Sony Cybershot DSC-H50 Review
Cyber-shot DSC-H50 (2008, 9.1 megapixel, 15x optical zoom) is a line of digital cameras made by Sony. The Cyber-shot range is well known for its proprietary InfoLithium battery pack, the trademark Carl Zeiss lenses and overall design. Also, all Cyber-shot cameras accept Sony’s proprietary Memory Stick or Memory Stick PRO Duo flash memory. Some high-end models have also supported CompactFlash. All Cyber-shot models have a DSC prefix in their names, which is an acronym for “Digital Still Camera”.
CNET Sony Cybershot DSC-H50 Review
The good: Versatile mix of ease-of-use features and manual controls; tilting 3-inch LCD; good color reproduction; zoom operates in movie mode.
The bad: Slowish startup and shutdown; occasional fringing, noise issues; no raw support or hot shoe.
The bottom line: Though its lens isn’t as wide and suffers from many of the same lens artifacts as its competitors, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 is a good megazoom camera with a lot of features for experiment-minded snapshooters.
