Sony - Cybershot H5 Digital Camera Review

I was reluctant to switch to a digital camera, mostly because I find them too complex to take advantage of their features but this Sony CyberShot H5 has proven very intuitive to use. Our family vacations photos have never come out so well. Very good zoom (though at full power it's hard to keep the shot steady.) Great battery life and memory capacity. I really like the large viewing screen and the ability to scroll through and delete unwanted shots. It has practically paid for itself on lower film developing costs since I don't have to keep shots I don't really want. I also like the ability to shoot in low light without a flash. Being able to look at my trip pics on my laptop is another huge upgrade for me.

I've had this camera in extreme cold and extreme heat and humidity and it has been completely reliable. I've never lost pics from memory failure, unlike some other digital users I know.  Nothing has gone wrong in around two years of heavy usage. If you're still using 35mm and have been reluctant to change over to digital, all I can say is you owe it to yourselt to checkout Sony's lineup. I own other Sony products and have always found them well designed and very reiable. I only wish I'd made the switch to digital earlier.
