Excelente cámara
Hace más de un año que compré la DSC-H2 y aun me parece que la compra fue buena. Esta cámara permite a los amateur practicar con distintos tipos de fotografías en diferentes ambientes, lo cual la hace muy versátil. Por supuesto no es un modelo para llevarla en el bolsillo ya que es un poco voluminosa y eso pudiera incomodar a la hora de tener que llevarla consigo. Una parte buena es que usa pilas AA normales o recargables lo que permite estar que el usuario no se quede sin baterías ya que se consiguen en cualquier parte. En cuanto a la calidad de las fotos son muy buenas y uno puede elegir la calidad de las mismas. Cuando uso distintos tipos de exposiciones, resulta una experiencia muy buena debido a los resultados que se pueden obtener. Si la memoria lo permite, se pueden grabar varios minutos de video, pero pero en este caso la calidad de las películas no es muy buena y es por ello que considero que no es perfecta, sin embargo cuando necesito videos, la uso aunque se que me debo cuidar de ciertas tomas en las que la cámara no responde como uno quisiera, de todas formas la recomiendo ampliamente si el interesado quiere buenas fotos y algo de video. Si compra una cámara de este tipo, y no es un usuario experimentado, le recomiendo buscar en cualquier librería especializada, libros de fotografías y verá que muchas cosas y trucos que se indican en esos libros, los podrá ejecutar sin ningún problema.

Beautiful camera but be forewarned
I love the quality of photos that this thing lets you snap out. Range of focus can get a little annoying if you're a chronic macro mode user (as I am), but it's still beautiful.
I'd give it 5 stars except for one little detail: that darn shutter button. I went into this purchase knowing full well that at some point, that little button would come off. 8000 photos in... yep there it went, right in my hand.
You can still take photos by jury rigging it with a paperclip, but it's a little hair-raising to worry about potentially warping the auto-focus (Which is what I hear is going to be the next part to die), but it's doable.
The replacement part will cost and if you want it priority shipped, for some reason it's another . >.< The box for the button is, no joke, a foot tall (the button's half the size of a dime, mind you. Did it NEED that much protection??).
So yeah, wonderful camera. Beautiful image quality, giving many lower-end DSLRs a run for their money. Bad button design.

Excellent Camera
Excellent camera. Lots of great features and helpful tech support. Only problem is getting it repaired. I scratched the lens & Sony wants 1.00 to repair it-at the minimum. There are no dealers near me, which means packing it, shipping it and insuring it. I only paid 0.00 for the camera, so I didn't think it was worth the repair charges. I ended up buying a sub-compact camera, but will miss this one.

Defective Shutter Button
Be sure to read all posts for this product. Flimsy construction, costly repairs. Essentially this is a disposable camera.

broke after one week
The camera is excellent, but the shutter button broke after one week of use (at the beginning of a long trip in China...!) and could not hold the focus or use the macro function. It seems that this is a defect of the series. Be aware of it! (I hope that in the meantime they have fixed the problem though)
