Summary: Sony DSCH10
Comment: Found this camera very easy to use and focus. Produces excellent pictures. Though there may be better more sophisticated camers, the DSCH10 is small and light making it easy to use and transport.

Summary: Sony Rules
Comment: When I purchased this camera, it was a toss up between the Sony and the Canon G9 (Not a Panasonic fan so the Lumix was not an option). Although the Canon has more megapixels and costs a hundred or so more, I found the Sony to be the better choice. The Sony is more compact and lightweight, and offers more optical zoom than the Canon. Obviously I am not a professional photographer, but as a dad with three children this was the better choice for me for sports, concerts, special moments, and the like. It is a great camera for the buyer who wants both the auto feature with a great deal of zoom, and for the more more experienced and adventerous shooter who seeks out manual controls. It is not a pocket-sized camera, but it is very compact for the features it offers. I uploaded two photos (Bumble Bee and Zucchini) that I ordered in 5x7 prints and the quality and clarity amazed me. This is my second Cyber-Shot and I am completely satisfied. Cybershot H10 8.1 Megapixel Digital Camera Black

Summary: Compared several and this is the keeper!
Comment: I tried several cameras before deciding to stick with this one. Other cameras I tried were the Canon sx100is, Panasonic Lumix TZ4, Kodak Easyshare Z712, and finally the Canon S5. I really expected to like the Canon S5 the best, but this little camera out shot the Canon in most all conditions. The Sony, in my opinion, gave me the ability to quickly take pictures that consistently turned out well. The video is nice quality as long as you use the 'fine' mode. This is a nice little camera and I enjoy using it!

Summary: Sweet zoom!
Comment: This camera has enabled me to take equally great photos at my kids' Little League games and when out seeing bands - and so much more. The videos are awesome. All-around easy to use point-and-shoot with excellent zoom ability. A good option before the SLR-like model step.

Summary: BEWARE if you upgraded your computer from XP to Windows Vista...
Comment: THE WARNING:
A Sony camera requires investment for its special accessories: special battery and charger instead of a convenient AA rechargeable ones, memory stick instead of convenient SD cards, etc. So, if Sony wants a world for itself I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT ITS DRIVER'S SOFTWARE DOES NOT WORK on operating systems that were upgraded from XP to Windows Vista.
I am "upgrading" from Canon... from which I never had problems on software, could recharge any time with any charger, use my plenty of SD cards, which are readable in almost all laptops, not like the memory sticks ones, for which generally you require an adaptor.
This "tiny failure" is not mentioned on the Sony package. It just ways it works on Vista. But it does not work on Upgraded to Vista. They should warn. You need to pay for the camera (and memory sticks and for one extra battery) and start shooting around, before you come across with the failure when trying to download your gorgeous pictures to your computer... until then you will spend plenty of time trying to make your computer recognizes your camera, with no results. I tried everything (install, uninstall, system restore, delete other drivers, change the mass storage option on the memory stick, try to bridge the pictures from an hp printer, you name it).
This is the response I got from Sony: "I'm really sorry for the difficulty you're experiencing to transfer the recordings from your Sony camera to your computer running Windows Vista Operating System. Even though the USB interface of the camera is compatible with the Windows Vista Operating System, the operation cannot be guaranteed if the Operating System is upgraded." I am sure by now that this "principle" applies to all cyber shot cameras or any other Sony product ([...]).
Upgraded to Windows Vista is something I am not proud of. I have had many problems, (as plenty of people). But what should Sony expect us to do? It was a major investment (plenty of accessories!). I have to borrow another computer to get my pictures downloaded (Windows Vista upgraded users: beware even more, is not easy to find a compatible card reader!).
The software for the organization, edition and store the pictures is great, it works for me. The failure is in the software of the driver that allows your computer to detect your Sony camera.
Now, for THE PRODUCT ITSELF:
PROS: Big screen, great zoom, lightweight, conventional cap, great flash, many features even fancy ones (music and so).
CONS: Too many features (is ok only when you become familiar), the lack of proper software for the driver (major defect for windows vista upgraded users).
It is a good camera, something not pro, but with so many features that you'll feel like a pro. Specially the zoom (10x, wow!). The big screen, despite delicate, helps to detect blurs that cannot be easily appreciated in smaller screens (it gets greasy easily, so use a plastic screen protector). However, I would qualify the zoom, at its full length, with an 8, so far. Sometimes it is blurry (very little, but is), and sometimes not (in similar conditions shots), so I guess that it is not a 100% steady, but is ok considering its competitors (minor zoom and even more sensitive to movement). Just hold it firmly.
The lack of built-cap I cannot be sure if it is one of the "cons" because I had two Canon before this Sony and both suffered damage in its cap at any point (It did not close properly, it bended, did not open, etc.), so an old fashioned cap is ok as long as you fix a thread (are many on the market) to avoid losing it.
I like the flash also. It is strong, long and has different ways to use it: there is one that allows illuminating the whole scene, instead of just the proximity, so it is very useful for indoor pictures. You'll get beautifully illuminated interiors, with or without people. This is different from my previous Canon cameras.
It takes time to become a pro in the use of all its features. It has plenty. If you just want to focus and shot, then buy something less expensive. The features are promisingly great, but I am not so fast using it, I take my time. If you are going to a trip, is better that you become more than familiar with this little thing before so it can do a great job. Otherwise you will find yourself shooting in automatic all the time, and if that is so, why this camera then?
Camera: ***** (all in all). Driver compatibility: (zero). Total: ***

Zoom in and capture all the action with the H10. This full-featured point-and-shoot camera shines with outstanding high-power zoom capability and Advanced Sports mode for split-second detail. It includes Face Detection technology to optimize focus, exposure and color for up to eight faces. Snap incredibly clear photos with 8.1-Megapixel Resolution, and enjoy tight close-ups with the 10x optical zoom Carl Zeiss lens. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures auto-focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. The large, bright 3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus display tilts up for comfortable low-angle shooting, and an anti-reflective coating provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight. To capture fast-moving subjects in split-second detail, this innovative shooting mode combines high shutter speed up to 1/4000 second with Intelligent Continuous AF that responds more quickly to rapid motion. You can fire off three shots automatically at 1-second intervals (VGA standard mode) or 2-second intervals (full resolution mode). Focal Length - 6.3-63.0mm (35mm Equivalent 38 - 380 mm) Self-Timer - 10 seconds, 2 seconds, and off White Balance - Automatic, Cloudy, Daylight, Fluorescent 1, Fluorescent 2, Fluorescent 3, Incandescent, and Flash Movie Modes - MPEG VX Fine with Audio (640x480 at 30fps), MPEG VX Standard with Audio (640x480 at 16.6fps), and QVGA (320x240 at 8.3fps) Scene Modes - Advanced Sports Shooting, Beach, Fireworks, High Sensitivity, Landscape, Snow, Soft Snap, Twilight, and Twilight Portrait Flash Modes - Auto, Forced On, Forced Off, and Slow Synch
