| Love this camera...not an expert at taking pictures, but this camera makes it a breeze. More than a simple point and shoot...has several different modes to adapt to your shooting preferences. Simply the best as far as I am concerned. |

| I did alot of research on cameras...I finally decided on the sony.....this camera takes awsome photos....I searched for accessories on Amazon and found an extra battery, carrying case, memory stick and protective film for lcd screen.... very cheap on Amazon...when you set the camera to easy ...just press the button ...and it does it all for you...the features to take a nice photo are amazing....the H20 blows away my last digital camera ...which was a sony dsc p72....I highly recommend this camera if you can find it |

| I have searched for a small portable camera to use on trips where my Canon EOS and lenses become cumbersome. I have gone through about four small digitals in four years -- Nikon, Canon, etc, but finally found one that takes excellent shots and has great manual settings too! The supplier through Amazon.com (bought it used) was timely and the product was in excellent condition! Would use him again! |
 An Excellent All-Around Camera! |

Let me at first list the pros and cons I've found on the Sony DSC-H20:
Pros:
1- Amazing picture quality.
2- Amazing 10X zoom.
3- Very Easy to use.
4- Manual mode so you can control the shutter speed and aperture.
5- Macro mode is great!!
6- Very clear LCD screen
7- Great 720p HD stabilized video functionality even in low light it captures a very good video.
Cons:
1- Bad picture quality on ISO 800 and 1600.
2- you can't fully control the aperture in manual mode. you can only benefit from changing the shutter speed.
3- maximum aperture of 3.5.
4- Low battery life. you've to buy another one to save your day.
5- the sound of the video isn't that great.
6- it doesn't shoot RAW.
7- doesn't come with a bag.
I've been using this camera for a almost a year now. it was my first digital camera. and I absolutely LOVED IT!! it worths every penny! it has a great video functionality that's extremely helpful when I travel and be with friends and wanna capture those great moments. the stabilized 10X zoom is AWESOME! I can shoot at 10X and don't get shake images. the image quality is great! pictures are very clear. but it also has some few disadvantages. the 800 and 1600 ISO are bad and noisy. I find that camera useless at night. and it doesn't have manual focus which made me very uncomfortable. but it auto-focuses very well!. the maximum aperture is 3.5 and I don't have full manual control over aperture. the battery life isn't that good. I had to buy another battery to be able to use the camera in a whole event. it also doesn't come with a bag. and it's a little big to be put in your pocket.
a final word, I really enjoyed using this camera and it helped me much developing my photography skills.
it's excellent for walking and traveling. an excellent walk-around camera if you want a point and shoot that's capable of doing extremely good things. but not if you want manual focus and high ISO capability.
I guess I'm keeping it even if I moved toward a DSLR. at least for it's amazing video function and the zoom range. I loved it!
Highly Recommended :) :) |

| I have used many Sony products in the past and been very satisfied so when this camera was recommended to me by Dell I felt confident in buying it. Overall the camera did a good job for my needs. I was never entirely pleased with the color of shots taken indoors but it did a great job outside in daylight. I live in Missouri and the humidity levels are high but I have never experienced a problem with electronic devices before. One week before my 1 year warranty expired the camera started displaying a message to turn the camera off and on again to reset it. I contacted Sony and was told to go to the website and follow technical instructions and see if I could reset it. I was unable to accomplish this so I sent it to their repair facility in Laredo TX. I was told the camera had "corroded" and thus the warranty was voided and that it would cost $600 to repair the camera that I paid approximately $250 for brand new! I was shocked!! I spoke to three different representatives of Sony (only one of whom spoke understandable English) and in the end I was told there was nothing else they could do to help me. What a waste of good money on a camera that I expected years of use from! What poor customer service, how on earth can a $250 camera require $600 worth of parts?! The camera must be extremely fragile and sensitive to "corrode" in such a short time, I handled it very carefully and took extremely good care of it. I will never buy a Sony product again. |

I've always used small compact digital cameras with the standard 3x optical zoom. I would definitely recommend this camera if your looking to take a step up to better quality more professional pictures.
If you've used digital cameras in the past, then you shouldn't have any trouble operating this camera.
Yes, it does have a lens cap attached with a string. At first it was a little annoying, but I got used to it. It protects the lens and stays in place well.
My favorite parts of the camera are the 10x optical zoom and the fact that it takes pictures very quickly. It's fast speed is great for taking pictures of children who are constantly on the move.
It's not as portable as those compact cameras but is still small enough to carry in a purse or larger pocket.
I would recommend this camera to anyone who has even a little experience with digital cameras. Its easy to use and takes incredible pictures! |

I have this camera for about 7 months now and have taken about 1000 pictures. I mainly take pictures of my kids & family. I love it.
Pros : a) Great battery life. b) Great picture quality outside in bright light. Overall very nice crisp clear picture quality. c) Nice zoom which I think has been sufficent for me. d) LCD 3.0 is very pleasing. e) Menu is very easy and navigable.
Cons: a) Since it uses memory card which is rather unusual , I need adaptor cable to see/copy photos. I wish the card size was little larger. b) Cable location is at the bottom . You have keep camera on lens cap to stay still while copying/watching photos through USb cable. c) Pictures at night in dark may be blury. I had to learn a bit what different modes offered to get better picture quality.
Overall nice camera. I recommend to buy it. |
This camera will not make you friends amongst bird-spotters

Warning: This camera will cause bird and other wildlife spotters to ignore you. The main issue is that they will be walking around with gear that cost them an arm and a leg, trying to make out if that bird on that tree a mile off is really a rare eagle of some sort. You will whip out your compact camera, take a picture, zoom in and identify the common sparrow!
For its size and prize, this camera is packed full of features, and remarkably easy to use! It's good for landscapes and incredible for macros. Highly recommended... if you don't mind being ignored by "twitchers"! |
Best 1 Yet!!!!

| Perfect Camera, I have tried many and this by far had the best picture quality compared to some of greater MP. Zoom quality of pictures was extremely crisp. Best cam so far. A++++ |
