Advantages: 10x optical zoom, large screen, Crisp Picture

Disadvantages: no zoom during video recording, small preview button, bulky

The Sony H10 is an 8.1 megapixel camera that uses a rechargeable battery and accepts only the Memory Stick Pro and Memory Stick Pro Duo memory cards. In addition, it has approximately 31 MB of internal memory, so limited shooting may be done without a memory card. The camera comes in a black or silver finish. On the silver model the hand grip and the extended lens are black.
The lens is a 10x optical zoom with Carl Zeiss glass. It has a variable aperture ranging from f/3.5 at the wide angle end to f/4.4 at the telephoto end. Digital zoom is also available via the menus. Shutter speeds range from 1/2000 to 30 seconds, depending on the exposure mode selected.

The Sony H10 provides the versatile shooting modes we have all come to expect:
Auto: For point-and-shoot purposes.
Program: For point-and-shoot purposes with some user overrides.
Manual: Permits user control of both shutter speed and aperture.
Movie: The H10 shoots movies with sound at up to 640x480/30 fps.
Scene: Six scene preset options, including Sony's Soft Snap portrait mode, are available.

Summary: highly recommended
