Camera Overview — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around an 8MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor paired with Sony's BIONZ image processor. The camera offers an ISO range spanning 80 to 3200, giving it reasonable flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with face detection AF across 9 focus points, making it well suited for everyday people photography.

The 3.0-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots serves as the primary framing and review tool, as there is no viewfinder present. Optical image stabilization is built in, helping to reduce camera shake during handheld shooting. For video, the H10 captures footage at up to 480p at 30fps in 8-bit color with a Standard color profile.

Burst shooting is supported at up to 1.6 frames per second. The body is constructed from plastic, measures 106 x 69 x 49 mm, and weighs 264g — a genuinely pocketable package. Storage is handled via Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO Duo, or the camera's internal storage.

Connectivity includes USB, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. A built-in pop-up flash covers Auto, On, Off, Slow Sync, and Red-eye reduction modes. Battery life is rated at approximately 310 shots per charge on the NP-BG1 cell.
