For a camera with the H10's feature-set the external controls are pretty basic. The ubiquitous four-way controller, the menu and Sony's unique 'Home' buttons and the zoom controller are located to the right of the screen. The top plate of the camera accommodates the power-button, mode dial and shutter button. The flash settings on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 are Auto, Flash On, Slow Syncro, Flash Off and Red-eye Reduction. These shots of a white coloured wall were taken at a distance of 1.5m. For what is essentially a compact digicam outfitted with a long zoom, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 outputs images of more than respectable quality. They are rich in detail, have vibrant colours and for the most part strike a good balance between suppressing noise and preserving detail. The Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens copes well with the extreme pixel density of the sensor, capturing loads of fine detail. It does suffer from barrel distortion at the wide end, which might come as a surprise to some, given that the 'wide end' isn't that wide after all. Chromatic aberrations were visible in a number of test shots but, with a few exceptions, they were not overly intrusive. As is the case with most small-sensor digicams, highlights are often harshly clipped, but this can be avoided by watching the live histogram, exposing for the highlights and letting DRO do its magic on the shadows. The one true image quality problem with the DSC-H10 is its poor automatic white balance in artificial light, which is aggravated by the fact that the presets aren't really usable either, and there's no custom white balance option provided. If that's something Sony could fix in a firmware update, then by all means they should do so. Outdoors however you will encounter few, if any, white balance issues and can enjoy the vibrant colours the camera produces. Out of these, I only had problems with foliage greens, which in some cases seemed a little unnatural � but this is often the case with digital photos. Noise

In conclusion the H10 is a compact long-zoom point and shoot camera that reliably takes pictures in Auto mode and offers good value for money. There are a few negatives you should have in mind but image quality is decent. Most of all, like its predecessor it is a fun-to-use camera that you can carry wherever you go. Detail In use, the Sony DSC-H20 proved to be a capable and responsive camera. The AF system is surprisingly fast, especially at wide angle. One thing I noticed was that it seemed to be 'always on', adjusting itself continuously even when I was not holding the shutter release pressed halfway – this is no doubt one of the reasons why the system was faster than on most compacts, although it did mean that things would go out of focus occasionally, without my intervention. The ability to set the focus manually to one of a few predefined distances meant that you could effectively 'zone focus' with the H20, something few other digicams will allow you to do.

Retrieved 2008-02-08. SAN DIEGO, Jan. 23, 2008 – Sony today unveiled its high-zoom Cyber-shot® DSC-H10 digital camera, a compact model that is ideal for parents looking to capture their families’ memories.DSC-WX150 (2012, 18.2 megapixels, 10x optical zoom, G Lens, 3D Sweep Panorama, HD Movie 1080i, 3.0˝ LCD) The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20's maximum shutter speed is 30 seconds, which is great news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The following photo was taken at a shutter speed of 4 seconds at ISO 80. We have included a 100% crop to show you what the quality is like.

Retrieved 2010-12-20. , Digital Photography Review This model has a powerful Carl Zeiss® 10x optical zoom lens and a long-range flash to help you capture details from afar. Its face detection technology can identify and focus on up to eight faces in a frame, and automatically adjusts the focus for correctly exposed photos.

The metering modes offered by the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 are multi-area, centre-weighted or spot. It makes sense to use either of the latter two in conjunction with centre-point AF. Focusing modes are multi-point AF, centre-point AF, spot AF or manual focus. In multi-point AF mode the camera decides what to focus on, which is usually the closest object in the frame. Centre-point AF and spot AF are similar, the difference lies in the size of the AF frame. Manual focus isn't what you would think it is: you can only set the focus to one of five predefined subject distance values, including 0.5m, 1m, 3m, 7m or infinity. Nevertheless it's useful when you want to do street photography with the lens fixed at the wide end � you simply set the subject distance to 3m and shoot away happily, knowing that everything between less than 2m and infinity will be in focus. This speeds up the camera as it doesn't have to engage the AF, and increases the chances that you'll capture the moment. A 'virtual mode dial' appears when you turn the real mode dial. This is useful if you don't want to take your eye off the screen.

There is no custom WB option, which is a pity as neither AWB nor the presets give consistently good results in artificial light. Flash exposure compensation, similarly to ambient EC, it can be set between -2 and +2EV, again in 1/3EV increments. An advanced feature, but you'll rarely need it as flash exposures are generally very good. Red-eye reduction is either auto, on or off. It should really have been made available via the flash mode button (right arrow key). DSC-WX9 (2011, 16.2 megapixels, 5x optical zoom, 3D Sweep Panorama, Full HD 1080/60i video, 3.0˝ LCD) As a successor to the popular K Series, Sony Ericsson introduced the 'C' Series in 2008. The initial handset released under this category was the 5-megapixel C902, with the C905 announced shortly thereafter. The C905 signalled Sony Ericsson's entry into the 8-megapixel camera phone market. The last Cyber-shot phone to be released in Japan was the Sony Ericsson S006 in October 2010.
