Review summary: If sports or action photography is high on your list, then the Sony DSC-H3 is the winner with the TZ3 fading down the stretch....

Pros: Compact 8MP 10x digicam with OIS

Cons: Small LCD screen; limited manual adjustments

Review summary: The Sony DSC H3 is one of the more compact super zoom digital cameras. This model has 8 megapixels and a 10x zoom lens. Picture quality is very good and it also has one of the lowest shutter delay times. Recommended.

Pros: Picture quality - fast shutter lag times - build quality - design

Cons: Hard to say!

Verdict: Picture quality, build quality and shutter delay times are all very impressive. I really enjoyed testing this camera and would be happy to own one. It is smaller than most super zoom models and sells for a reasonable price. Recommended

Review summary: This is one of several cameras that nestle in between the low-priced compact segment and the entry-level digital SLRs.

Review summary: 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

Verdict: The Sony H3 combines eight megapixel resolution with a 2.5-inch 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-ser

Pros: 10x zoom, slim build, lots of features, nice colour balance, fast
