The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5 ultra zoom camera has been reviewed at Steve’s Digicams. The Sony Cybershot DSC-H5 features 7.2 megapixels optical resolution and is equipped with a 12x optical zoom lens. Optical image stabilization ensures the usability of the long zoom, without worrying too much about blurred image results. With shooting modes suited to both advanced photographers and camera novices, this could be an ideal camera for the whole family.

Here are some of the review impressions:
“Like its predecessor the H1, Sony’s Cyber-shot H5 is a very capable entrant in the megazoom digicam market. Offering 7-megapixels of resolution, a high-quality image-stabilized 36-432mm zoom lens, very good image quality and fairly responsive shooting performance, the H5 offers a compelling combination of quality and versatility. It will please both the beginner and the advanced photographer with its consistently well-exposed and sharp results. […] If you have a need for megazoom focal lengths, the H5 also represents a terrific value; while dSLR image-stabilized long focal length lenses sell for thousands of dollars, the H5 can be had for under $450, image-stabilized zoom lens included.

If you’re looking for a light-weight, stylish, moderately-priced digicam that is versatile enough to handle most family events while getting you close to sports action or wildlife, the SONY Cyber-shot H5 should be high on your list.”
