Sony DSC-H9 Cybershot Review

The Sony Cybershot DSC-H9 is a camera to stretch your photographic experience with its Carl-Zeiss Vario-Tessar 15x optical zoom lens, NightShot mode and manual controls. NightShot mode means that shooting can take place in complete darkness because it uses infra-red technology.

With 8 megapixels HAD CCD, 30x digital zoom, 25.5x HD smart zoom and up to 76x smart zoom together with the manual controls and advanced sports mode, the Sony DSC-H9 offers the opportunity to take a high variety of shots.
