The 8.1 megapixel H3 is a new very compact advanced digital camera and with dimensions of just 106×68.5×47.5mm it’s very handbag and travel friendly and has a 10 times optical zoom. A good all-round camera for those wanting the latest features, powerful optics, and more manual control in a compact design. The optical zoom is a 35mm equivalent to 38-380mm – good for small groups, portraits and court-based sports. Key features include face detection, smile detection mode, double anti-blur (image stabilisation and high 3200 ISO) and 2 cm macro mode. It’s also capable of shooting burst of 100 photos in 0.5 second intervals.
