It's 2022. I've had my H1 (from Ebay) for a few months, I've just purchased the H2 (June 2022). The H1 is one of Sony's best bridge cameras in my opinion. I won't go into the specs here (and they are really considerable in depth and function) as they are available, in full, on the net. The images the H1 produces are just stunning for a 5 megapixel sensor, and here it's down to the lens and the Super HAD CCD sensor, the lens is marked as a Sony lens, though I suspect it may be a Zeiss lens. The reason I purchased the H2 is because it does have a Carl Zeiss lens system. Generally, the H2 has some improvements, mainly, now having a 6 megapixel sensor of the same quality as the H1. And don't worry, both these cameras are powered by AA batteries, I recommend buying good rechargeables, such as Eneloop (they last for years, and give you plenty of shooting time) get the 2500mha capacity cells. And don't worry about the memory cards the MS Pro Duos and adapters are in plentiful supply on Ebay, you dont need the adapter for the H2 and 4gig cards are plenty big enough in capacity. By the the way the H1 & H2 look the same overall in design, the buttons on the H2 are in different places. I was lucky enough to get the screw in extension tube and hood for my H1 (can be used on the H2) which allows for the use of screw in filters. I fully recommend the Sony H1 and the updated H2 (still in June 2022). Pictured below is the H1 (left) & H2 (right) . For full reviews of both these cameras search DPReviews (and others) on the net.

It is a classic 'bridge' camera that has great features and is easy to use. Design is very good and build quality feels solid. Takes great pictures
Best buy this year its really great never had a good camera before.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Not the camera to casualy take just for the sake of it. Can be heavy if walking long treks. Worth it if you have something to photograph in mind. Picture is great quality if you haven't seen better, or could not aford better, then maybe you would have to update your skills for the more complicated modern units. All in all nice camera for £70.

I had a pentax 2mp camera that i bought in the states a few years ago and it served me well but it was about time i bought myself a more modern camera so i plumped for the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H1 Digital Camera with 12x optical zoom, automatic flash and a whole host of features. The camera is 5.1mp and has a real big 2" lcd screen. To be honest there are so many features on this camera that i haven't yet used but i am sure in time i will. The battery life is amazing compared to my old camera which is always handy.It take 2 aa batteries. The only downside to this camera is that the manual is 107 pages long and is taking me a while to get through. I would urge anyone to take a good look at this camera as it has all you could want although that said it is a rather chunky piece of kit.
Under good daylight, this camera gives images which are almost as good as those from my Canon 1000D DSLR! The 12x optical zoom is excellent, and the extended 24X digital zoom gives very good results (as long as these images are not enlarged too much). There is no changing of lenses to get that close up photo!. The camera has a basic menu system with simple (though perfectly adequate) choices of different settings. This is a bonus, as it makes the camera easy to set up to get the perfect shot. The Sony H1 is comfortable to hold too. Although it only has 5 megapixels, this is more than adequate to give excellent detailed and almost "noise" free images. The camera is not trying to squeeze too many pixels on its tiny sensor. I know the Sony H1 came out in 2005, but it is such a good camera that it is still there (in my opinion) with the best that are produced today. Are there any shortcomings? Well, the only thing that I have noticed is that the two "AA" batteries only last for about 200 shots (using the LCD screen and the occasional flash. One other thing is the clip on lens cover is a little bit annoying - when it is swinging about as you carry the camera. (Mine is attached to the camera, but you could put the lens cap in your pocket). These two "negatives" I've mentioned are only minor things, and on the whole I am very pleased with this camera. I would recommend it to anyone (in fact I let my 13 year old grandson use the camera for a day, and he is now looking for one!).Read full review
This camera is superb. My husband bought one last year for our trip to Hawaii and when we took the memory card in to have some of the pics printed larger than we can do at home, the shop thought they were profesional pictures taken with a professional camera. Considering that we hadn't read the user manual and pretty much used it as a point & click camera, thats not bad! I had a different sony cybershot, a little compact point & click type which is good but no-where near the quality & functionality that this camera has.
the first reason i decided to buy was because, i had purchased a lumix of ebay and it had got lost in the post, i wanted a camera for christmas and the sony came on christmas eve! happy with this camera as it came with lots of extras! overall it is quite good, it takes good pictures but you need a steady hand or get yourself a tripod!i would recomend to the not so good photographer! like myself! still getting use to the sony!
When I first saw this camera in the flesh I thought, hear we go again back to school learning all the features.How wrong was I , its got a read me fist leaflet that gets you taking photo's in no time and still had lots of features to go at.I found the camera easy to hold and took some pictures in minutes of taking out of the box ,features include anti shake red eye reduction and auto focus.As a complete novice at taking photographs and thought would never take a good picture in my life this camera made it easy for me to do so.Still got a lot to learn about taking good photographs, may be a DSLR in two or three years when I need interchangable lens's and so on but for the price this is a very good buy and recommend as a first mid range camera.
