Sony CyberShot DSC-W70 - Review @ Steve’sDigicams
Steve’sDigicams have recently published a review of the Sony CyberShot DSC-W70, a 7.20 megapixel CCD sensor point-and-shoot digital camera with 3x optical zoom (equivalent to 38 - 114mm ), and 2.5″ LCD screen display.
“The W70’s image quality was very good, the equal of its siblings. Outdoor images were well- exposed and sharp with true to life colors. Indoor shots are limited to small rooms and small group portraits because of the limited flash range (12 feet at wide angle) and the lens limited field of view at its full 38mm wide angle. Portraits had realistic skin tones, but the red eye reduction flash mode proved only marginally effective because of its relatively weak power. Autofocus worked quite well in dim lighting, helped by the focus assist lamp. Flash power was well controlled at close range, making the W70 a good candidate for capturing images of small objects for online auction listings.”

Sony CyberShot DSC-H5 - Review @ DigitalCameraInfo
DigitalCameraInfo have published their review of the Sony Cyber-shot H5, a point-and-shoot digital camera with 7.0 megapixel (6.0 mp for H2) CCD sensor, a huge 12x optical zoom (equivalent to 36 - 432mm), and 2.5″ LCD screen display.
“With its $499 retail price, the Sony H5 is priced right on par with its competitors. Several other manufacturers are offering similar ultra-zoom cameras at this price point. There is always some give and take, though. Other models offer better burst modes–but no other small ultra-zoom model currently provides a 3-inch LCD screen. The value is always in the eye of the consumer.”

Ten Stabilised Digital Cameras Comparison
BeHardware have recently done a survey comparing 10 Stabilised Digital Cameras including Canon Ixus 800-IS, Casio Exilim S600, FujiFilm FinePix F11, Konica Minolta Dimage X1, Nikon Coolpix P4, Olympus Mju 720 SW, Pentax Optio W10, Panasonic DMCFX01, Ricoh Caplio R3, and Sony DSC-T9. In the conclusion they write;
“We were looking for a compact, thin, fast, camera with image stabilization. Out of the 10 tested, one clearly finishes ahead, the Canon Ixus 800-IS. It doesn’t have major disadvantages, it’s good for macro, video and has a 4x zoom instead of the 3x of most of its competitors.”
Sony Cybershot DSC-T30 - Review @ ImagingResource
ImagingResource have recently published a review of the Sony CyberShot DSC-T30, a 7.2 megapixels (CCD sensor) point-and-shoot digital camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x Optical Zoom lens (38-116mm equivalent), built-in image stabilisation, and a huge 3.0″ LCD screen.
PROS: Ultra-slim form factor, literally shirt-pocket sized, Very effective image stabilization for steady photos even in limited lighting, Excellent lens, very sharp, softens only in extreme corners, chromatic aberration is lower than average, Excellent video capability (with sound), surprising in such a tiny camera, Excellent battery life, Excellent print quality. CONS: High-ISO shots are very noisy under limited-light conditions, So-so white balance performance under household incandescent lighting, Bright color is nice, but strong blues are oversaturated, may be a bit much for some users.”

Sony CyberShot DSC-H5 - Review @ DPInterface
DPInterface have published their review of the Sony Cyber-shot H5, a point-and-shoot digital camera with 7.0 megapixel (6.0 mp for H2) CCD sensor, a huge 12x optical zoom (equivalent to 36 - 432mm), and 2.5″ LCD screen display.
“In terms of performance, the H5 did better than the Canon S3 IS and Kodak Z612 but lagged slightly behind Panasonic’s cameras. Overall image quality was good and impressed me much and I’d be more than happy to recommend this camera to anyone who wants a big zoom camera with manual controls. Despite that, the Sony H5 does not have the ultimate control or super speed which may put off sports photographers or speed fanatics (like me). Oh yes, one more thing - is the H5 a better deal than the H2? It definitely is.”

