Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9

I'm happy to say the H9 redeems all the lost honor of the H7. The colors in our test shots were pretty much spot-on with a slight amount of required saturation. But even that saturation worked very well, especially in bringing out the right skin tones and the overall colors.

Sharpness levels, when seen in full-sized images, looked a bit off, but not blotchy in any way. Prints taken of images shot by the H9 turned out great.

Using the IR mode in a pitch-dark environment would give you quite a bit of digital noise, but that's acceptable considering its cool factor.

Shooting in Twilight mode for night landscapes worked pretty well, as the H9 was able to capture all the available light pretty well using a low shutter speed, instead of just shooting up the ISO levels. That said, anything shot at ISO 400 and above would result in images with high digital noise.

With the price on the street falling to Rs 23,800 (with camera bag and 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo), the Sony Cyber-shot H9 is an excellent companion in all your journeys.
