Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H3 Digital Camera Review

The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H3 – a great all-rounder

If you are looking for an ultra-compact digital camera but don’t want to compromise on the features, technology or price, the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H3 is ideal. With an 8.1 effective megapixel resolution and powerful 10x optical zoom, this digital camera produces stunning shots every time.

Spectacular Image Quality

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 is one of the smallest digital cameras in the Sony range to feature an impressive Carl Zeiss 10x zoom lens, which allows to you take photographs of far-away subjects with outstanding clarity. With a wide range you can shoot more creatively depending on the occasion and your surroundings – panoramic landscapes, action shots of people or animals, or even personal portraits. The 17x HD Smart Zoom enhances magnification – perfect for viewing your powerful telephoto images in stunning quality on an HD-Ready television.

Intelligent Shooting Modes

Capture and relive action sports, with the Advanced Sports Shooting Mode, which combines a high 1/2000 sec shutter speed with predictive auto-focus; the results are crisp and clear shots of fast-moving subjects. If you want perfect photos of friends and family, the Face Detection technology helps to reduce the risk of spoiled shots. Driven by the fantastic BIONZ image processor, Face Detection will automatically adjust the flash, exposure and other settings; plus the enhanced auto-focus and sophisticated eye detection guarantee wonderfully sharp, but natural, portraits – even when using the zoom, if lighting is poor, or if your subjects are moving.

Double Anti-Blur Technology

The Cyber-shot DSC-H3 also features Double Anti-Blur technology which teams Super SteadyShot image stabilisation with a high sensitivity rating (ISO 3200). This helps to minimise camera shake for blur-free, crisp and naturally-lit images even when shooting without the flash, indoors or in poor light. Sony’s Clear RAW NR noise reduction and Dynamic Range Optimiser technologies are also useful in reducing colour and luminance noise, and adjusting the exposure and contrast, to ensure that every image is perfectly balanced and natural.

Enjoy High Definition Quality

Connect the Cyber-shot DSC-H3 to any HD Ready TV (requires optional cable) to view and share your stunning images in all their glory. Photo TV HD optimises your photos for more subtle, natural colour – something not possible on conventional televisions. View your slideshows with a background MP3 soundtrack which can be imported from your PC, and select one of the four visual effects (Simple, Nostalgic, Active and Stylish) to complete the experience.

Digital Photography Made Simple

The Cyber-shot DSC-H3 has an easy-to-use on-screen setting guide and handy ‘home’ button, allowing you to quickly navigate the various options. You can even retouch your photos without having to transfer them to a PC – annoying red eye can be removed, images can be trimmed, and four filter effects can be applied to your shots for that added dimension.
