Sonys DSC-H3: bigger than a compact, but still fits in your pocket As you’d expect, superzooms offer a much longer optical zoom than those found on a standard compact. Whereas most compacts have a paltry 3x zoom - boosted by an often unusable digita...
There’s always the danger that a camera like DSC-H3 will end up as one of those products that tries to please everyone, but does the exact opposite. Not in this case. Users wanting more than standard compact camera will like the extra functionality...

This is one of several cameras that nestle in between the low-priced compact segment and the entry-level digital SLRs. In theory, they have the compacts fuss-free ease of use while leaning towards the DSLR in quality, enhanced zoom lens and a greater...

As companies move away from megapixels as the defining feature of their cameras, things such as optical image stabilisation, face detect and larger zooms begin to take centre stage. Sonys latest advanced camera, the Cyber-shot DSC-H3 is a prime exampl...

Noisy shots above ISO 200, pictures a touch soft The Final Word The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 is a great ultra-zoom camera. Its compact build makes it ideal for travellers and it has a boatload of features along with capturing some fairly good shots.

This 8 megapixel camera has a 10x zoom (38–380mm film equivalent) Zeiss-branded lens in a compact body. Like the Panasonic TZ cameras it fits the long zoom into a body that is smaller than the usual pseudo-SLR superzooms. The Sony is well-made and a...

Sony has packed an optically-stabilised Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 10x optical zoom lens and 8-megapixel imager into a compact body in its new DSC-H3 Cyber-shot camera. Small and light for a long-zoom camera, the H3 is well designed. Neither optical nor e...

We loved the Sony DSC-V3 camera released back in late 2004, and had hopes that the new H3 would be an upgrade to this fine camera, noting the increased zoom range (up to a whopping 10x) and a pixel count nudged slightly up to eight megapixel resolution...

Prosumer cameras are a popular breed these days. Offering the best of both worlds; pocket point-and-shoot as well as DSLR, prosumer cameras have one big foible; they're usually quite large, and sometimes as large as entry-level DSLRs. But the Son...

The is yet another take on the emerging compact ultra-zoom theme, sporting a 10x optical zoom in a large pocket camera package. Amid some other more prominent entries into this field, the Sony seems to have been often lost in the mix. Even with some...
The Sony Cyber-shot H3 delivers in many of the areas that will be important to buyers shopping for this kind of camera. It offers a generally good, stabilized 10x zoom lens, snappy shot-to-shot performance, a good flash unit, and nice color reproductio...

The Cyber-shot DSC-H3 was first announced back in August 2007 and is the latest addition to Sonys High Zoom range of compact cameras - and something of a departure (previous models were all considerably larger SLR-style affairs). This baby-brothe...

I must admit I wasnt that impressed when I first held the Sony H3 in my hands. It looks like a toy camera and the build quality did not inspire my confidence either. In the three weeks or so that I have now used and tested the H3 I have had to somewh...

2007 was an interesting year for the digital camera industry as a whole. The reason I say this is because that year saw the introduction of a new breed of camera. We saw a cross breed between a compact point-and-shoot camera and a DSLR camera. The resu...

The march of the compact mega zooms continues. Sony recently introduced a very small 8-megapixel digicam with a 10x optical zoom and optical image stabilization. Like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 and Canon PowerShot SX100 IS this camera is really target...

While I liked the Panasonic DMC-TZ3, the Sony DSC-H3 has more positives such as much faster shot-to-shot times and quicker focusing. Image quality was just a tad better, not dramatically different but shooting at higher ISOs delivered less noise. I rea...
