Strengths: Just about everything - and the pictures are great Made in Japan (something that you cannot find in any review) with very good build quality
Weakness: Slow recovery for flash shots - but not all that bad
Got this camera after reading many reviews and comments from both professional reviewers and users - and chose it over the Canon, Panasonic and Fuji counterparts- Glad that I did - because am very happy with the performance and outcome of the resulting pictures- We took three cameras on our latest cruise - two Fujis and the Sony - and the Sony outperformed the other two 10 to 1!! Have found that...
Strengths: Professional look, Quality of Photographs, Ease of Use.
Weakness: View Screen exposability
Sony has a great product with this camera. Puts out professional looking photographs. Convenient dial on top which displays all the photo settings and convenient placement of any and every button you might need. Some of the weaknesses of this camera might actually be considered its strength. You have to work for the best possible quality photo. Adjust the lighting, brightness, etc.. This...
Strengths: SO MANY - Fast focus, lots of manual controls, excellent flash range, great macro, LARGE LCD screen, good image stabilization, AF assist beam, 12x zoom, nice extras in the box.
Weakness: POOR AUTO FOCUS IN movie mode, shutter lag in flash mode, uses 2 batteries instead of 4, no provision for external flash (However, the powerful built-in flash is probably all you will ever need!)
I bought both the Sony DSC-H1 and the Canon S2 IS 12X zoom cameras and after a 5 day side-by-side trial I decided to keep the Sony. The DSC-H1 has a great build, nice layout, and a well thought out interface. This camera may have a few less bells and whistles than the Canon, but it has everything I need to take great pictures and I love reviewing them in the large 2" LCD screen! Since the...
Strengths: Solid comfortable case (metal-not all plastic). 12x optical zoom with short lens movement. Lens protector included in package. Very nice video/sound capture at 640x480 resolution. Stable long range.
Weakness: Battery life shorter than Sony LiOh battery packs (uses AA rechargeable batteries). Camera comes with 1 set batteries and detached charger. Unable to change zoom while taking movies.
Solid feel to camera. Nice protection for lens comes with camera. Takes GREAT long range shots when using the automatic image stablizer. Movies are excellent with the larger 640x480 format. Flash auto pops up and shoots red beam at short range objects so you can see where the camera is looking for focus and picture center, nice feature. I looked at others with 12x zoom and did not like the...
Strengths: attractive body; available manual options; great image quality; great image stabilization; uses standard rechargeable batteries with charger included
Weakness: uses less popular and more expensive memory sticks; occasionally noticeable purple fringing at 12x zoom
I bought this camera from a recent dell.com deal for around $350. My candidates also included the Canon S2 IS and Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the camera. Its black hand grip and titanium-color body is extremely attractive and modern. To me, it looks better than the Canon and Panasonic ones. Image quality is great, and image stabilization works as...
Strengths: Solid case, good LCD screen, uses standard size batteries, well positioned menu and other buttoms, nice design, great zoom and image stabilizer, good lens cap, fast startup, great to hold
Weakness: needs the more expensive memory sticks, uses lots of battery , size (too bulky for a pocket)
Don't have the camera very long yet but it is just great. The main thing I don't like is the size. Compared to my previous Sony DSC-P10 I can;t just slide this camera into my pocket. But hey - now I got the nice 12x zoom which kicks some butt. The image stabilizer works really well, I managed to get almost all pictures will full zoom still sharp. I like the way the camera lies in the hand - it is...
Strengths: Professional options at a great price. Has functioned great both indoors and at the beach. Great pix and movies. I highly recommend it for those with intermediate photo taking experience.
Weakness: Almost to many features to manage when you need a quick picture. High resolution pix plus movies will zap memory storage in a hurry. Need >= 250MB memory stick or will be constantly downloading pix!
Very pleased and satisfied with camera as I would expect with a Sony product. I already had a memory stick from another Sony product but if you don't, you should factor that into your cost. So far I haven't experienced any fringing with the SLR lens but some photo sites recommend the lens filter for some applications. Sound and movie quality is good even though it is not highlighted very much in...
Strengths: 12x optical zoom; large lcd display; very solid feel (not all cheap plastic); Sony quality; uses simple AA batteries; beautiful pictures
Weakness: None so far
This camera is absolutely wonderful! I am so glad I purchased this camera. This is my very first digital camera purchase. I wanted something that is going to grow with my demands. I saw all the great reviews this camera has been receiving and felt very confident that this camera was NOT going to dissapoint me - and so far I was right. This camera uses regular AA batteries, which I feel is a big...
Strengths: 12x optical zoom, many photo options for price. Great night shots. Deals with sun well.
Weakness: A bit larger than I wanted. It would be nice to have a smaller camera.
This camera has a great functionality for a relatively small price. The pictures come out very crisp and very clear. I think the one main improvement is to make it more portable and to include a larger internal memory card.

As the digital camera market matures and consumers want better cameras, more people are growing tired of their 3x optical zoom lenses. Enter the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H1. This digital camera has a 12x optical zoom lens with the option of attaching wide angle and telephoto conversion lenses. It also has 5.1 megapixels, which is enough juice to pump out 11 x 17-inch prints. The H1 heads up Sony’s...

This bulky model features a 12X optical zoom with optical image stabilization, but overall image quality was mediocre.
Top
While Sony has made long-zoom, image-stabilized cameras in the past (starting with the original FD91 back in 2000), we haven't heard from them in this area for quite some time. Now, the new Sony DSC-H1 makes an impressive return to the category, apparently employing updated anti-shake technology. (The H1's lens assembly is much less bulky than that of the earlier image-stabilized models.) The...

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H1 is a very good ultra zoom camera that isn't quite as good as the best models in this class (the Panasonic FZ5 and FZ20), mainly because of its above average purple fringing levels. It does offer a lot, though, and if you look past the purple fringing you'll find a very capable camera.

Great camera at in affordable price range
Strengths: This camera has lots of settings, the 48 times zoom is assume, and the macro delivers clear crisp shots.
Weakness: None
I saw this camera at around 320.00 and at that price you can't beat extras that come with this unit. The camera comes with a charger w/ batteries, lens hood, lens cap and lens adapter. I was considering the Canon S2 IS but after comparing both display screens, the Sony had a much clearer display, while Canon's was washed out and grainy. I took pictures of my daughter's graduation, we were in the...
