Summary

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3
First generation of Sony's unusually styled 10x zoom compact cameras is equipped with an 8MP sensor and a 38-380mm equiv. zoom, and features such as Face Detection, Optical Image Stabilization and HDTV output (albeit using an optional composite video cable or Cyber-shot Station dock). Compared to most recent cameras in this class the H20's lens is biased far more towards the tele end, which is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on the type of thing you want to shoot. Image quality is pretty good but the lack of wideangle is disappointing. Since replaced by the H10 and H20. (April 2009)
