Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H10 / H50

[rameshxavier]

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H10

• 8.1 Megapixels
• 3.0” LCD
• 310 shots
• 10x Optical Zoom
• 20x Digital Zoom

MRP Rs 15,990/- (Inclusive of all taxes)
EMI Rs 1333/- (For 12 months, 4 EMI in advance)


The good: Capable of excellent photos outdoors in good light; compact and comfortable.


The bad: No semimanual exposure modes; lens distortion; no zooming during movie capture; poor high-ISO noise profile; so-so auto white balance indoors.


The bottom line: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is a decent budget megazoom that can deliver very nice outdoor shots, but its photo quality falls short in other respects.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H50

• 9.1 Megapixels
• 3.0” LCD
• 300 shots
• 15x Optical Zoom
• 30x Digital Zoom

MRP Rs 19,990/- (Inclusive of all taxes)

The feature-packed Sony Cyber-shot H50 combines high imaging quality with extensive manual functions for precise creative control. Compact and easy to handle, it features a tough, scratch resistant finish that enhances the camera’s premium feel. The powerful Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 15x zoom lens makes the Sony H50 ideal for travel and other situations when you want crisp, clear close-ups without the penalty of carrying a big, bulky camera. The large, high-contrast 3-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus screen tilts up or down, adding an extra dimension of creative freedom when framing shots at any angle. There’s also an electronic viewfinder that provides a convenient alternative to framing shots with the LCD screen.


Features

*
15x Optical Zoom

Now you don’t have to get close to capture all the action. With the advanced 15x Optical Zoom in DSC-H50 and 10x Optical Zoom in DSC-H10, you can take your shots even from a distance.

*
Double Anti-Blur Solution

This technology lets you capture various scenes clearly even in low-light conditions, such as indoors without a flash and when capturing fast-moving subjects outdoors.

*
Super Steady Shot

Sensors in the camera detect shake and move the lens to compensate. In other words its true physical image stabilisation not the false stabilisation found on some other cameras which simply bump up the ISO to get a fast shutter speed.

*
Advanced Face Detection Technology

Sony’s advanced Face Detection technology synergises with Bionz to deliver highly precise, high-speed auto-focusing of up to 8 subjects’ faces when shooting portraits. This synergism ensures quick camera tracking of subjects, even when faces are slightly in motion, and significantly improves the performance of various camera features.

*
Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode

These cameras feature new intelligent scene recognition (iSCN) technology, which allows the camera to automatically select the optimal scene mode for a variety shooting situations. In advanced iSCN mode, the camera will take a photo based on the user’s settings. If the camera determines that another setting would yield better exposure, it will automatically take a second photo with that setting. The user ultimately has two images to choose from.

*
High Sensitivity

High sensitivity reduces subject shake blur so you can capture clear images anytime — even when shooting at sporting events.

*
Smile Shutter

Simply activate Smile Shutter, and the camera takes a picture — automatically! Using Sony’s proprietary algorithm, this innovative intelligent auto shutter system responds actively to smiling faces. To start, just choose Smile Shutter from Scene Selection, then press the shutter fully on the subject to be taken; the camera automatically detects the smiling face and closes the shutter.
