Customer reviews

My best shot!
The price for this camera was exceptional!

The delivery swift.

The product was exactly as I expected.

Only problem was running out of memory. Be sure to buy a memory stick.

Easy to operate and takes great photos.

Do not buy this camera; avoid Sony
I purchased this camera and out of the box the flash did not work (it failed to automatically pop up). I returned the first one and the replacement failed in the exact same manner.

I contacted Sony and they said I could mail it in for repairs. When I asked why I should have a brand new camera repaired they did not have a response. When I asked why I should just not return the camera and buy another brand they had no response. Basically, they said “tough luck.”

The quality of the camera and support from Sony is awful. Buy a different brand, period.

Try before you buy
I purchased the H3 online, based on the reviews in a major consumer magazine. I should have tried it out first. It functioned ok when I tried it shooting stills inside, but then I took it outside. It was a moderately sunny day. The lack of a viewfinder made it next to impossible to use this camera outside. The LCD screen was totally washed out by the sunlight. I could not compose the subject let alone view the many icons on the screen. If you are considering buying this camera I highly suggest you take it outside and see if you can live with this problem.

Good camera for the price!
I was nicely surprised with the DSC-H3. I’ve owned Cyber-shots before and I’ve always liked them. The H3 is much lighter weight than previous models. I’m still experimenting with all the features; so far, it seems to shoot really well in low light, especially without the flash. On the whole it seems an easy camera to use. As I experiment with all the features, I’ll report back on my thoughts, but so far, I’m loving it!

Great Camera
I bought this camera after my Kodak Easy Share was stolen. I origally wanted another easy share b/c it was pretty user friendly, but when I started looking around and seeing what I could get for my money I decided to go with a camera with more zoom. It came down to this one or the Kodak 710 and in the end this one won out b/c it was more compact. I wanted the fetures of a long zoom with out the bulkiness of one. I also wanted a camera with the ion rechargalbe batteries. I know a lot of people like the AA, but they just dont compare to the ion in batery life. We settled on this camera and I think it does the trick! It’s very compact compared to the other cameras with 10x optical zoom and its super afordable on amazon.com. The camera is heavier than I’m use to, but then again my old one was the size of a deck of cards, so most anything would be heavier than that.

Now for the preformance. It’s great! I have played around with it all day and it takes great pictures! The zoom is wonderful. The pictures are very crisp and the colors are natural looking. The camera is also very easy to use. Basically the camera its self tells you what every thing is for.

It also has a great feture that will allow you to take 3 pictures at a time so you can get those hard to hold still toddlers!

I’m not a proffesional, but I do love to take pictures of my baby and this camera allows me to take great pictures.

Still lovin it! I’ve had the camera for a few weeks and played around with it a ton. I haven’t been able to take a bad picture. I kove this camera. It would be a great buy for any skill level.
