Key Advantages

The Sony DSC-H20/B offers a high-resolution 10.1 MP sensor delivering sharp image quality. Its 10x optical zoom lens covers a broad focal range suitable for both wide-angle and telephoto shots. Image stabilization technology helps minimize blur for clearer photos. The 2.7-inch LCD screen facilitates easy framing and menu access. Extensive automatic and scene modes simplify operation for beginners. The camera supports expandable storage via memory cards and USB connectivity for easy data transfer.

Limitations

The DSC-H20/B lacks HD video recording capability, limiting video quality to standard definition. The CCD sensor performs less effectively in low-light compared to newer CMOS sensors. Its bulkier form factor compared to modern compact cameras reduces portability. The fixed lens design means no option for lens interchangeability. The camera's LCD resolution is lower compared to more recent models, impacting preview clarity. Battery life may be limited under heavy use due to older power technology.
