The Sony Cybershot DSC H5 How does it compare with the S3, FZ7, and Z612?

byHoward_Creech Jul 14, 2006
120 Helpfuls 121 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very good image quality, stabilized 12X zoom, 3.0 inch LCD screen, and good ergonomics
Cons Mediocre battery life, No RAW or TIFF format, and above average chromatic aberration.
Recommended it? Yes

One of the hottest battles in the digital camera wars is currently being waged in the monster zoom digicam market. Most monster zoom digicams provide users with a wide range (10X-12X) image stabilized zoom, much of the flexibility and control of a dSLR, and all the convenience and ease of use of a...

One of my friends just purchased this new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5 digital camera and asked me to check it out to see if it was worth it or not. I had used this camera for a week before he came and took it away from me. This camera costs about $500 (but I think my friend paid about $400) and is one... Read full review »

Pros Good optics, image quality, features, battery life, build quality, large LCD
Cons Price, speed, size
Recommended it? Yes

I used both the 5- Megapixel Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H1 and the new 6-Megapixel Sony DSC-H2. Both of them worked pretty well, but its competition was better in focusing time and size. Now I got my hands on the new 7.2-Megapixel Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H5.

Just as the H1 and H2, the H5 competes... Read full review »

Pros Build quality, handling, HUGE LCD, fluid focusing, PHOTO QUALITY.
Cons Bet she'd run longer if she used 4 batteries instead of only two....
Recommended it? Yes

I agonized over the choice of what to augment my Kodak DX7590 with. No mistake, the DX7590 is a great camera, but I needed something with a longer zoom and higher resolution.

The dSLR route I did not care to go as the trade-off is (at an affordable price-point) a tad better photo quality... Read full review »

Pros Crystal clear picture..excellent color with an AMAZING ZOOM.
Cons little bulky, buttons could have been better placed to avoid having them accidentally...
Recommended it? No

I find that this camera was GREAT at the Store, because of the lighting in the store, it was able to click off picture after picture without any slowdown. Now that I have owned it for over a year, I wish I would have waited for one that was a little different. If you want that special picture of... Read full review »

Pros Big LCD Screen. Good Movie clip feature.
Cons Flash delay, poor pictures, poor battery life.

I brought this camera back after two weeks of using it. I could not get good action shots inside (in any mode). They all came out blurry. I returned it and bought the Cannon Power Shot S3 IS. While at the store, I used the display models for the Sony and the Cannon that were next to each other... Read full review »

Pros Good pictures
Cons Low reliability/quality
Recommended it? No

I have owned a Sony DSC-H5 for a year and found today that it will no longer autofocus when I press the shutter button halfway down. I treat my camera equipment very carefully, so abuse is not the issue. After reading posts from other consumers who have experienced the same problem... Read full review »

I picked up this camera a few days ago after lots of research and deliberation. I knew I wanted something better than the myriad of compact, 4-6 Megapixel, run-of-the-mill cameras.

Price: I wasn't so much concerned with the price of this camera as I had read it was very sturdy and durable... Read full review »

Pros Great pictures and easy to use
Cons Shutter button pops off
Recommended it? No

I previously owned another Sony camera and no problems so I figured I would buy another. I have owned my H5 since June 2006 and have not had any issues until last week when the shutter button popped off. After doing some research I have found that this is a common problem with the camera. I just... Read full review »
