First thing you’ll notice when picking up the Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is the whopping 3-inch LCD screen, a major upgrade from its previous H3 model’s 2.5in. Other headline features include compact dimensions, an 8-megapixel sensor, a 10x zoom lens, Super Steady Shot image stabilisation, Dynamic Range Optimisation, Face Detection, and HDTV output.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 comes in either silver or black with a very sleek finish which can be a bit slippery for handling.
Stock comes with only 31MB of memory so out-the-box shooting is limited without any memory card, which it’ll only use the Memory Stick Pro and Memory Stick Pro Duo. Shutter speeds can range from 1/2000 to 30 seconds and the lens is a 10x optical zoom with Carl Zeiss glass. The menu is known to be a bit slow.
The H-10 is still a step away from Sony’s claimed flagship H-50. It’ll take above average quality pictures but not outstanding preformance. Great for those looking for a moderately priced megazoom. No longer available for purchase from offical store SonyStyle, but is priced at $389.95 at Amazon.
