A general point-and-shot camera is designed primarily for simpleoperation and best for capturing still photographs. Even a newbie canuse these cameras easily. There are various mega zoom cameras availablein the market. Now, Sony has launched its new latest model – SonyCyber-shot DSC-H20 in this line stream. The appreciated features of the Sony cyber-shot dsc-h20 are as following: 1. 720p HD quality video capture 2. 10x optical zoom that also works while recording videos 3. Mechanical and Digital Image stabilization 4. Physical lens cover 5. First-rate design 6. Good feature-to-price ratio However, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 has some drawbacks such as: 1. No inbuilt mechanical lens shield 2. Narrow lens 3. Poor photo quality above ISO 400 Design Aspects: The design of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is quite similar to theDSC-W290. Due to wide and long lens, the Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is heavy.Comparing this with other models, Panasonic ZS1 and ZS3 are not heavyeven with wide lens. The digital camera cannot fit inside a pantspocket, but you can fit it easily in small handbag. About Controls: Mode dial is located on the top of Sony cyber-shot dsc-h20 .You easily use your thumb to adjust the dial. Memory Stick socket,Smile Shutter button, power button and shutter release button with zoomring are also located on the top. Sony has included only one Menubutton in the H20 unlike two Home and Menu buttons in its previousmodels. Quality: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 provides good photo quality below ISO400. At ISO 400, the noise reduction decreases the sharpness and finedetails. You can only use photographs at ISO 400 for print outs below8×10. The images at ISO 800 have blurry details and only fit forsmaller printouts. We will not recommend you to use ISO 1600 or 3200even the DSC-H20 has the option for the same. Shooting Speed: The time from power-on to first-shot for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20is 2.8 seconds. The shot-to-shot time is 2.1 seconds. The shutter lagis 0.4 second in bright light and 0.7 second in dim light. Thecontinuous shooting speed is 1.7 fps. Robert Brazma is a professional photographer and give Digitalcamera reviews for you.
