2-year old model - still going strong
Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H1 by razzda

Advantages: practical, instant feedback, user friendly menu, image stabilizer, Sony quality
Disadvantages: limitation of time exposure peaks, some vignetting, Sony proprietary-only accessories

...I have had this Sony Cybershot camera for more than a year now and I still find it the best choice I have made so far on digital cameras. My plan is to upgrade to Canon EOS 400D, but I have the feeling my H1 hasn't shown me everything she can yet. I must say I only had pleasant surprises to-date. First of all is very practical to use. It fits in my hand perfectly. The menu (like in most Sony consumer products) is easy to understand and highly intuitive. ...
...lens is a an original Sony lens, and not the Carl Zeiss lenses Sony have used on later models (H2 and H5 for instance). The zoom is 10x optical and works very well. The focus is fast and precise, even in low light. And last but not least, the image stabilizer that helped me save elegantly many photos I did not believe would come out well. One other thing that is helpful is the 2.5in LCD display that gives you not only instant and clear feedback about ... Read review

Sony Cyber-sh*t DSC-H2 (harsh but true)
Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2 by mashed_marc

Advantages: Price - Good zoom
Disadvantages: Shutter button - image size - ISO settings

Theres alot i have to say about this camera, if you are considering buying this then i recommend you to read it all, good and bad. I'm going to start with the bad points, because if you are planning on buying this camera the bad points really do need to be heard! I'm going to start with the fact that I've had the camera for 7 months and its broken, the shutter button has give in, its lost its spring and can no longer be pressed making the camera ...
...to believe that this isn't a one off problem. Thats the main bad point, other problems i have with the camera are; 6 megapixels isn't enough these days. High ISO settings are just too noisy to use. Takes AA batteries, and eats through them. Made to look more expensive than it is. Its not all doom and gloom, good points are; For a digital camera, the movie setting is good. The zoom is good for what is basically a compact camera, not a D SLR. ... Read review

My first Minolta and Im Hooked !!!
Review of Minolta DiMAGE Z1 by dottymardon

Advantages: Great quality,Great Design, brilliant allover
Disadvantages: a little big

Well I bought this nifty camera about Eight months back and I am still experiancing the wow effect. The camera has the best battery life I have ever experianced. Normal batteries will last about three weeks while my rechargables last me at least a month-Thats great. The other evening I went and watched Maroon 5 play live.I was up in the seating area,with this wonderful zoom,I could see the piece of meat still in Adam Levines teeth. I got some amaizing ...
...clips are not 100 %, but then again this is not a video camera !!! People sitting behind me were so amaized that they gave me there e mail address and begged me to forward the pics onto them. After a day,anyone will know how to operate the camera, It looks great, sounds good, good quality, excellent battery life, What more would you want from a good affordable camera. The only disadvantage is that its a bit bulky, men who carry it around in a ... Read review

Minolta DiMAGE Xt
Review of Minolta DiMAGE Xt by astoupp

Advantages: Daylight photos and battery
Disadvantages: Night photos

This machine will be your best friend. Especially if you don't have a mobile that take photos. You can carry with you easy cause to the small size. Perfect image colours for the daylight photos but not the same for the night especially if you try to take photo people further than 2 meters due to the week flash. The battery last longer than other cameras cause the optical zoom is internal (Minolta pattern) and the LCD screen at the back is small(less ...
...that last with less money is a good selection. Definitely there are better cameras with better night photos. But is difficult to find any camera to take photos at night. Tip for nights photos don't use the flash. Press the button for photo and wait . Try this to take photo a town from above at night. It needs 30 second to take a photo like that but the result is perfect. Have fun. ... Read review

Definately recommended
Review of Samsung Digimax S700 by SoppySista

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Too many features to explore

...buying iot to replace another Samsung one that broke after dropping it a few too many times. This one seems to be slightly sturdier, and unlike many camera now, it is not too thin and delicate that you think that you will break it. The screen is quite big, so you can see the pictures quite clearly before loading them onto the computer, and also you havw the facility to crop your photos when looking at them on the screen. There are many features on ...
...a normal photo is easy to do, with good qualtiy photos, and a very good zoom. The video feature on the cmaera works very well, and unlike other cameras that I have used before, there is a good sound quality that comes with them. Only thing I would say is that they do take up a lot of space on your memory card.I would recommend buying this camera, especially for somebody that wants good quality photos for a reasonable price, and without too much hassle. ...
