 Great camera!! January 2, 2009
I bought this camera a little less than a year ago and I have no complaints... it has a lot of settings and is easy to use. Takes great pictures!!! It is not a slim camera but I would also say it is not bulky...definitely need a memory card and the camera case to protect it.
 Great video, so so pics December 5, 2008
The H3 takes so so pics but really excels with video, even in low light. Great sound quality too. Have a looksey.

Among the best November 12, 2008
I bought this little gem off ebay about a month ago, and it came with nothing but the camera (and fortunately the battery). So I had to get the funky memory stick or whatever they call it, but it does go directly into the computer slot, so no problem there, that's how I always do it. (Does anyone fool around with USB cords?-what a nuisance)
Great pictures in a small size, to me this is a camera that will fit in a jacket pocket.
I've no problem with indoor shots-normally turn the flash off anyway because the first few I took it popped up on me unexpectedly. But it is a little bright, since I don't have the manual I didn't know til I read some other reviews that it can be adjusted. And I could always go to the website to look for it (right-like I'd do that)
As the last paragraph alludes to, I'm a point & shoot guy, DSLRs kind of scare me so I'll use auto 95% of the time. That little mtn switch works well though for fall colors scenery.
Guess I'll just fool around with it some more and enjoy the results!
P.S. Get over that lens cap thing- the automatic ones do just jam after a while. Wish I had a cap for mine-have to put it back in the case all the time (of course, had to get that ala carte too) BTW a canon IS 2S case is perfect for this, and the canon is too big for it. Wrist straps are a dime a dozen-just use one off an old radio or something
I love it! October 16, 2008
I got this camera for Christmas 2007. Since, I've taken tons of awesome pictures.. for some examples, visit http://luminousechoes.deviantart.com . My photography has all been done with this camera.
 Big Dissapointment September 16, 2008

I had the same problem as Madison's Mommy, I was so excited to try this camera out for my nephews birthday. Now I am left with a bunch of blurry pictures from his birthday party. If the kids made the slightest move, images came out very blurry. If not the subjects just look discolored, lots of yellow tint in their skin and around them. Also, I noticed that my daughters blonde hair looks very orange. People have even commented that she looks like a redhead in the pictures. I spoke to sony support and all they did was have me initialize the camera which did nothing. Very upsetting, this camera "sounds" so much better than it is. I also thought it must be a defect but apparently not. I did get a few nice outdoor shots, as long as people weren't in them.