Sony CyberShot DSC-H5 - Review @ CNET
CNET have published their review of the Sony Cyber-shot H5, a point-and-shoot digital camera with 7.0 megapixel (6.0 mp for H2) CCD sensor, a huge 12x optical zoom (equivalent to 36 - 432mm), and 2.5″ LCD screen display.
“Photos from the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H5 had natural, accurate colors that were neither over- nor undersaturated. As with the Cyber Shot DSC-H2, manual white balance provided the most neutral results with our tungsten test lights, while the tungsten setting came a close second. The auto setting turned in slightly warm photos with our lights, though it did a good job in daylight. Exposures were generally accurate. Very modest purple fringing turned up in high-contrast areas, but it was less prevalent than in shots from the DSC-H2.”

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5 - Review @ DCRP
DCRP have published their review of the Sony Cyber-shot H5, a point-and-shoot digital camera with 7.0 megapixel (6.0 mp for H2) CCD sensor, a huge 12x optical zoom (equivalent to 36 - 432mm), and 2.5″ LCD screen display.
“Camera performance was above average in most areas. The H5 starts up in an average 2.2 seconds, but once you’re up and running everything is snappy. Focus times are quick, shutter lag was not an issue, and shot-to-shot delays are minimal…Overall the DSC-H5 produced very good quality photos. The photos were well-exposed with pleasing colors and low noise levels considering the resolution of the camera. Sharpness levels were right where I like them — not too sharp, not too soft. My only complaint is that purple fringing levels are higher than I’d expect these days.”

Sony CyberShot DSC-T30 - Review @ DPInterface
DPInterface have recently published their review of the Sony CyberShot DSC-T30, a 7.2 megapixels (CCD sensor) point-and-shoot digital camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x Optical Zoom lens (38-116mm equivalent), built-in image stabilisation, and a huge 3.0″ LCD screen.
“Barrel and pincushion distortion are not noticeable. There is little chromatic aberration (color fringing) and the T30 had very slight problems differentiating the two purples. The image quality of the Sony Cyber-shot T30 is very good and deserves my acknowledgment.
…In case you haven’t gotten the point yet, I like the Sony Cyber-shot T30 (very much!). While it’s not the perfect ultra-compact, it is perfect for most shooting conditions. It’s a great overall camera and I highly recommend it to those who want pocketable performance.”

Sony Cybershot DSC-H2 - Review @ DigitalCameraReview
DigitalCameraReview have recently published a review of the Sony Cybershot DSC-H2, a 6.0 megapixel CCD sensor point-and-shoot digital camera featuring a 6.0 megapixel CCD sensor, huge 12x optical zoom (equivalent to 36 - 432mm), and a 2.5″ LCD screen display.
“Overall, I was impressed with the image quality of the H2. Colors were accurate and a bit “punched up”. Images showed good detail at varying focal lengths with good sharpness out to the edges. The auto white balance did a good job in mixed lighting and skin tones looked natural and not too reddish.In tricky lighting conditions (shady areas with bright sunlit areas), the camera had a tendency for overexposure. If you notice this, just bump down the exposure compensation until the image suits you.”

Sony Cybershot DSC-T30 - Review @ DCRP
DCRP’s Jeff Keller has recently published a review of the Sony CyberShot DSC-T30, a 7.2 megapixels (CCD sensor) point-and-shoot digital camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x Optical Zoom lens (38-116mm equivalent), built-in image stabilisation, and a huge 3.0″ LCD screen.
Photo quality was very good in most situations. The T30 typically took well-exposed photos with accurate color and low noise levels. Speaking of noise, you’ll be able to make large prints through ISO 200, and maybe at ISO 400 as well (noise reduction software will certainly help here). The ISO 800 and 1000 settings weren’t very impressive, with lots of noise and noticeably worse color saturation. Purple fringing levels were above average, and redeye was a big problem as well. The T30 probably isn’t the best choice if you shoot under unusual lighting, as my macro test shot hopefully showed. If you do a lot of that then you’ll probably want to find a camera with a custom white balance feature.”. “
