The Sony CyberShot H1 offers a compelling combination of high resolution, powerful zoom, and ergonomic styling. As one of only a handful of digital cameras with a 12x zoom available today, the Sony H1 is a great choice for nature photography or any situation where it’s necessary to get up close to your subject.

To guard against image shake at full zoom, the Sony H1 has an optical image stabilization system; other notable features include a large 2.5″ LCD screen and a live histogram to help you expose your pictures correctly. Other key features include a pop-up flash, 32 Megabytes of internal memory2, and MPEG Movie VX video capture capabilities. It is PictBridge compatible so you can easily print photographs directly from the camera onto compatible photo printers without the need of a personal computer.

Sony CyberShot H1

PC Magazine recently reciewed this digicam and they said-

“The Sony Cyber-shot H1 is a decent buy, especially considering the superzoom’s price. But shutter lag and problems with the flash shots hold it back. We’d still recommend the Editors’ Choice–winning Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 for its excellent image quality and multitude of manual options for advanced users.”
