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.

Strengths: Versatile zoom range, Strong flash, delivers photos with pleasing natural colors, night-shot mode, feels good in the hand
Weaknesses:Default photos a bit soft, wide angle and tele-photo not quite upto what the competition offers, battery life not that great, proprietary battery, hate the eyelets for the strap
Overall Evaluation: I have been using this camera for over three months now. I bought it for a trip to Peru and it took great pictures on both the Machu-Pichhu trek as well in the amazon rain forest. The photos came out slightly soft for my liking but the color saturation and tone were spot-on. After slight tweaking in Picasa the results were amazing. The flash is strong, bright and adjustable and recycles fast. But I guess this also leads to a battery life that is by no means great. I would call the battery life adequate. I carried a spare on the trip and I lasted 5 days without having to recharge with about 1000 shots. The camera is very well made and has a nice heft to it without being heavy. It feel nice and comfortable in the hands. My biggest pet peeve with the camera is the eyelets for the strap that rotate continuously. It drives me nuts as I am a bit OCD about such things and am un-twisting teh strap non-stop.

Strengths: Great zoom, great picture quality, easy to use, and tilting screen
Weaknesses:none that I have found so far!!
Overall Evaluation: I bought this camera in April. I upgraded from an older version. DSC-H1. I am in love with this camera. It is a wonderful camera. I had considered going to SLR, but decided that this camera did everything I wanted and more so I bought it. I have had a few months to play with it and I love it. The zoom is great. The picture quality is wonderful even in VGA. It is by far worth every penny I paid. I take many photos every year, about 5000. I take my camera every where with me.
Review:
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 Digital Camera
Its Carl Zeiss telephoto lens and manual features are strong, but the focus-lock is erratic, and startup is slow.
Sony's new Cyber-shot DSC-H50 has some outstanding features. But it also has a few kinks that may or may not hang you up, depending on how picky you are about certain functions.
