Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: 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.
Pros: ; The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 has a relatively wide angle for a megazoom; tons of manual and automatic features; fast continuous shooting.
Cons: ; Small EVF; lens aberrations and vignetting; image noise and some processing artifacts; lacks hotshoe and raw file support.

Sony DSC-H7

(1/7/08)
Summary: Read the full review
Pros: ; DR-optimization works, though the effect is pretty subtle; Improved continuous mode; In-camera effects; Very bright AF illuminator; Can zoom during movie mode (though this does cause focus hunting); Bright, punchy results that produce pleasing prints without the need for post-processing; Versatile, genuinely useful 31-465mm equivalent
Cons: ; Small viewfinder - and no eyecup so glare a problem in bright light; No JPEG quality options (and default setting too highly compressed); Too many options (predictive focus, face detection, ISO) not available in all modes; 74mm filter size restricts you to Sony's own limited range of filters; Rear control wheel huge step backwards from

Sony DSC H7 Review


Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: This camera has a lot of good points. If I was looking for a super zoom camera this one would certainly make my short list. It was able to produce very fast shutter response times and includes a number of more advanced features.
