review

On the surface, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5 has plenty of the allure that makes Sony cameras and camcorders popular: provocative design and a bunch of features that everybody seems to want. For example, the Sony H5 has a bright three-inch LCD and a whopping 12X optical zoom that gives you the feeling you've got all the photo control you'll ever need. Plus, the camera is equipped with image stabilization, a feature that lets you zoom into a scene without needing a tripod to keep your hand steady, at least in some situations. Still, it's not the stellar superzoom I had hoped for from Sony.

Bottom Line

It's a nicely designed camera, but falls short in some key quality and performance areas.

Pros

Sharp photos. Vibrant Color. Nicely designed body. Decent video clips.

Cons

Shutter lag. Mediocre menus. Flash is too powerful.
