Cyber-shot DSC-H10 budget megazoom camera, Sony didn’t change much from its predecessor, the Cyber-shot DSC-H3. Only its 230,000-pixel 3-inch LCD is new, compared with the 115,000-pixel, 2.5-inch version on the H3. Given the lack of an electronic viewfinder, that’s a nontrivial enhancement, but pretty much the only one.
At 10.3 ounces with battery and Memory Stick Duo Pro card, the H10 is one of the lighter megazooms, and as compact as any of them. Still, I found it relatively comfortable to hold and use.

The H10 delivers above average, but not outstanding, performance, and comes in just a tad slower than the H3 in most respects. It wakes and shoots in a reasonable 1.7 seconds. Its shutter lag for high- and low-contrast scenes–0.5 second and 1.1 seconds, respectively–are typical for this class, as are its 1.7-second typical shot-to-shot time

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 (silver) Reviews From alatest

Pros:
Capable of excellent photos outdoors in good light; compact and comfortable.

Cons:
No semimanual exposure modes; lens distortion; no zooming during movie capture; poor high-ISO noise profile; so-so auto white balance indoors.

The good:

The bad:
No semimanual exposure modes; lens distortion; no zooming during movie capture; poor high-ISO noise profile; so-so auto white balance indoors.

The bottom line:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is a decent budget megazoom that can deliver very nice outdoor shots, but its photo quality falls short in other respects
