List All 2 PricesThe Sony Cybershot DSC-H9 is a feature-rich ultra-zoom camera with good overall performance. Compared to its predecessor, the Sony Cybershot DSC-H5 , Sony augmented several major specifications: a wider 15X optical zoom (instead of 12X), a maximum ISO of 3200 (instead of 1000) and a 2.2 FPS continuous drive (instead of 1.1 FPS). However, Sony unfortunately cut-down on the quality of the viewfinder and the use of AA batteries. Read more
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 certainly has a great deal going for it, but equally a number of aspects which really let it down. On the upside the 15x lens offers a great range bettered only by the Olympus SP-550UZ and the stabilisation really works. The H9 is additionally one of the quickest focusers in its class, so at last we have a non-DSLR which can genuinely take a stab at action or wildlife shots. Read more
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 for attempts to provide attention-seeking headlines for press releases. In reality though, they are effective and genuinely useful. Read more
There's 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 the availability of accessory lenses expand the camera's already broad focal range options. Read more

The DSC-H9 is mighty fast, blasting more than 18 JPEGs in 10 seconds, with no shutter delay for single shots – great for sports and outdoor snaps. But this speedy camera also blurs life’s details: Object edges glow and colors bleed on nearly every photo, distracting from otherwise accurate hues. And put it away if the clouds start to gather: Low-light areas get grainy, and noise creeps in like ants ruining a picnic. Read more
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 digital camera is Sony’s flagship model in the "super-zoom" arena and does so with quite a list of features. Included are the 15x optical zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, a new night shot (IR) mode, a 3-inch LCD, and the now ubiquitous face recognition feature, with image stabilization and 8 megapixels to boot. Read more
The H should stand for Hooray. The Cyber-shot DSC-H9 ($459, street), the new flagship in Sony's line of superzoom electronic-viewfinder cameras, has a 15X optical zoom, 8-megapixel capture, image stabilization, and a slew of fun and useful features. It's almost as good as a DSLR, with the added benefit of a 31-465mm equivalent f/2.7-4.5 Carl Zeiss zoom. Read more

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. Read more

Bought this camera May 07, now it's December 07 and never failed me, the pictures are very good sinc Read more
The best I have ever used.me and my dad covered a engagement recently.dads was with a canon.sure my pics looked better with ultra zooming.i recommend sure. Read more
ABSOLUTELY GRATIFYING! PRICE & PERFORMANCE! SEPTEMBER 2011... BEST BUY! BRAND NAME, MANUAL, PREVIOUS SATISFACTION WITH PREVIOUS MODELS OF SAME GROUP TYPE... EVERYTHING. Read more
In general is a superb, easy to use camera for most people that are casual users and don't want to spend a lot of money in a professional setup. The zoom is wonderful and the color resolution even greater. I am sure that there are still a lot more features and tricks to learn with the camera, but the little I know is already great. Excellent buy for the money! Read more
I am a railfan and love the burst mode for taking pictures of moving trains. I also like the body style and fit. Easy to hang onto with one hand. It is hard to reach into the lens shield to get the lens cap into place. Too tight of a space for larger hands. Read more
The body style of this camera is very impressive. When most people see it they say, "Wow, that looks like a nice camera." And for the most part they are right. It is a nice camera for someone who is wanting to take high quality pictures outdoors, from a distance. The 15x optical zoom is incredible working in conjunction with the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Where this camera failed me was in low light areas. The results were ALWAYS less than desirable in low light. Read more
If you want good quality in a camera with all of the features and then some, but don't have the funds to buy a SLR I'd say buy this camera. Read more

Also known as the upgraded version of its previous model, the Sony DSH-H7, the new Sony DSH-H9 has included all the updated features of its previous model. A certain reviewer quoted that the Sony Cybershot DSC-H9 boasts some of the most advanced specifications of any current digital camera. Referred to as a top snapper, the attractive features of the Sony DSH-H9 are loads of manual and automatic features available to be used, a large 3 inch flip-up LCD that features a double resolution of its previous model the H7’s 2.5-inch display, wide familiar angle for a megazoom and the famous fast continuous shooting. Unchanged are the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 15x image stabilized optical zoom lens and the 8 megapixel image sensor. Its night mode is considered to be another big addition as it allows photographs that simulate night goggles. A maximum ISO of 3200 and full manual control are also available features found in the camera. A certain user describes the Sony DSH-H9 as one of the quickest focusers in its class, so at last we have a non-DSLR which can genuinely take a stab at action or wildlife shots. Despite all these good reviews on the Sony DSH-H9, its users still find faults with it. Some users dislike its small EVF, its lens aberrations and its annoying image noise. It is also known to desperately lack a hotshoe and a raw file support. Some would describe its image quality far from perfect while some would say common users would find it usable. New photographers or amateurs find this camera interesting as according to them it is easy to use. Its manual is simple to understand and the technology is not that advanced so even normal people would understand how to use it.
