Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9S

This is a very good digital camera for amateur photographers who are fed up with easy turn-on-click cameras and want to expand their knowledge and abilities, experiment and maybe become a pro one day. It offers a wide enough range of options to set and explore, but you won't make sense of it unless you are or make yourself familiar with some physics, optics and technical stuff, so that you can make the most of using H9's settings.

Shoot At The Speed of Life Even if you’re not at full speed during the soccer match on Saturday morning, the H9 and H7 models will be. These new cameras can shoot up to 1/4000 of a second, a critical speed for capturing fast-moving sports and freezing the action. Both cameras are powered by the Bionz processing engine, first used in Sony’s Alpha digital SLR camera system. This new circuitry speeds up response times and delivers the fast image processing ...
...photo viewing. Capturing fast action does not have to result in blurry photos. The H9 and H7 cameras incorporate Super Steady Shot® optical image stabilization to minimize blur caused by camera shake, an important feature when shooting at slow shutter speeds at full zoom. Their high sensitivity, up to ISO3200, also helps to fight blur resulting from fast-moving subjects. The H9 camera takes fast-action shooting a step further. It sports a 3-inch, ...
