      by crismyboy, May. 8, 2008
    • Pros: Awesome picture quality, simplier manuverability.
    • Cons: Although still worth the money, price is in the top tier for the average person.
    • Comments:
      Wife is more of the techie in the house, but loves the picture quality. I enjoy the fact you don't need another college degree to work it. ...

    • Cons: Small EVF; lens aberrations and vignetting; image noise and some processing artefacts; lacks hotshoe and raw file support
    • Comments:
      Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-H9 -- and its almost identical sibling, the DSC-H7 -- offers a whopping 15x optical zoom, along with an excellent flip-up LCD screen. It's perfect for shooting outdoors in daytime -- especially sport, children and animals...

      If you shoot primarily outdoors in daytime--especially sports, children and animals--the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 is a great choice. The cheaper DSC-H7 has a smaller LCD, lacks infrared shooting, and has a few interface differences, but is otherwise identic...

      Today is the day that Sony has chosen to unveil its PMA compact digital camera annoucements, perhaps the worst-kept secret of the year so far. For anyone who hasn't seen the leaked information there are additions and updates to the T, W and H series. We'l...

    • Sony DSC-H9
      by Online Shopper
    • Pros: - Optical stabilization, - 15x optical zoom, - Quality of images in lower sensitivities, - 1 cm macro mode, - Night Shot mode
    • Cons: - Rather visible purple fringes, - Severe processing of noise, - White balance could be improved, - Distortion in the wide angle

      While the H9 isn't a bad camera, we can easily prefer more versatile models equipped with larger zooms (Panasonic FZ18, Fujifilm S8100, and Olympus SP-570 UZ) and more refined image processing in terms of noise. ...
