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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I love old Sony!

The trigger on my SONY DSCH1 is broken. Not a single part of the camera will touch him. It had to be sent directly to SONY in Japan. It was about $177. I've had it for over 5 years. I bought an expensive Olympus, then a Sony H1 to replace. These cameras cost twice as much as this one. (You would think they would be the BEST cameras for the price!) I returned both! Image quality was grainy! Of course, each of them had their own bells and whistles, excellent zooms, but the most important thing for me is the QUALITY of the picture! This SONY DHCS1 camera takes clear and sharp pictures! I was able to purchase a used one (from GamersMarket@gmail.com) for less than a replacement trigger. SONY DSCH1 uses 2 rechargeable AA batteries and a standard ScanDisk Memory Stick Duo. It also comes with a plastic lens protection screw that I use when it rains. (The new Sony H1 doesn't!) I'm not sure what's up with Sony. Why do their newer cameras ($400+) have blurry lenses!? The new cameras appear to be a BMW purchase with a plexiglass windshield! like QUALITY over frills. That's a great camera!

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • I won't say anything
