The Sony DSC-H3 is the latest addition
to the company's Cyber-shot H-series, forming a new entry point to the
line beneath the existing DSC-H7 and DSC-H9 models.
The Sony H3 combines eight megapixel resolution with
a 2.5" LCD display and a powerful Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar branded 10x
optical zoom lens, offering a range from a rather tight 38mm wide angle
to a very useful 380mm telephoto. As with previous H-series models, the
DSC-H3's lens incorporates Sony's Super Steady Shot optical image
stabilization to minimize blur caused by camera shake - an essential
feature for such a long zoom when not using a tripod.
Other Sony
H3 features include ISO sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 3200, an
advanced sports shooting mode which combines predictive continuous
autofocus with high shutter speeds, a Memory Stick Duo / PRO Duo card
slot plus 31MB of built in memory, and power from a proprietary Lithium
Ion rechargeable battery. The DSC-H3 also offers high definition
component video output, via a proprietary cable.
The H3 includes
Sony's face detection technology, which is linked not only to the
camera's autoexposure and autofocus systems as in most similar systems,
but also to white balance and flash metering as well - allowing the
camera to ensure proper flash exposure and pleasing flesh tones. Also,
the H3 includes Sony's Bionz image processor - first seen in the
company's Alpha digital SLRs - which the company says will offer
improved image quality, faster response times, and better battery life
in its compact cameras.
