With the introduction of the five-megapixel H1 back in February 2005, Sony was a late entrant to the booming high-zoom digital camera market. Nevertheless, the original H1 was well received and arguably the best of the crop. Canon has recently upgraded...

Following the ideology that bigger is better Sony has introduced their latest mega-zoom camera, the DSC-H2. Sporting a gigantic 12x optical zoom lens housed within an equally large chassis, the H2 definitely isnt suitable for carrying in your pocket...
Big zoom, Nice colour balance...
Poor image quality overall, Ugly The Final Word If you desperately need an advanced model with a 12X optical zoom then maybe the H2 is for you, but the poor sharpness level and strange design mean there are probably better choices elsewhere.

The DSCH2 is an excellent example of the fixed lens SLR, with many useful features, long zoom and sufficient pixels on the CCD to make big pictures. An optional telephoto or wide-angle lens can be easily attached, to give the DSCH2 an even greater opti...

The six megapixel H2 is known as a ‘super zoom’ – because it features a much longer lens than traditionally found on a compact camera – 12x in fact (equivalent to 36-432mm in 35mm film terms). It’s also referred to as ‘bridge’ camera, because it bridge...
Zoom capability, backed up with built in Super SteadyShot image stabilisation to avoid the blurring effects of camera shake at the extreme telephoto end of the focal range. Plus the vividly colourful and sharp images that we expect from Sony...
Mainly plastic build. AA power rather than dedicated lithiuim ion cell (though AAs are rechargeable). No removable media supplied with the camera out of the box.
Although its build is mainly plastic, the Sony H2 delivers vividly colourful and sharp images for a price that makes it worth further investigation...

Here is another quite good ultra-zoom from Sony. The Sony Cybershot DSC-H2, being very similar to the Sony H5, performs similarly. While it does produce useable pictures under typical lighting conditions, the H2 exhibits too much chromatic aberrations...

With the exception of the threaded metallic ring around the lens, the body of the H2 is primarily composed of a light silvered plastic, while the grip area that is wrapped with rubber, and a few other areas are of a darker grey colour.

The Cyber-shot DSC-H1 was Sonys first foray into the increasingly crowded compact, image stabilized super zoom market, and it was a very successful one too. The DSC-H2 (along with big brother the DSC-H5) arrived almost exactly a year later in Febr...
Excellent resolution, good edge-to-edge detail, Great color, good exposure, clean sharp results, Accurate and generally fast focus, Low shutter lag, Superb handling, comprehensive photographic controls, Jog dial makes manual / semi-automatic exposure very...
Some focus hunting at long end of the zoom (especially in low light), Images very slightly soft, Image stabilization doesnt seem quite as effective as competition, Small viewfinder (high resolution though), Screen smaller and lower resolution than model i...
We praised the H1 - Sonys first foray into this crowded part of the market - as not only a surprisingly mature, well-rounded product, but one offering performance and output that put it very near the top of the tree. The H2 doesnt add a great deal...
