Sony CyberShot DSC-H50 offers tilting screen
15 Jul 2008
A new camera from Sony is the manufacturer’s latest attempt to bridge the gap between compact and digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) models.
The Sony CyberShot DSC-H50 is a 9.1-megapixel camera that is equipped with a 15x optical zoom, Carl Zeiss lens and a host of extra features, Trusted Reviews reports.
In addition to a three-inch LCD display fitted on a tilting hinge to allow users to take shots from waist level while viewing the image from above, the camera comes with a number of focus options.
“Sony has also included face detection and smile detection, which fires the shutter when the camera recognises the curve of the mouth,” the article adds.
However, the Sony CyberShot DSC-H50 does suffer from some handling problems and the review concludes that for this reason another model may be better for digital camera shoppers.
One such camera could be the Fuji Finepix S9600, a nine-megapixel unit with a 10.7x optical zoom and two-inch tilting LCD display.
