User Reviews for Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H50

    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: Great zoom, Good night shot

    Weaknesses: Wide angle lens is awful. Picture shows big shadow caused by flash. There is no aux to attach separate flash-not included on H50's. $150 lens made especially for this camera makes camera useless for interior designers and interior pic with flash.

    Overall Evaluation: Very upset. Sony unwilling to to assist.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: quick focusing, easy of use, it peroforms as well as my wife's last year of minolta before the sony takeover.

    Weaknesses: I take to many pictures and CD/DVD are getting expensive. The night shots are a little grainy.

    Overall Evaluation: I have taken photos of nature, action, landscapes, historical building in low light, and night shots. It is fun and easy to use or as complex as you want it to be.
