Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20
Digital Camera Review
Mar 05, 2009
- By Richard Baguley
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 falls into a curious mid-range point in the consumer camera market. With a 10X zoom lens, it doesn't have the incredible zoom reach of some cameras. But neither does it have the sleek, thin profile of other compact cameras; it has a practical, blocky design that is more for use than show. But it does have an attractive feature set, shooting 10.1 megapixel images and 720p high definition video.
