Sony - Cybershot DSC-H2 Digital Camera —

I bought this specifically for my honeymoon in Costa Rica. I made the perfect choice!

This digital camera is great for anyone who wants SLR quality without the SLR price-tag. If has enough great features to keep a tech savvy photographer happy while being easy enough to use for someone who just prefers to "point and shoot".

This camara gives you great quality pictures at up to 6.0 mega-pixels a shot and with a whopping 12x optical zoom that beats the power of a lot of higher end cameras. There are 13 automatic settings that work so well that there will be very few times when you need extra adjustments.
My favorite setting is the "fast shutter speed" which allows you to take perfect pictures of objects in motion without the blur. I love using this setting for shots that require I use all the zoom power. As we all know the farther you zoom in the more a slight shake of your hand can ruin a shot - this prevents that.
Other features include image stabilization so even if you shake the picture will look as if you had a steady hand most of the time.
The macro setting allows for very close up pictures to look crisp and bright.
There is a black and white along with a few other special effect settings you may want to try out for fun.
A self timer is included.
The ability to take short movies with sound is available also.
This camera's large LCD screen makes it easy for anyone to see what they are shooting.

As with all sony's it uses a "Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo" memory card. These differ from the standard memory but are still easy to find and affordable.

This is a slightly older model but it has not been improved on enough to make buying a newer model really worth the money.

I hope this review convinced you to buy a Sony Cybershot DSC-H2. You will not be disappointed
