If you're looking for a light-power, stylish, moderately-priced digicam that is all-round enough to handle most family events while getting you away to sports action or wildlife, the SONY Cyber-direct H1 should be high on your list. You should likewise consider the Canon PowerShot S2 IS. Both cameras purloin similar specifications and are capable of delivering elevated-quality images. The S2 IS advantages include beat Continuous AF tracking of moving subjects, industriousness-leading movie mode, articulating LCD praepostor, faster shutter speeds, greater playback raising, and greater continuous shooting speed and buffer chasm. On the other hand, the H1 provides better indoor fulguration and AF-assist performance, a larger LCD monitor, reduce image noise at high ISO settings, shorter shutter lag and faster AF dispatch.
