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....

After much research and shopping, I finally chose this camera to replace my smaller, older model.  The main things I was looking for were a large zoom (this one has 10x optical) and a "sports" setting for action shots.  This camera has both, plus lots more.  It was very affordable at under $400, and I have gotten several great pictures from it, even though I haven't learned how to set all the manual settings myself yet. 

I would highly recommend this camera for anyone who wants a great camera with lots of bells & whistles but doesn't want to go all out yet with an SLR model.  This one is very...

It's a good camera for a beginner or intermediate photographer. It takes high quality photos and good quality videos.  I recommended it to my sister, who bought one too.  I use mine every day for just taking snapshots of the kid and cats, but I take it with me and use it along with my 35mm Canon when I shoot weddings, proms, baby and family portraits, and my freelance stuff.  I actually find myself using it MORE than the 35mm now, because film is expensive and the quality of these digital pix is so good.

I've had this camera for a little over a year and love it.  I've taken a ton of pics and love the quality.

12X Zoom - The zoom is great on this camera.  It's one of the reasons I bought it.

6 Megapixels - Sure, nowadays you can get much higher megapixel count for around the same price but unless you are planning on blowing up huge posters, 6 megapixels is all you'll ever need.  The quality is fantastic.

Settings - This camera pretty much has all the settings you'll need.  From Sports / Landscape / Portrait / Twilight / Night / etc...... you can also go manual and set your aperature, shutter...

I've had this camera for 2 years.  This is the 3rd digital camera I've owned and 2nd "zoom".  This camera is an improvement over the other zoom digital I owned, a Kodak 5 megapixel 10x optical zoom.  The pictures are definitely better throughout the zoom range.  When I bought this Sony, the only other camera I considered was a Canon S2 IS.  The two are pretty close quality wise.  This Sony can be used by 1st timers as a point and shoot, and others can use more maual settings.  Add ons include the usual assortments.  I like that this camera uses 2 aa batteries.  One can always use rechargables ... read full review »

Sony has improved on the H1 with an excellent quality picture format and the lowest noise level in its class. Yes, it only takes Sony memory sticks but I bought mine at Best Buy cheaper than Sandisk. Disregard DMM from Washington's rating as this person has been on every review I have looked at before purchasing my H2, knocking Sony. If you know anything about photography, it's there is only so much any mfg. can do with a 12x optical zoom with an image stabilizer at this size. If your looking for the perfect package you need an SLR with multiple lens, which is twice the size and price. I would... read full review »

The Sony DSC-H2 has a 12 zoom 6.0 mp, has scene modes and manual, aperture priorty and shutter priority modes,  and is a great camera. You can add the telephoto and macro lenses. I owned the Sony DSC-H5 and the pictures were soft. The H2 the pictures are detailed, clear, sharp and crisp. Where has this camera been all my life? The sky is actually blue and I am wowing myself all the time with this camera.

I love the dsc h2 camera.

I had an old Mavica and it worked great but I wanted something that could do action shots as well as having various settings that I can adjust. I also wanted a camera that could do fast shots.

It also has burst mode and that is the bomb. I was at a party and was taking pics of the kids (4 yr olds) and the camera took clean crisp shots.

I can't praise this camera enough! It is still a bit advanced for me, but it has been a wonderful camera. The Macro setting has been simply wonderful for close up still shots of flowers etc. The video camera works like a charm and is easy to use. I haven't really read the instructions at all. DH and I have mostly just figured everything out that we use on it. Fantastic camera!

This takes wonderful pictures and the downloads to my laptop are a cinch. I have never enjoyed photography before this thing. I think it is really a great deal for the money. Mine was a gift but I would recommend it to anyone looking to buy. It's small and handy to carry around and fits easily into my hands for use.

Great camera.  The price is unbelievable for what you get.  Audio, video and good pics.  Easy to use and light.  I was always carry a manual camera because I did not trust digital cameras.  Last vacation I did not take one.  It was easy to use and lasted for 10 day vacation.
