Digital Camera Fiend - A Camera Review

A few months ago Sony released the Cyber-shot H7 and H9 — two “big zoom” company digital cameras that updated their popular  H2 and H5 Cybershot models from a year earlier.

DP Review just came out with a review on the H7, and their conclusion: spring for the extra $75 and get the H9.

“The H7 is what it is - a budget model that, unfortunately, performs like one,” according to DP Review. “It’s hard to see why anyone wouldn’t pay the extra for the H9 unless they were on a seriously tight budget.”

Neither camera is groundbreakingly cool, but the H9 has a bigger, brighter LCD screen, and night shot modes, which the H7 lacks.

You can find the H7 online for as cheap as $350, but why not invest a little more and get a camera that’s more enjoyable to use?
