Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 (Silver) review

By Joshua Goldman (cnet.com)

Versatile mix of ease-of-use features and manual controls; tilting 3-inch LCD; good color reproduction; zoom operates in movie mode.

Slowish startup and shutdown; occasional fringing, noise issues; no raw support or hot shoe.

Though its lens isn't as wide and suffers from many of the same lens artifacts as its competitors, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 is a good megazoom camera with a lot of features for experiment-minded snapshooters.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

By Rich Trenholm (cnet.co.uk)

Superzooms split the dSLR and compact camps, but the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 sweetens the deal with a full 18x zoom lens and a handy fold-out LCD screen. There's a wealth of features in the sturdy body, all of which can be tweaked. Images look great

Excellent zoom control; massively tweakable; fold-out screen

Usual Sony proprietary nonsense

Plentiful features with all manner of adjustable options, entertaining gimmicks and rock-solid shooting make us like this camera a lot. We love the fold-out screen and fantastically delicate zoom control -- if you could stick an SD card slot in there, it...

With the projection market getting ever more cut-throat, it's perhaps rather ...

Review : Sony Cyber-Shot DSC H50

By paul_smart (gadgetspeak.com)

This is a rather nice camera. It takes great still images and good movies. It is not a pocket camera and not a large (DSLR size) unit. Therefore my only doubt is where in the market it will fit, the other slight problem is that it stores images on MS Pro

As always the TFT needs protection and as always no case is provided as standard. I tend to use bubble wrap during my trips out as I always try to think of the next reviewer. You might prefer to find someone who bundles a card and a case (maybe also a tri...

"Great replacement for my F707 and priced better"

By PhotoMike15 (cnet.com)

If fell in love with the tilt screen (I used ... 

Lightweight, super night shots, burst was welcome at 100 shots per, liking it more each day I take it out.

A bit too tiny for my hands but a comfortable fit to carry in my hand ready to shoot. The 3 minute shutdown can be bother with the slow start up. Also frustrated with Sony's push to buy THEIR filters - 74 mm is difficult to find.
