The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B has a super steady shot – and is excellent for fast motion shots. It has tons of neat settings to allow you to catch the perfect shot. The macro and close up capability has amazing detail – and the zoom quality is quite incredible.

While you are learning the features of the camera, leave the setting on to give you detailed info on the little icons indicating what they do. Once you know all the features you want to use then you can turn it off.

You can edit peoples faces ON the camera to make it look like they were smiling! How cool is that? Another great feature is the ability to set priority face recognition so that it will focus on the person you want it to when you’re shooting pictures, that way the person you want is always in clear.

The biggest positive about this Sony Cyber-shot camera is its consistently good picture quality and performance. It’s like a mini-dslr because you can switch it to Manual mode and you can adjust the aperture and shutter speed so you can do panning as well. A small camera that really works.

It’s a compact camera that fits neatly in a bag, or into a large pocket. It’s not as small as some of the slimline cameras but with the extra zoom capability you will forgive it the extra size.

The battery life is also impressive, as long as you keep your screen on a regular bright setting. If it’s on super bright then it will go down much quicker, but it is rechargeable so you don’t have to keep buying batteries.

If you are going to take lots of video you will need more memory, but you’ll get around 30 minutes on a 2 Gig card sot it’s got to be LOT’s before it will really worry you.

Another useful feature is that you can press the play button when the camera is switched off to view the photos on the camera without having the lens come out. Also while switched off just plugg it into your pc with the supplied USB cord and retrieve the photos. You can use the supplied photo cd but it’s not mandatory.

It’s a very solid camera with many useful features and very nice quality pictures, especially during the daytime and in bright sunny conditions. Very versatile with lots of great features, even just set to auto the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B digital camera can go from feathers on a bird from 25 yards(10x) to a bug on your sleeve (1/2″ away) without pushing any buttons.
