Digital camera reviews of Sony Cybershot DSC-H9 8MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Image Stabilization Zoom

Digital camera Review: Best Camera in 30 Years
Summary: 4 Stars

I've read the other reviews and I agree that it takes some work and experience to understand the settings. Someone needs to produce a "Missing Manual" for this camera. Sony is no help with either information on product use or product knowledge. Their customer servivce was clearly trained on a Kodak box camera. But what is most important? Having someone else do your homework or getting great pictures?

I have used manual SLR's; point and shoot digitial and film type; Kodak, Cannon, Minolta, Nikon, and Sony. This ca,era takes the best pictures I have ever taken. My skills have not improved with age, if anything the reverse is true. But shaky hands, poor eyesight, impatience all seem to be taken into consideration with this camera. Having worked as a photographer before the advent of the digital camera, I can tell you this is the best thing that ever happened to photography. And let's face it. Aren't most of you going to download your pictures and use photo software to improve them? You'll get much farther with this wonderful camera.

For the price this is a wonderful value. Buy it, shoot it, and enjoy yourself!

Digital camera Review: Sony Camera
Summary: 5 Stars

Light, lots of shooting options, great optical zoom; have not yet printed pics to see how it translates but great camera so far.

Digital camera Review: Sony DSC-H9 camera
Summary: 4 Stars

It is taking me a bit longer than expected to become familiar with which modes control which functions; I have to switch back and forth fairly frequently to double-check and try various maneuvers. I expect that use and practice will make this easier, but early on, it is time-consuming and involves referring back to the booklet (or reading the more detailed information on the CD-ROM) to accomplish what I want with various lighting conditions, backgrounds, distances, etc. Also it is disappointing that I cannot put a filter on the camera without first attaching a rather large lens adaptor. Therefore I'm using the camera without this useful protection for the camera lens.

Digital camera Review: This Camera (SONY DSC-H9) is very good!

Digital camera Review: Learn how to use it!
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a very good camera. The Zeiss Vario Tessar lens works fine, like the old, famous Tessar. The sharpness of the image is good in full range of zoom. However, there is a notable "barrel distortion" and I do not know how to correct it with the Photo Shop. The image stabilization works very well. High DIN sensitivity results in significant noise and blurring. The best results are with setting the DIN to 80 or 100, and selecting the P (Program Shift) shooting mode. The other inconvenience is that each time you begin to take pictures, you should carefully check if your last settings have not changed accidently - it is very easy (too easy!) to press or turn something while the camera is removed from the case. There is no "default" selection and the camera remembers all recent settings. I've found the included short "Instruction Manual" useless, but one can print out the detailed "Cyber-shot Handbook" and find answers to almost all questions. After I learned how to use the camera, I love it!
