Product Features
  • Take your best shot
    Make moments last forever with the compact DSC-H55 Cyber-shot digital camera. Not only can you easily capture awe-inspiring landscapes with Sweep Panorama mode, you can instantly review them on a beautiful 3" (diag.) screen. The wide angle 10x optical zoom lens is perfect for tight close-ups and 14.1-megapixel clarity allows for stunningly sharp images. Prepare to be impressed.
  • Top-of-the-line lens
    It all starts with the lens. Designed and manufactured to the highest standards of optical performance, the Sony G-Lens is optimized to perfectly complement the advanced image sensors and image processing technology in Sony's cameras. G lenses are also used in high-end digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and advanced pro-sumer HD camcorders.
  • Panoramic shots made easy
    Sweep Panorama Mode goes far beyond traditional wide angle lenses to let you capture expansive, 244-degree shots of landscapes or skyscrapers. Just press the shutter and shoot the scene with a sweeping motion and the camera does the rest. It even detects faces and moving subjects to avoid distortion.
  • Goodbye blurry photos and movies
    Don't let a not-so-steady hand prevent you from capturing the perfect moment. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically compensates to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality. In addition, Active Mode compensates for excessive camera shake in video by providing 10x compensation.
  • A smarter Auto mode
    Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you-recognizing scenes, lighting conditions and faces - and automatically adjusts the settings for you. The results are clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur.
  • Record and upload HD movies
    Shoot and share your memories in HD. In 720p MP4 movie mode, you can record 1280 x 720 HD movies at 30 fps for high quality yet small file sizes - perfect for your compatible PC or Mac . And transferring the movies from your computer to sharing websites like Photobucket and YouTube is easy.
  • Put yourself in the picture
    Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of self portraits by using Face Detection technology to recognize when your face enters the frame. Once the camera detects your face, it triggers a 2-second timer, and then snaps a picture.

  • THE GOOD

    Compact, lightweight design; good features for the money; capable of snapping photos with excellent quality.

  • THE BAD

    Slow shooting performance.

  • THE BOTTOM LINE

    The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H55 is a compact megazoom camera that is capable of taking some excellent photos, just at a leisurely pace, but at a good price.

    Great Point and Shoot Camera

    This is my 3rd Sony "point and shoot" camera. I have given them as gifts and used myself for many years. I love the higher Megapixel and Optical Zoom along with the ability to use SD or Memory Stick Pro Duo memory cards.

    Nice size to fit in pocket, purse or backpack.

    Simple to use, great features!

    Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

    I love Sony cameras in general, this camera has not disappointed, nice clear shots, awesome panoramic feature, and it's the first camera I've had that took video and allowed me to zoom in and out at the same time. Only drawback I've found is that occasionally it's a bit slow to focus, and it has a bit of distortion that shows on the edges when taking pictures of people (heads look a little elongated) but it's not a really big deal. It has a cropping tool and I have closed in and cropped some great nature photos with it. Took it on a trip to California and have had great success. Oh, only other flaw I found is that the videos need to be converted from MP4 format if you want to use them in Windows Movie Maker, but I found a conversion program for free on line and once I got the hang of it the conversions were fine. My other sony's didn't require the conversion. But over all it's an awesome camera!

    The best in its class

    Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

    This is a really good camera for general use. If you're trying to take artistic photos, this can get the job done. It obviously doesn't have as many features as the more expensive ones do, but at the right price, you can't beat it. It has a panoramic picture setting, which I've become more or less addicted to; it's a lot of fun!

    Excellent Camera.

    Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

    I bought it to take pictures at family events. I use it almost everyday. I like the HD modes, and various settings that this camera allows me to choose. This camera is much better than my last camera.

    This is an amazing camera, and I highly recommend it!

    Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

    I had very high expectations for this camera. However, when I received the camera, it exceeded all my expectations! So far I have been very impressed with all of it's features, including: image quality, image stabilization, zoom, and everything else. This is the first Sony camera I have bought, and I would like to buy all my cameras from Sony from now on. The 10x zoom is very impressive, and even when you are zoomed in all the way, the pictures are not blurry. I highly recommend this camera!
