.

Review: I saw Consumer Reports rated this the highest for a camera in this size range, with excellent sharpness. I wanted a nice compact camera for a wedding we were going to, and my old 2MP digital was obsolete. I ordered it online from Dell.com and got a ...

Pros: Great lens. Nice low-light performance. Beautiful vivid colors. Good value used. Professional-looking pictures

Cons: SLOW, but work-arounds are possible. Not a pocket-sized camera. A little heavy.

The Bottom Line: Good value if you can find the DSC-S70 for $200 or less. Consider this trade-off, though: Great pictures vs. speed, with more features on newer cameras.

Review: What a Find! I bought a second-hand DSC-S70 a month ago for $91! I had been wanting to buy a digital camera for personal use, having used several Sony and one Minolta digi-cam at work. I was prepared to put out between $400 & $500 to get the ...

Pros: Super high quality high tech camera

Cons: complicated

Review: If you want an awesome digital camera that requires a high level of technical competency or else a lot of patience scouring the user's manual to sort through the myriad of options and abundance of techno-wiz gadgetry you'll encounter, then, this model is...

Pros: Made me want to get up and shout, "Thank you Sony!"

Cons: Didn't find any

Review: I am on a digital camera journey. I am going to review several of Sony's digital cameras in an effort to educate myself and my readers. I am in the market and if you are reading this, I assume, you are in the market for a digital camera too. These...

Pros: Small, Great Pictures, Relatively Easy to transfer Pictures to your PC

Cons: Slightly Expensive, USB not compatible with Win95, Memory Sticks are expensive for extras

Review: For some reason, in Sony's infinite wisdom, PC Support now also receives support calls for the Digital Cameras. Why? Who knows? We received 4 hours of training on the cameras and then were thrown to the proverbial wolves...gotta love that! :)
