It is the ideal choice for people looking for high zoom, high-resolution and speed. This new model utilizes a powerful Carl Zeiss(R) 15x optical zoom lens with Super SteadyShot(R) optical image stabilization to capture action at a distance. One of the main lens elements is manufactured from super low-dispersion glass, which helps it produce more exact point-to-point correspondence between an object and its image. The lens yields sharp, high- contrast images and reduces color fringing, even when shooting in telephoto ranges. The camera also features a large, 3-inch tilting LCD screen so you can shoot comfortably from nearly any position, at low and high angles. Its scratch-resistant, UV hard-coat finish adds a premium look and feel that mirrors the performance of the model."</em></p><p><img alt="" border="0" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/dht/auto/1204043958.usr14.jpg" /></p><p>15x zoom, 9.1MP, Carl Zeiss lens, long-distance flash, 3-inch tilting LCD and all for around $400. The DSC-H50 also has an "advanced sports" shooting mode which allows it to utilize ultra-high shutter speeds (like 1/4000 of a second). Looks very cool, and seems like a great option for people looking for a camera that's more than a point and shoot, but less than a full on DSLR.</p>
