Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5

Advantages: Sony Quality, Carl Zeiss lens, 12x optical zoom, BIG screen!
Disadvantages: Battery life, large if you're used to compacts,

...your hands will make it very hard to leave the shop without it! It oozes quality. First impressions of the Sony H5 will impress on you the physical size of the machine compared to the small and light compacts you and I may have been used to. The wonderful 3" lcd screen dominates the back of the camera making framing and reviewing of shots a pleasure on the eyes, the image is super clear and accurate. It took me a while to suss out all the controls and settings as I'd been used to the Canon's control system but once mastered you'll find it quick and easy to capture the perfect shot. The jog wheel under the shutter release button (similar to SLR cameras) makes changing aperture and shutter speed settings a breeze, especially while using the EVF, means you don't need to take your eye away to look at the buttons, the same information is...

Chokes in low light, Sony CyberShot DSC-S950

Advantages: user friendly, good picture quality, smart looks
Disadvantages: bad focus, problems while shooting in low light

...To be honest I am basically a Sony sound system fanatic simply because I am a person to whom music means a lot, but it is also true I have an inherent weakness for the sony brand name itself. Although I am not a professional photographer but photography does interest me a lot and on top of that there are friends who are professionals in this field. I came across Sony Cybershot DSC-S950 through one of my friends, what attracted me was its silvery looks (not that it is available in silver only, pink and black variations are also available) and since it was there with him I borrowed it in order to try it out for a while. The slick looks impressed me a lot. Over all the quality seemed to me to be quite okay. I got excellent results shooting out doors with rapid shutter speed in IS ISO100 mode, in fact the 4x zoom did not hinder the picture...

CYBER-SHOT (out of this world)

Advantages: Light weight, with plenty features and easy to use.
Disadvantages: slightly Grainy images at extreme ISO ranges

...Here I go again with another camera review, hope I am not boring you all. I own several cameras from basic point and shoot for taking family snaps on days out or holidays to very high spec professional DSLR`s for my work as a professional photographer. Along with all the cameras I own I also use many, many more at my photography club. The Sony cyber-shot range are very good cameras and this is not the first one I have reviewed. I do own a Sony camera but not this particular one. This one is one I have been using at the club recently both to try for my own personal interest but also so I could do a write up on it for the club. I have stringently put this camera through its paces and have been very impressed with my findings. The Sony DSC H3 is an 8 megapixel digital camera with a 10x optical zoom lens. This renders it...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3B

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W100

Advantages: Small, well-built, solid, excellent pictures
Disadvantages: none identified

...PC Sony recommends that the included "Cyber-shot Viewer" Software supplied be installed onto your PC. This will enable you to view pictures on the camera and provided some limited editing feature. I didn't bother. I was quite happy to connect it to my PC using the included USB lead and let Windows do all the work. If you are, like me, running Windows XP the system immediately picks up the connection of a new device, recognises it as a Sony W100 and then prompts what you want to do with it, view files, copy files etc. As I am quite comfortable using Windows Explorer, I viewed the files. I chose to do it this way for one simple reason. I do not usually print my photographs out. I have done, but this has been the exception rather than the rule. I am used to how my monitor displays pictures and am more likely to pick up any problems by...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170

Advantages: yes
Disadvantages: no

...really impressed me is the ISO high sensitivity setting. On my old camera any images I took in the twilight hours were extremelly dark and were unsalvagable, but with the sony cybershot I no longer have this problem! The ISO setting uses any light it can detect to enhance the resultant image. Excellant for those evening shots of the scenary on holiday to make all your friends jealous! The user menus on this camera are really easy to use and even offer a slideshow of the images on the memory to music!! A rechargable battery comes as standard with this camera and can be recharged via the charger supplied which gives youplenty of charge to go snapping all day long! Overall I am really impressed with this camera it has given me some fantastic pictures. It does take a short while to familiarise yourself with the different setting and also there is...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 Great Camera

Advantages: Great Picture Quality
Disadvantages: Internal Memory

...The great Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130, superb digital camera with 8 megapixel camera brilliant picture quality, it retails around £190, which is good for what you get, lets start with the design; Rounded corners and an attractive brushed metal front plate .It uses small circular buttons for menu control, the buttons are laid out comfortably around the camera's direction pad and feel much more accessible to large-thumbed users.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S650

Advantages: compact, light, great quality pictures and movie, good macro and zoom functions
Disadvantages: lacks internal memory, need a memory card

...The Sony Cyber shot 'DSC - S650' is a 7.2 megapixel digital camera with 3 times optical zoom and a high ISO sensitivity of 1000. I love this camera i have had it for a year now and i haven't had any problems, its power consumption is very good, can last for hours at a time, even whilst continually videoing, and it is very compact. It has a range of modes which include; auto, high sensitivity, soft snap (for shooting with a soft background), low light portrait, twilight (low light scene without flash), landscape, beach, snow, movie mode and programmable. All of which produce superb results. The menus are all very clear and self explanatory, and the screen is very large and clear for viewing and editing images. It is compatible very well with windows and mac and comes with the appropriate software. The macro function is fantastic...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S650

SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-W5 A DURABLE LITTLE TANK OF A CAMERA

Advantages: Durable, not flimsy, great outdoor shots in sunlight
Disadvantages: Night and candlelight shots could use improvement

...The SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-W5 is a 5.1 megapixel digital camera that has most of the standard SONY CYBERSHOT features, which I do not want to elaborate here because that can be read in the specs and by anyone. I want to emphasize in my review that this camera will last you a good while, and that you will most probably get a good return on your investment. Although this camera - by today's ever-shrinking digital camera size standards - falls short due to its bulkiness and boxy exterior, its performance and durability allows all shortcomings to be forgiven. I have had this camera for almost 4 years now, and it has survived countless traumatic drops, rolls, falls, and the constant curious prodding, poking, and even throwing at the hands of my two toddlers. Everytime I picked up the camera and checked to make sure everything was working, it did...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W5

Capture the perfct shot, with Sony Cyber-shot.

Advantages: Great zoom, and clear pictures.
Disadvantages: Quite highly priced, and not likely to be returned to you if you loose it.

...optical zoom you can capture subjects from the distance, I didn't truly appreciate this until I'd lost this camea, and bought the Nixon Coolpix, of wich i would not recommend to anyone, it is significantly cheaper, but this shows in the quality of the pictures, the nikon coolpix s slim, and extremely lightweight, (Sony cyber-shot is neither, weighing 135g) but the Nikon's zoom, lacks any greatness. The sony cyber-shot is a great first hand camera, with easy to use features and simple, clear instructions. The buttons are clearly marked with what they are for, and overall this is a great camera, of which I was gutted to loose, and would love to have again....
