Digital Camera Reviews

Sony is introducing its 8-megapixel DSC- H7 and DSC-H9 models. Designed to appeal to families with budding athletes in their broods, the cameras debut Sony’s new Advanced Sports shooting mode.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 shutter lag, the time it takes for the camera to focus and shoot.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 Reviews From tech2

I must congratulate Sony for delivering such a good product. If we compare H7 with H9 of the 2 H9 is a much better option. It might be a bit heavy on ur pockets but all the shortcomings of H7 are rectified in H9. I have a H9 camera and loved the features of it while I was on my holidays in India. The award winning feature of the camera is the continuous shoot mode which gives a great picture due to its ISO option. Instead of the image being blurred and sluggish it is clear but dark(if taken in night).
Sony has been successful in packing most of the features that a professional camera would have.
I love this camera and would recommend it to any photography buff who loves to take photographs.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 Reviews From cnet

The good:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 has a relatively wide angle for a megazoom; tons of manual and automatic features; fast continuous shooting.

The bad:
Small EVF; lens aberrations and vignetting; image noise and some processing artifacts; lacks hotshoe and raw file support.

The bottom line:
If you shoot primarily outdoors in daytime–especially sports, children, and animals–the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 is a good choice. The more expensive DSC-H9 has a larger, flip-out LCD, infrared shooting, and has a few interface differences, but is otherwise identical.
