Review on πŸ“· Sony Cybershot DSCH1 5.1MP Digital Camera with Enhanced 12x 'Steady Shot' Zoom (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Julie Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Note for those new to Cybershot (battery, memory card, manual)

I bought this from Revain inventory. If you do the same, you really need to know a few things: - This camera originally came with 2 rechargeable AA batteries and seems very partial to them. You also need batteries since this thing doesn't work with regular Duracells. It turns on briefly and then turns off again. So add $15 to the purchase price for batteries and charger. This camera uses a memory card, but the card must be in the memory card adapter. I put a new Sony memory card in the memory card slot and it rattled miserably. If there's a brand of large memory card that doesn't require an adapter, I don't know about it. So add $30 to the purchase price of the card and adapter. If you're buying from Revain stock, chances are you won't have an owner's manual. Please note that there is more than one version of the user manual if you copy and paste the name of this camera into Google. It's weird, but well, Sony at least it's free. Download a few of them, choose your favorite. Same information but different/better ways of providing information. Note: I give this camera 5 stars but the batteries/memory card haven't arrived yet so who knows. This note is for my fellow newbies only. I mean I've grown. I have bought many soap chambers in my life. I bought DISK FILM cameras for goodness sake! I always just turn it on and start taking pictures. I hope that a special Sony snowflake will be made soon. EDIT: - And no installation CD from stock. The USB/camera cable is an old version of USB, you'll have to dig around your garage to find an old one.
