The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 has a look and feel of a SLR but is actually a super zoom camera. It is recommended for people who want a super zoom camera within a low budget. It has a good zoom range of up to 18x, however, due to its low price; it has a relatively narrow angle of view. Also, electronic viewfinder is absent.

The H10 will give you an average performance and if you come to expect an outstanding picture quality then you may not want to buy this camera. If you use the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 outdoors, particularly in bright sunlight then the pictures will be extremely sharp. Indoors, however, it’s a completely different story. Shots taken indoors have been reported by many users as dull and murky. This may lead you to wonder if this is the right choice in its price range.

Better picture, better quality, and more reliability is what Canon Power Shot D10 is here to offer. If you wish for a waterproof camera to click underwater pictures, then think of Canon, as this is the one of the renowned brands which has won thousands of hearts.

Movie quality is also brilliant. The LCD screen which is at the back of the camera is big, as compared to an old digital camera.

The controls of Canon PowerShot D10 are convenient and easy to use. The displayed icons are sensitive and informative. You can take macro photographs - an inch or two from your subject.
