Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7

14 Nov, 2007, 3:37 pm IST | Gagan Gupta | Point and Shoot

The Cyber-shot DSC-H7 is available in the US for around $350 (Rs 14,000 approx), which would have made it a decent buy. But since it's retailing here for Rs 22,500, the expectations are a lot higher. Sadly, the H7 doesn't fare too well in overall performance when compared with other cameras in its category.

Excellent features such as 15x optical zoom and the remote control don't do much to make up for its other flaws. So if you're considering a superzoom, there are other cameras available that offer comparable features at VFM prices. The DSC-H7 is therefore hard to recommend.
