It lies somewhere in between making it an ideal choice for those who want to graduate from the basic compact digital cameras and yet not get caught up in the technicalities of a Digital SLR camera. Also, with the Sony Cyber Shot DSC H50, you get almost the same quality as an SLR within a much less price.

Feature Perfect
This high performance camera from Sony is a full body, 9.1 mega pixel camera with a 15X optical zoom. Needless to say, the result is seen in clear, sharp images that can be anybody’s envy. Apart from the basics, this camera is also studded with a lot of cool features that enables any photographer’s creativity run wild.


The H50 offers you a rear tilting 3inch screen to review or compose shots with a very good accuracy. The good thing about the screen is that it allows you to take pictures at very close proximity and even at extremely low height levels and gives very crisp results.

There is an image stabilization feature that prevents pictures form getting blurred and captures even the motions in a picture very accurately without getting hazy.

The other features that catch our attention are modes like intelligent scene recognition, face detection and the much talked about ‘smile’ detector that automatically detects a smile and clicks a picture. There are also other shooting programs like Snow, Beach, Landscape, Twilight Mode, Fireworks, and High Sensitivity.

The H50 also offers red eye reduction and an 8inch-30ft effective flash range. It has built in microphone and speakers and can be used easily on a tripod.


Design Wise
When it comes to looks and design, the Sony Cyber Shot H50 camera is a sure winner. This digital camera comes in a sleek black color and has a very smart, elegant design that will catch anybody’s fancy.

The lens, flash and manual controls all are placed in such a way that it provides perfect operating convenience. Considering the category of cameras that it belongs to, it can be called a light weight camera which is easy to carry and operate.

Overall Judgment
All in all, the Cyber Shot H50 from Sony may seem like a decent choice with a wide flexibility in features. Good manual controls and useful, large LCD give you more reasons to be happy with it.
