The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX1 is actually quite a remarkable camera. Whereas most camera models try to improve on the megapixels, Sony did nothing of that sort and instead concentrated on the lens. And the end result is a wonderful product that hit the headlines.

It offers an incredible 20x optical zoom, which is 28-560mm. Plus, there is also the option to add on the 1.7x teleconverter – this lets you push your telephoto end to 952mm, making this quite an incredible camera. Many people believe that a model that comes with such a super zoom simply cannot be friendly to the shirt pocket. But this is another area where the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX1 scores over competition. The model remains surprisingly lightweight.

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.
