REVIEWS / POINT AND SHOOT / SONY

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9

While its basic feature set expands your options to experiment as a photography enthusiast, the image quality makes sure that it keeps up with your imagination. Though I still find the navigation painful and think Sony should seriously do something about the noisy higher ISOs, I'd still say this is one of the best superzooms in the market today.
