Camera Overview — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H100

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H100 is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by Sony's Bionz image processor. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels and records video at up to 720p/30fps in 8-bit color. The ISO range runs from 80 to 3200, giving shooters some flexibility across varied lighting conditions.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system with 9 focus points and subject tracking, though eye tracking is not included. Image stabilization is digital/electronic in nature, with no in-body optical stabilization on board. The 3.0-inch fixed LCD display offers 460,000 dots of resolution, and there is no optical viewfinder.

Storage options are broad, covering SD, SDHC, and Memory Stick formats. The camera runs on four AA (LR6/HR6) batteries with an estimated 350 shots per charge — a practical choice for travel since AA batteries are universally available. The plastic body measures 122.9 x 83.2 x 81.3 mm and weighs 515g, with no weather sealing.

A built-in flash is included, but there is no hot shoe for external flash units. Connectivity is limited to USB, with no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Six color profile options are available for stills, including Vivid, Sepia, Toy Camera, and Partial Color.
