Sony - Cybershot H5 Digital Camera Review

We purchased the Sony Cybershot H5 in order to satisfy the Photo Bug in me and have the flexibilty to be a regular Point and Shoot before the baby crys for the picture taking mother.  Its kind of like the sport sedan with an automatic trans mission for the mother who could care less that it is a sport sedan, but has the manumatic option for the gearhead goofy dad who wants to explore his sporty sensabilities. (I'm not implying that mothers don't like manual transmissions...!)  This camera perfectly fills that middle niche.  It resembles an SLR, and even has the mounting threads to add telephoto and wide angle lense over its auto focus Carl Ziess Vario Tessar lens.  There is easy to use selection wheel that gives a breif description of each setting via the wide lLCD panel making selection a breeze on the fly for the wannabe Photographer.  For the less concerned, the auto selection is a treat.  Pick it up and shoot the picture....before the baby cries again! 

The flash is also adjustable, making overpowering a subject with a white flash a thing of the past.  Editing on the fly makes picture taking with this model a joy.  As with the flash mentioned here, you can view you shot immediatly.  determining that it is too over exposed, you can dial back the power of the flash and bring the exposure to a more reasonable depth. 

Certain accoutrements would be needed to bring the quality up to professional status, but for a family on the go, Great pictures are a sure fire hit with the Sony Cyber-shot H5....I do reccomend this product
