About this model
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is a compact superzoom camera built around a 10x optical zoom. Its Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens covers roughly 38–380mm, taking you from everyday wide shots to a tight telephoto reach without changing lenses, and optical image stabilisation helps keep handheld telephoto shots sharp. The 8.1-megapixel sensor and Sony's BIONZ processor deliver straightforward point-and-shoot results, while manual exposure modes give you room to learn. A 3-inch screen makes framing and reviewing easy, and the camera runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It suits anyone wanting more zoom than a compact offers without the size or cost of a DSLR.
