First thing you’ll notice when picking up the Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is the whopping 3-inch LCD screen, a major upgrade from its previous H3 model’s 2.5in.  Other headline features include compact dimensions, an 8-megapixel sensor, a 10x zoom lens, Super Steady Shot image stabilisation, Dynamic Range Optimisation,  Face Detection, and HDTV output.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 comes in either silver or black with a very sleek finish which can be a bit slippery for handling.

Stock comes with only 31MB of memory so out-the-box shooting is limited without any memory card, which it’ll only use the Memory Stick Pro and Memory Stick Pro Duo. Shutter speeds can range from 1/2000 to 30 seconds and the lens is a 10x optical zoom with Carl Zeiss glass.  The menu is known to be a bit slow.

The H-10 is still a step away from Sony’s claimed flagship H-50.  It’ll take above average quality pictures but not outstanding preformance.  Great for those looking for a moderately priced megazoom.   No longer available for purchase from offical store SonyStyle, but is priced at $389.95 at Amazon.

Some key features includes:

• Sony 8.1 Megapixel effective CCD image sensor
• Carl Zeiss 10x Zoom (38-380mm equivalent in 35mm photography)
• Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization fights motion blur, even during longer exposures at full zoom.

• 3.0-inch LCD screen (230,000 pixels)
• ISO Sensitivity: Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200
• High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200) allows you to shoot with great results in low-light conditions
• Built-in flash with Auto, Forced On and Off, Red Eye Reduction and Slow Synchro
• USB 2.0 high speed Auto-Connect to host computer
