Abstract: This mode combines high shutter speed shooting and intelligent continuous auto-focusing. The cameras can quickly focus on fast-moving subjects by predicting where those subjects will be in the frame. This predictive technology also helps to reduce shut...
Abstract: The idea of having the shooting control of a DSLR, combined with a 15x optical zoom and 3in tilting LCD in a smaller and lighter body is an appealing one .......... FEATURES The H9 contains a lot of features that could easily be mistaken
15X zoom lens, lightweight camera body, large LCD can swivel and tilt, Nightshot mode is fun, good outdoor photo results
Overall image quality should be better, response times should be better, LCD can be tough to see in bright sunlight, menu system is a mess and difficult to use
The first feature of Sonys DSC-H9 advanced digital camera that will grab your attention is its 15X optical zoom lens. Very few digital cameras can match the zoom lens found on the DSC-H9, which automatically makes it a model worth considering. Unfort...

Theres certainly a lot to like about the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9. It has a big 3-inch swiveling LCD and its image stabilized 15x optical zoom lens provides enough range to capture wide angle as well as telephoto shots. Top-notch macro capabilities and ...

Relatively wide angle for a megazoom; tons of manual and automatic features; large, flip-up LCD; fast continuous shooting.
Small EVF; lens aberrations and vignetting; image noise and some processing artifacts; lacks hotshoe and raw file support.
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 iden...
Good resolution, great color, excellent exposure, accurate focus, Bright, punchy results that produce pleasing prints without the need for post-processing, Very little highlight clipping, DR-optimization works, though the effect is pretty subtle, Generall...
New user interface slow, convoluted and often confusing, Rear control wheel huge step backwards from the H5s turn and click dial on the grip, Images quite soft and not that clean, Excessive noise reduction robs images of fine texture at anything over ISO...
I have to say that the H9 was a camera I really expected to like, and I started this review expecting to be able to rave about how a great camera had got even better. In reality my experiences with the new flagship Cyber-shot zoom were decidedly mixed...
