Sony Digital Camera by Rahima Willowbend (Philadelphia, PA)  5 Stars
November 24, 2009
This is a very good camera for the money. It takes great pictures and great video. It would be nice if it was able to record stereo sound but if you're primarily looking for something that takes stills then that won't be an issue. This camera was for my cousins in Vietnam so I did not have a lot of time to play around with it but with the time spent with it, I was very satisfied with my purchase. The camera is a nice size too. Makes you feel like you're a photo nerd with an SLR camera even though you don't know anything about photography.

GOOD UPGRADE FROM MY OLD SONY CYBERSHOT by Harpreet Singh Chawla (india)  4 Stars
November 24, 2009
I have been using cybershots since its inception, and have always been happy with the results. But still I always missed the results to the like of my Canon SLR film camera. I have a strong belief that the compact cameras do offer lot of ease in shooting and carrying but they fail to perform like the professional S L R cameras. The small size of the lens and limited optical zoom is the main concern. The pictures taken during the day light are excellent but the ones taken in dim light and with flash are not up to the mark and a lot of improvement has to be done digital in the P C. The new Sony cybershot H-20 fulfills the requirement of a light weight and sleek camera with the features and picture quality of a SLR Camera for the not so serious photographers like me. I am happy with my purchase and recommend this camera strongly

This camera uses the memory stick "Mark 2" 4 Stars
November 23, 2009
I find the camera is excelent but in the information about the memory stick it uses they miss something very important that you should know. When I bougth the memory stick 4gb for any sony camera I had problemes using it in the camera, I have allways a message that there is a problem with the memory card.. then I looked in the internet about the problem I found out that the memory stick for this camera is the Mark 2 one, now I am using the other one because it works but the message allways appears and it is anoysing.. anyway I have to buy the Mark 2 memory stick to stop this problem. And I am not sure if the picture cuality is affected for the wrong memory.

Disappointed in Picture Quality by Ratty (Brevard, NC)  1 Stars
November 17, 2009
I owned a Sony Cybershot 3.2 megapixel camera for 6 years and loved it. It took great pictures--far better than the newer higher megapixel cameras my friends owned. Unfortunately I recently "clanked" the camera on a rock and damaged the lens beyond repair. I was excited to purchase a new camera and settled on the Cybershot H2O because of all the positive reviews and my own experience with the older model. I hoped the few negative reviews that appeared here were a result of a rare factory defect.
I have used the camera for 3 weeks now and I am disappointed. I take mostly scenery pictures of the beautiful North Carolina mountains. The default color and light intensity settings greatly overexpose the pictures and tend to wash them out. Fall colors here are outstanding but one wouldn't believe it based upon the pictures. To compensate I have to underexpose the pictures by 0.7 - 1.0EV and increase the color intensity. This can be done in several of the camera settings but it is a pain. The pictures are not sharp. The normally sharp horizon of the mountains appears blurred in the pictures--as if the camera has 20/60 vision. No mode on the camera solves this problem.
The camera has a 10X optical zoom. However, the pictures are not sharp. The camera appears to be "confused" as how to focus the image.
The "Easy" setting is useless for scenery shots because it has no manual override. Therefore, the pictures are over exposed and under saturated in color.
The flash button does not turn on the flash. One has to manually force the flash on from an on-screen menu. This is difficult to see on a bright day when the subject is backlight. The default flash intensity is too high for indoor photos of human subjects. They get washed out. I have to manually reduce the flash intensity from the default setting.
The least movement by ones subject creates a blurred image in not very low light conditions such as shade. This was extremely disappoinging when taking pictures of my grandson who was playing in the raked leaves. To capture him I would probably have had to switch the camera to the "Manual" setting. Rather cumbersome. You can't retake an action photo. He won't play in the leaves again this year. I tossed the photos out once viewing them.
The camera takes high-definition video. But this is only useful if one keeps the video in the camera without transferring it to a computer. The video needs to be played from the camera to a HD TV. The video can't be played on the computer using Windows Media Player. One needs to download a free compatible program, "VLC Media Player".
The camera will not record the date on the pictures. I liked looking at my pictures taken with my old Cybershot knowing the date they were taken. A real advantage when viewing a slide show or screensaver.
Of course, this camera as all of the new cameras are memory hogs--4.5Mb/picture. The increased number of megapixels is not worth it.
The camera has a large LCD screen for viewing pictures. This is a nice feature that all new cameras have. It has no viewfinder. So one has to use the LCD screen for framing pictures and viewing the many camera settings. I don't have 20/20 near vision and this is a problem. I don't like wearing reading glasses to take pictures. Not many new cameras have viewfinders.
I would not recommend this camera. Find an under $100 camera that will take better pictures.

Excellent camera for the money! by Lara (Nederland,CO) 5 Stars
November 14, 2009
This is such an amazing camera. I had heard that it might not do well in humidity but took it to Costa Rica and it performed amazingly. The picture quality is outstanding. Haven't had any problems with it at all and have had it for 6 months and have taken over 2500 pictures in all conditions, low light, indoors, out, and even taken pictures of poisen dart frogs in the dark with just a flash light and got National Geographic type pics! Highly recommend it!
