“The Sony Cyber-shot H5 is priced at $499, which is a decent value with its 7.2 megapixels, 3-inch LCD screen, 12x zoom lens, image stabilization system, manual functionality and high ISO ratings. For a hundred dollars less, the Sony H2 has 6 megapixels, a 2-inch LCD screen, and the same 12x zoom and exposure modes. This H2 has some upgraded features from the H1, such as the Carl Zeiss branded lens and the print guide function and such. However, the H2 also takes a step down from the 5-megapixel H1’s 2.5-inch, 115k LCD screen. The Cyber-shot H2 and H1 models have the same $399 retail price, but the older H1 can be found in stores for much less. Overall, the H5 and H2 are fairly priced. They aren’t budget models, but have a full list of features to offer for their cost.”
