Sony Cyber-shot DSC - H7 -

I am hugely disappointed in this camera. It has a great "paper" specification but in practice it just doesn't deliver. There are 2 main problems:-
1) Image quality - fine if you just want 6x4 prints but once you enlarge photos the quality disappears with purple fringing everywhere (a purple edge where dark areas meet lighter ares). The 8 megapixels just don't deliver - my former 2 megapixel camera takes just as good if not better photos.
2) The top control dial is very easily accidentally moved so you have to check every time you shoot. Very frustrating - could easily have been fixed with a security button to press before you can move the dial.

In addition, if you use macro you have to make sure you switch it off for the next photo. Again annoying.

Also you can't get a 74mm filter for love or money.

On the plus side the zoom is excellent and build quality and general feel is good. However it just isn't enough. Wish I had bought a Fuji or Canon around the same price. Sony could do so much better than this!
