Design and Ergonomics

With compact dimensions of just 107.3 x 68.7 x 47.1mm and weighing 279g, the H20 is not quite handbag size, but is comfortable to use. An ergonomic bulge on the shutter button side aids handling, and images are viewable on the 3 inch LCD.

Picture Quality and Lens

With10.1 megapixels you can get just over 10x12 inch print at full resolution with greater enlargement possible to achieve high quality poster size prints. The 10 times Carl Zeiss optical zoom is a 35mm film equivalent to 38 - 380mm, which will give you a perspective from a touch over standard wide angle to full telephoto for small group pictures and good portraits and court-based sports.
It also has a 20 times digital zoom and a Bionz processor that produces smooth colour tones and enhanced with Double Anti-blur technology for right, fine detailed shooting.
 This camera is also capable of a high 3200 ISO for better lowlight photography.

Key Features

Face Detection auto focus and auto exposure is also a great feature for avoiding those blown out or under-exposed party pics. When this setting is selected, the camera detects faces in the scene and exposes and focuses for them. This camera also has a smile mode that detects when your subjects are smiling and will automatically take the picture only when they do. Sharp and well exposed pictures is achieved through the double anti-blur technology, which is a combination of high 3200 ISO (light sensitivity) and optical image stabilisation.

To achieve sharp pictures the camera can boost the ISO (light sensitivity) setting so that it can shoot at a higher shutter speed, or it can initiate the mechanical image stabilisation system which physically moves the inside of the camera to respond to camera shake allowing sharp pictures even under slow shutter speeds. In combination, these features allow the sharp capture of images at full resolution that other cameras without this technology simply cannot. In exposure the result is that your camera allows more of the natural light in the scene to expose through so less flash is needed – avoiding the pictures of faces against black backgrounds normally seen in cameras without this technology.

The H20 has 11 shooting modes, including smile shutter mode, and a video recording mode
