Conventional wisdom suggests that the smaller the camera, the lower its image quality. Whilst that’s still mainly true, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5 does pack a hefty punch for such a slimline snapper. You’ll be very hard-pressed to tell its photos apart from the bigger, pricier DSC-WX350 thanks to the well-resolved detail, punchy color reproduction and unobtrusive noise levels. If your priorities for a compact camera are for it to indeed be compact, but not to sacrifice performance, then the DSC-H5 is a fine choice.The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5 is a fine blend of performance and style and makes an excellent buy.
