Good but not as great as most say.
(Tibi - 12/27/06)Great family and holiday photos but if you have stock photography ambitions get a Canon or Nikon D-SLR. Many good features but the processor or the lenses (or a combination of both) are producing artifacts and purple fringing of an unacceptable level when images are viewed at full size. Zoom is good but always use a tripod. Wide angle lens is a great addition. Macro not so great. I recommend using the manual setting whenever possible. Sony is doing a great job in audio and LCD TV technology but in digital photography they have a long way to go.
In conclusion I recommend the Sony CyberShot H5 for every day photography, but be aware of its limitations.
Cheers, Tibi
