A review of the Sony Cybershot DSC-H5 ultra zoom camera is available at DigitalCameraInfo. The Sony Cybershot DSC H5 is a 7.2 megapixel ultra zoom camera with a long 12 times optical zoom. Using optical image stabilization the risk of blurred photos is reduced, for example when shooting without a tripod using the full zoom range. With its full manual controls the Sony Cybershot H5 will be suitable to more advanced photographers, however its scene modes and automatic shooting mode make it equally appealing to point and shot photographers.

The review results:
“The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5 has a great feature set that includes 7.1 megapixels, a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 12x optical zoom lens, an optical image stabilization system, and full manual functionality. This digital camera has the lure of a sexy compact, with its enormous 3-inch, 230,000-pixel LCD monitor and its seven simple scene modes. It also draws design elements from DSLRs such as the protruding viewfinder, chunky measurements, and expanded ISO range. Perhaps one of its best features is an optical image stabilization system, which works wonders in keeping the shakes to a minimum in movie mode and helps keep still images from blurring. This image stabilization system is not a want, but a necessity.
The Sony H5 is not without flaws though. All of its goodness comes at a price – and the $499 retail isn’t the worst of it. The large LCD screen and excellent stabilization system are great, but they suck the AA batteries dry too quickly.”
