I recently bought a Sony DSC-H5 through e-bay (to upgrade My Sony H1 - which is an excellent camera itself!). I read many reviews about the H5. All give it a good write up but with some critisisms on picture quality, purple finging and the position of the "Menu" button - it is easy to catch it with your thumb. These points are all relevant - but they don't detract from what is a very good camera, capable of giving clear, crisp and vitually noise free photos. I did a lot of exhaustive photo comparison tests between the H1 and H5, and in my opinion the cameras are very close regarding picture quality, with the H5 giving very slighty (and just about noticable) better quality photos, with slightly lower "noise" when cropped. The H5 has a very useful Aperture compensation option when in Auto mode which lets you adjust to give lighter or darker photos - so you don't get as many "blown" highlights on bright days. Also, if you've changed a setting with the menu, you just half press the shutter button on the H5 and it comes out of the Menu and your ready to shoot. (On the H1 you have to physically press the menu button to leave it). On some occasions it is easy to accidently hit the menu button on the H5. Both cameras are easy to hold and balance, and both use two "AA" batteries (so do buy the largest power (2,500ma, as both cameras are quite power hungry - though a fresh set of batteries will give you a days shooting (without using the LCD). All in all, I have found both the Sony H1 and H5 to be very good cameras, and if you are thinking of upgrading from the H1 to H5, you won't be dissapointed.Read full review
