HELP PLEASE!!! I have been having this camera for months now and I still do not know how to adjust the exposure. On the specs, it says on Manual mode you can get to up to 30 seconds. How did you set it to a 10 second exposure on the bicycle photo above?

this is a good review; i just bough one and took it on my vacation ; the ease of snapping pics in normal or say enough light is very easy and hassel free; except the low light moe where a bit of a manual controlling is not giving any bad results at all; must say best for the cost paid; i have been swapping 3 memory cards in the camera and it never deleted a pic; zooming i n vids is giving a moderate but tolerable sound; yes the camera is slow; after u change to original card; the zoom aswell becomes notchy sometimes; however the zoom range and the generous battery stamina covers it all for amateur photography; must say 80% of my pics were clean, clear and sharp;

i took around 2100 pics in 3; 4gb class 4 cards; much better than my prev nikon s220 which was a pain in my a$$;

edting of pics is very well possible in the camera; however dont do that if u are not planning to reach home early as it will consume battery life,

boosting the ISO till 400 and adjusting aperature above 4 to not activate NR gives good pics ; i snapped the whole alcazar concert in pattayya and the results were not at all disappointing

I enjoy my Sony-H55, I wanted to point out that I did put in a SD card with old shots on it and my pictures were still there. Also crank down the ISO to 400 in low light the pictures do better.

I saw the comments on H55 and most of the guys mentioned it is a bit slow and it takes 5 seconds between shots. Is there is any implications in this. How and where it will affect.I have already planned to buy after comparing with other cameras and also the features available for the price offered. This is the only negative point i am worried about. anyboby can help me out in this issue.Thanks

Just purchased the camera.. as my Sony DSC-W150 was acting up… BE CAREFUL! Do not place a partial used memory card into the H55 as it will automatically format and you will lose your photos from previous camera… Needless to say I almost don’t like my new H55 after it “ate” my photos instantly! BEWARE… I prefer the Carl Zeiss lense.

Hi, I am not an avid Sony lover. But doing good research and going through the reviews, sample photos,compared with competitors and last but not the least for the price you are getting a fantastic digital camera. Ultimately what you want is a good clear picture, panoramic sweep shot, wide angle lens, good zoom lens and above all excellent battery life.I’ll ask my son to get this camera from US by next month.

I read your review regarding the sony dsc h55. It was very useful for me to take decision on buying a next digital camera after my nikon 2100.I had my previos camera for the past 5 years.Actually, i was looking for a digicam which has 8x or above zoom,IS,Manual control,Easy button layout & menu,good ergonomics.I was surfing through web regarding the reviews for h55 and found ur review.Your review is in very much consumer point of view rather than professional POV which i don’t like it. Iam going to buy this camera by this Diwali.Thank you.

Hi Everyone,
I recently bought the Sony H55, and am not being able to get good nighttime and low light picture. Can someone guide me with the setting that could get me decent pics.
