Hi,

Do you plan to review the Sony DSC-H55 when it is released in April? IF so, when do you plan to review it?

Best Regards,
Dave Pierce

I just bought a new H55 from Sony and I am so happy with it - it's everything that i wanted in a small camera - plenty of optical zoom, beautiful 14.1 megapixels - very simplified and the instruction manual so helpful and cut down on the thickness......One of the best and the price was excellent too.....I'm a Sony for life person now.....don't want anything else.....wow what a wonderful camera.

Does anyone know what this camera is like in low light? I can't find a review of it anywhere...presumably because it has only just been released. Thanks!

I just took a photo of my shoes under my desk in the very low light and can read the writing on the shoelace! I have had this camera for two days and have taken photos of eagles off in the distance in a shaded nest at full zoom against a bright background and then was able to blow it up big enough on my computer to wow my mates. It is easy to adjust most features, but I still have problems in macro with camera focusing on background instead of subject. I would like a bit more control over focus. The manual is disappointingly brief. Recovery time seems long. But camera goes from start to shot as fast as I can imagine I would ever expect. I have been waiting for Panasonic to speed up their zs and was not happy with the addition of GPS. So I may have just found my camera. I have a few more weeks to get to know it.

Does anyone except the last two person has any reviews about Sony DSC H55 model it would be great if they have, and what about the site owner? Why didn't you have anything to say about this camera?

I love your reviews very much, and likely to go for it, till now I have got positve respnose but your (site owner) review is what I am waiting for.

I just bought one over the weekend to replace an older camera. This one is great. I used x10 zoom to take a picture of a playground in the park across the street from the front door of my house. It is at least 120 ft away, and the time was 8:05 pm; lighting was rather poor. The picture came out clear. Pictures taken under low light conditions are very, very good. The flash is very powerful, maybe a little bit too much even at ~30 ft away indoor (my living room). The HD movie quality is super; the sound recorded is weak, though. The panoroma feature is unique and the picture quality is also great! Also, the price is great! I am very happy with my purchase.

Great Low light picture. I bought this camera 2 days back. I was excited to experiment with the ISO, shutter speed, aperture, EV values and all. I looked up in the internet last night and fiddled with the configuration. At night, with near total darkness, just with my iphone light, I made my wife to take a picture of my face. Ofcourse there was some noise, but my face was visible clearly. The setting was ISO 800; EV 0; F3.5; Shutter speed 3". Its a promising start, I am going to experiment more.

This is my First Digital Camera in my life. Yesterday only i bought this it has great features Canon doesn't have, But shots came great in all possible ways opposite to light, dark night, low light, iAuto intelligent works great. HD video is good. Canon IXUS 130 and Sony Cy-Shot H55 at same cost. but noise is there at ISO 80 I am unable to figure it out.

I recently bought the Sony H-55 and love it. Great pictures, Zoom works well, and the extra features like smile, and blink detection work well. Lot's of pro's. The only downside is that it has shutter lag between shots and I noticed a slight muffling sound in audio when using the zoom in or out and shooting videos. (when the zoom is not being used then it sounds good)

I have now had the camera for a couple of weeks and although I am still somewhat thrilled by it, and since there are no review out there yet, here are a few more comments. The easy panoramic shooting is incredible and I have some wonderful photos of things I would not have tried to photograph even with a stitching program. It turns on fast, but when using the rapid shot, there is no image on camera to help me track subject! Not good without a viewfinder. The cute sound effects can caused mortification in a formal event (sounds like a cell phone). In bright artificial light, without a flash, photos were very blurry.
While most of my video shots were good, the sound was weak and at times, when shooting a smaller object against a solid bright background, camera could not focus fast enough to keep subject in vocus.

At one point after asking it to focus on fast moving objects, the camera would not focus on anything and I had to turn it off and back on before it would work again. (camera exhaustion?)

Though I may hold out for a faster Panasonic pocket with zoom. I must say that for a nature lover, I may be hooked on the easy panoramic feature (though I wish it could adjust the lighting as it moved).

Has anyone experienced lens drive failures early in life? Our camera has failed within 45 days!! Symptom lens makes a grinding noise.
We are not receiving a positive response from Sony Support Services!!

Further to posting 15. Sony have refused to repair the camera under warranty. Pointing out that Sony Warranty in Europe states quite clearly that Sony reserve the right not to repair any camera under warranty that they believe has been damaged.
Anyone who has bought or intends to buy the DSC H55 Camera should be extremely careful not to knock or restrain in anyway the lens. I will await any feed back from those with simlar experience.
One very unhappy customer

I'm considering the Sony H55 vs. the HX5. I don't care about GPS for the extra ~$100.

Can anyone tell me whether the H55 has these HX5 features:

- Full zoom with video recording
- Stereo with video recording
- AVCHD video recording format
- HDMI output connector
- Backlight Correction HDR for shadow fill
- Hand-held Twilight and Anti-motion Blur modes
- 10 FPS burst mode

if u r on a low budget,go for this camera..i havent figured manual settings yet,i take all pics in auto mode,and they are gr8…
ya low light is a issue in auto mode,bt using manual mode,the problem can be removed i guess..

and SX210 and Hx5v are way to better cameras from this,but their budget is high..
if u have budget upto 20k,den go for sx210 IS…
der’s 1 more camera,nikon L110,bt it lacks manual settings..

u can check my pics clicked from Sony H55..

I just need a camera with "Good Picture Quality in Low & High Light Environment for Indoor & Outdoor Shooting", "Good Zooming Facility", "Good Picture/Image Stabilization", "HD Movie Recording", "Good Battery Backup" etc. and within 15,000/- for my personal use.

So, plz suggest me which one is perfect for me and why between "Sony H55" & "Nikon L110".

It will be my first Digital Camera. And I don't have any knowledge and experience about Photo Shooting via Digital Camera.

So, plz help me Frnds to buy my 1st DigiCam...
