Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H5, Digital Still Camera, 7.0 Megapixel, 12x Optical, 2x Digital Zoom, 3.0" LCD SCreen, Color: Black

Clad in black, the DSC-H5 model has a 7.2-megapixel CCD imager & extra-large, 3" LCD screen. The camera flaunts a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 12x optical zoom lens & focal length ranges of 36 to 432 millimeters (35 mm equivalence).

High-zoom cameras are one of the fastest-growing segments in the industry, they are powerful enough to get those hard-to-see distant shots, & have the easy-to-use functionality of point-and-shoot cameras.

Even without the steadiest of hands (or subjects), the cameras' anti-blur technologies ensure challenging shots can be executed with ease.

This model incorporates Sony's Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization to help reduce image blur caused by hand movement. Because the DSC-H5 features high-light sensitivity settings up to IS0 1000, fast-moving cars & people along the boulevard can also be captured with considerably less blur & graininess.

Sony's Clear RAW noise reduction technology minimizes picture noise, making it easier to shoot at faster shutter speeds. The anti-blur technology is an advantage when shooting in low-light conditions, such as outdoor shots in the evening or inside dark museums.

These shots can be taken without a flash, resulting in naturally-exposed images that truly capture the drama & atmosphere of the moment. And, you can get as close as you want with the cameras' significant macro mode of 3/4"
