Sony DSC-H1 Cyber-shot Digital Camera: Excellent entry level SLR-style Digital camera

by Gr8ful Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, May 31 '06
Pros: Excellent quality photos, great battery life, 32MB onboard memory
Cons: Learning takes time, be prepared to read the manual... a lot.
Before I begin, I would like to say that until last summer my experience with digital cameras was limited to two previous cameras that were neither high quality nor high priced. I had always though that trying to learn how to effectively operate and use ...

Small & Sleek & Ready for Action - Sony's Newest Camera

by ldusold Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 20 '05
Pros: Everything about this camera is AWESOME
Cons: I haven't found any yet!!!
I recently started shopping for a new camera, not that there was anything wrong with the one that I had, but I just felt that I wanted to get away from the mini cd's and go with something with a memory stick. Of course if I'm going to buy a new camera, ...

A high quality point and shoot camera, but does not compare to a DSLR.

by spacehiker , Mar 03 '08
Pros: Excellent manual modes and settings, you can attach 58mm filters and add-on lenses.
Cons: Quality is not up to SLR standards.
I have had my DSC-H1 for nearly 2 years now, and I have to say it has been a great learning experience. This is a great learning camera because it is one of the few “point and shoot” digital cameras that features fully manual operation. My interest ...

Sony's H1 - 12X Zoom With True SLR Feel

by truegenius , Jan 11 '06
Pros: 12X zoom lens, solid feel, good photo quality, excellent controls
Cons: Automatic mode is too powerful, not letting you control anything; concerns about low-light shots
BACKGROUND It’s funny how six months can change your perspective on things. Back in February of 2005, I bought FujiFilm’s latest effort, the S5100. Six months later, there was an image sensor problem that caused every low-light photo ...

Great quality photos!

by michelyne , Mar 07 '07
Pros: Great quality, good focus, lots of a features, and more.
Cons: Takes practice to understand settings. Capture speed is kind of slow.
We bought this camera last Christmas and love it! We have a four month old now and I am constantly taking pictures of him. We had a film camera before and I can’t imagine going back. I love being able to take multiple shots and not having to worry ...

awesome zoom ratio, great autofocus, great image quality - a few cons so far

by ima_photofan8 , Apr 18 '06
Pros: GREAT zoom range, image stabilization is WONDERFUL, B-I-G LCD screen, very adaptable
Cons: SIX hours to charge batteries! Supplied lens hood and adapter partially blocks flash
I bought the Cyber shot a few days ago after much research and thought vs. the competion. I've really been impressed so far. A while back I used a 35mm for years which I sold and regretted, but think I'll have a lot of fun with the Cyber Shot. ...

The Sony DSC-H1 Digital Camera: An Ideal Choice For Sports & Nature lovers!

by camlover , Jul 09 '06
Pros: Amazing battery life, huge LCD, 12x stabilized zoom, decent image quality
Cons: Bulky, slow battery charging, Memory Stick media not included
The chunky $400 Cyber-shot DSC-H1 is one of those cameras that, despite the bulk, is remarkably easy to hold. Thanks to the extra large rubberized right-hand grip that it has been blessed with. It's loaded with quite a few nifty features too. First ...

Great consumer long zoom camera

by dphilli , Mar 05 '07
Pros: Great picture quality, Big zoom with effective steadyshot, Useable controls
Cons: Slow flash re-charge time, bright flash, Poor focus on video, 30fps only video
I use a camera mainly for family/activity shots. This is my first digital camera and I was concerned about the transition from APS to the digital format, but the DSC-H1 did not disappoint. The camera takes great photos most of the time - at least as ...

Sony - maybe the last camera I will need

by escarcha , Mar 23 '07
Pros: Great quality picture Good zoom
Cons: none yet
My husband and I had researched many digital cameras before deciding on the Sony Cyber-Shot. We previously were using a Olympus digital 3.1megapixel and 3X zoom so a higher meg and longer zoom was important to us. This Sony is a 6 megapixel camera ...

SONY CYBER-SHOT DH-I STEADY SHOT

by dano3 , Mar 02 '08
Pros: 12X zoom; Macro; User friendly; Reliable; Sony Quality; HUGE viewfinder
Cons: Flash delay irritating; time lapse between shots slow; some features hard to understand
I am not a professional photographer, nor was I worried about all the technical aspects of the camera. I just wanted a great camera to capture my photos without much difficulty. I bought the DH-1 one week before going to Sedona, AZ. The manual is not ...

excellent camera

by jnaylor82 , Jun 29 '07
Pros: large lcd screen, easy to use
Cons: a little large, plastic lens adapter seems a bit cheap
I bought this camera about a year ago. When I bought it, I didn't know very much about digital photography. The main reason I bought this camera was for the zooming capability but after using it I discovered it offers so much more. First off, the ...

I am very happy with this purchase

by alexisdyck , Feb 20 '07

Cons: Too many features - if you can consider that a con....
This is a great camera. We have had it for a while now and I still have not figured out how to use many of its functions. Not because it is tricky to operate but because there are many options and I just haven't got around to reading through the manual ...

by donnac218 , Jan 04 '08
Pros: Long battery life, professional results, many options
Cons: maybe too many options!
I have had this camera for several years now and do not regret the purchase at all. I had an HP digital camera beforehand, and really like it up until it quit. My husband got this camera for me as a a replacement and it is a much superior camera! I ...
