Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H9 Digital Camera

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 straddles the line between compact consumer camera and full powered professional SLR and it does so beautifully. The 8.1 megapixel Super HAD CCD captures pictures that still look sharp, even when sized up to 16 x 22 inches. Carl Zeiss optics provide 15 x optical zoom, and with a high sensitivity mode (ISO 3200) the Cyber-shot DSC-H9 performs amazingly well, even in low-light situations. NightShot infrared mode allows you to shoot in dark conditions and a long-distance flash provides excellent illumination for distant subjects.

A significant update on the 7.2-Megapixel Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H5, the 8.1-Megapixel Sony CyberShot DSC-H9 improves in several aspects, including resolution, zoom and wide angle capabilities.

Cons None really, other than Sony proprietary batteries and filters are quite expensive.
Recommended it? Yes

It was like something out of a silent-era Buster Keaton film. I was at my daughter's dance recital and I brought along my six year old Olympus 3.3 megapixel camera.
