review

As D-SLR prices continue to drop, we should see big changes in the superzoom segment of the digital camera market. Already, more and more compact, lower-priced models with up to 20X optical zoom lenses are hitting the shelves. At $299.99 direct, Sony's latest superzoom, the Cyber-shot DSC-H10, isn't terribly expensive, and with 10X optical zoom, eight different scene modes, and the ability to preview ISO settings on the 3-inch LCD, the H10 brings a lot to the table. The kid's table, that is; for despite its many features, the camera's poor flash image quality and subpar face detection place it behind the competition.

Bottom Line

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10's unique features are overshadowed by poor flash image quality and iffy face detection. If you're in the market for a budget superzoom, better, lower-priced options are out there.

Pros

Large 3-inch screen. Can preview ISO settings on the LCD. Little noise in low-light shots. Sports-shooting scene mode for capturing clear, fast-action shots.

Cons

Faulty face detection. Flash shots are overexposed. No optical viewfinder. Plastic body feels a bit flimsy.
