CNET Editors' review

Very Good
  • THE GOOD

    12X zoom; image stabilization; solid selection of accessories.

  • THE BAD

    Large body; lots of noise at ISO 800 and above; no hotshoe.

  • THE BOTTOM LINE

    Advanced amateurs who find dSLRs too bulky will like the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H5's versatility but lament the noise at higher ISOs.

I have used one of the first Sony cameras with floppy disc for years. still works great. even outdated it still gives great performance so I am sold on Sony.

during a recent trip to Colorado to visit my daughter. they noticed my antique that I was taking pictures with. they decided to upgrade me with an Olympus for a Christmas present.

the camera takes great photos but is difficult for me to browse around different picture situations.

I want a quality camera that was easy for an amateur to use and still get great pictures. My DH5 accomplishes this, and even tho I bought a used one, it was in mint, like new condition. I would reccomend one of these for great photo opportunities.

Always a Sony person. I have good luck with my Sony products. It's easy to use. Great pictures. The only thing I don't like is the camera body feels a little cheap. I have owned other Sony camera's and the camera bodies were built stronger. I think its just as good as others.

Great product and it seems to be exactly what was needed for an amateur photographer. The picture quality was great and it has several different types of photo settings. This is overall a really great device and for the money it was a deal that could not be beat.
