Sony CyberShot DSC-H50
The camera also features a large, 3-inch tilting LCD screen so you can shoot comfortably from nearly any position, at low and high angles. Its scratch-resistant, UV hard-coat finish adds a premium look and feel that mirrors the performance of the model.
Improved Advanced Sports Shooting Mode Its improved “advanced sports” shooting mode now employs a system to apply higher shutter speeds, up to 1/4000 of a second, more frequently than on previous models. This mode combines high shutter speeds with predictive continuous auto-focusing so you can quickly focus and capture fast-moving subjects with minimal shutter lag basically the time it takes for the camera to focus and shoot.
Sophisticated Operation The camera’s versatile, long-distance flash is powerful enough to illuminate subjects more than 55 feet away (when using ISO 3200, wide angle).
Noise reduction is now a user-selectable option, with high, low and standard settings, for greater control over the final look of images. For example, a high setting used for portraits or night scenes can help produce smoothly textured images with reduced noise.
The unit features extensive manual controls, including an exposure bracketing mode that newly includes settings for white balance and color modes. This function records three images, each with a different white balance or color mode applied, to help capture the ambience of the original scene.
Smart Technology to Capture Better Photos Automatically The camera also incorporates intelligent features that help you take better pictures more easily. They include improved smile shutter and face detection technologies with child or adult priority recognition, as well as, intelligent scene recognition with standard and advanced modes to analyze shooting conditions and select the optimal setting automatically.
Other helpful features include a new D-Range Optimizer (DRO) plus mode that applies a high image correction algorithm to retrieve more picture detail in bright highlights and dark shadows; NightShot® technology to help capture photos in virtually no light as well as infrared remote access; five color modes including “real” for less in-camera processing and more faithful color reproduction; in-camera editing features; advanced in-camera image management functions; improved slide show functions with longer music files; and HD component output for viewing photos on a compatible HDTV set.
Pricing and Availability The H50 model will soon sit at the top of the Cyber-shot high zoom line. It will ship in May for about $400 with a full line of accessory options. All can be purchased online at www.sonystyle.com, at Sony Style® retail stores, at military base exchanges and at authorized dealers nationwide.

Sony H50, Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ18S or Nikon Coolpix P80?
Debating between these 3 cameras for indoor and outdoor shots of active grandchildren at everyday activities and school concerts , weddings, scenery, - need a camera that covers it all!
just bought the H50 on Friday and used it at a wedding on Saturday on loch lomond. It was simply stunning! Outshone my fathers a350 in most situations. Especially due it fitting in your sporran (just) while dancing! Usedthe nikon but I prefered the Sony layout and menus, they are quirky but fast to use. I have large hands and had no issue bumping the wrong keys. Got the camera from Jessops online and picked up from store for a twenty quid over 200 notes!
I have been using my H50 for about 2 months now in Iraq and have photographed over 1300 images since arriving with this camera. The majority of my photo’s taken from the H50 has been very good and people are quick to point out the clarity. The zoom lens on this camera has been one of the biggest functions that i enjoy very much while on assignment here. It makes shooting a whole lot easier, especially in hard to reach spots and etc.
It’s been almost 4 month that I bought that camera. I probably taken more then 3500 images with it. the uses and the focus is too good but kinda hard focusing devices if zoom too close. manual settings and the color filter gives u a new look of the images and also the in editing option. very addictive which make you keep taking shots.. specially the night scenes with the remote to avoid blur. the DRO mode works too well.
Bad :: the battery life is poor. thinking of buying a spare battery next month
