Review: All start point and shoot - grab one while you can!! - I"m sorry that I don't have more energy to write a better review, however if you are looking for a great point and shoot that won't break the budget please get the H70 while they are still around. If not, it's replacement the H90 would be a fine substitute. The DSC-H70 is actually a 2011 model that is still being sold (NEW) by desertcart and their partners that still have them in stock. While this was a $229 - $249 camera last year (the current price of the H90), I snagged it for just shy of $175. You can buy it from one of desertcart's partner stores so long as it is new in box. I was also able to add the Square Trade warranty to my camera with damage protection at a very reasonable price (about $40). The H70 does not have a very powerful zoom but when it is engaged the pictures are still very accurate. Leaving the flash in Auto mode (called Intelligent Auto) seems to allow for the capture of just the right amount of light . I have not tried this cam in a room that is completely dark yet. There are a lot of technology critics who will say the best point and shoot is on the iPhone 4s, but some of you are probably like me and do not want to have to pay $100 a month just to use a camera. Don't kid yourself this camera is not a DSLR or the higher end Canon S95. However, I am VERY satisfied with this model and would recommend the H70/H90 to anyone. Picture stability / auto focus is amazing.
Review: nice for the price - nice camera-lotsa useable features,but does take some getting used to.very good low light indoor shots,but some reds become exaggerated when compared with the object,not a dealbreaker considering the detail you get but worth mentioning.i take alot of close-up,detail oriented shots for internet sales use,and it's very handy for that.i like the auto lens cover.zoom works well.did alot of research for cameras under $300,and decided on this,and have not been disappointed.

*by B***N on August 28, 2011*

nice camera-lotsa useable features,but does take some getting used to.very good low light indoor shots,but some reds become exaggerated when compared with the object,not a dealbreaker considering the detail you get but worth mentioning.i take alot of close-up,detail oriented shots for internet sales use,and it's very handy for that.i like the auto lens cover.zoom works well.did alot of research for cameras under $300,and decided on this,and have not been disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best purchase ever
*by R***N on September 5, 2024*

top tier i love this camera. the photo and video quality is really good, however i do wish that you could use flash on videos. the audio quality is pretty good for what it is. it does really good on people, landscapes, really anything. it comes with a battery, a battery charger, the camera, a strap for the camera, and a manual or something idk. the only extra thing you NEED is an SD card, so if you’re planning on getting one of these also get an SD card. anyways best purchase ever
