A review of the Sony Cybershot H5 digital camera is available at DPInterface. The Cybershot DSC-H5 is a digital SLR like camera with a 12 times optical zoom and a focal length of 36mm to 432mm, 35mm equivalent. It features a very large 3 inch LCD monitor and despite its long zoom range, it’s capable of taking close up shots with a minimum distance of 2cm.

The review results:
“Sony’s high-end ultra-zoom, the H5 does a pretty good job as an ultra-zoom with 7 megapixels, full manual controls and a 3 inch LCD. The camera is nicely built and looks professional - heck, some people even asked me if it was Sony’s new digital SLR! […]

While it has full manual controls, compatible with many accessories and a useful jog dial, this is probably not a camera for sports or action shooting. […]

Overall image quality was good and impressed me much and I’d be more than happy to recommend this camera to anyone who wants a big zoom camera with manual controls. Despite that, the Sony H5 does not have the ultimate control or super speed which may put off sports photographers or speed fanatics (like me). Oh yes, one more thing - is the H5 a better deal than the H2? It definitely is.”
