Sony DSC-H7

Pros: Monster 15x zoom, image stabilization, wide angle, new battery system improves performance

Cons: Price, size, Sony camera-only Memory Stick Duo

The Bottom Line: I recommend Sony DSC-H7 if you want an 8.1MP camera with good optics, wide angle, 15x optical stabilized zoom. It certainly can produce beautiful...

Review: The mega-zoom cameras by Sony (H1, H2, H5) suffered from slow operation because of the use of two AA batteries. The new H-series cameras are supposed to change that with the use of proprietary Li-Ion batteries. The update on the ...

Pros: 15X zoom

Cons: Cannot delete pictures as quick as I'd like.

The Bottom Line: This is a great camera for parents. It snaps so quickly.

Review: I've had this camera for over a week. I've only found one thing that I don't like about it! I love the 15X zoom. It takes really great pictures. You can view them right there on the camera in a slide show and choose what music you want in the background! ...

Pros: Picture quality, manual better than most in class, lots of zoom, great -without flash- quality.

Cons: Should be easier to delete pictures, processing speed with loaded memory stick.

The Bottom Line: Great camera, maybe best in class.

Review: I've used it for outdoor nature photography, and for regular parent/family type stuff, and for the outdoor stuff I'd give it an A, not an A just because of bulkiness, but the main point is the picture quality is superior, and the screen has less glare ...

Pros: Great all around digital camera with loads of features at an affordable price.

Cons: Proprietary battery (why not AAs) & Awkward grip.

The Bottom Line: Terrific choice for a family with budding athletes and the need for a good all-around camera with lots of features and flexibility.

Review: First the stats and then my comments on the H7: DSC-H7 Sensor • 1/2.5 " Type CCD • 8.1 million effective pixels Image sizes • 3264 x 2448 • 2592 x 1944 • 2048 x 1536 • 640 x 480 • 3264 x 2176 (3:2) • 1920 x ...

Pros: The battery lasts a long time. It turns on very quickly and takes fast pictures.

Cons: It requires a special battery, so your out of luck if it runs dead.

Review: Overall I really enjoy the camera. It does have manual settings which is great, but there are also point and shoot settings. You are able to add an additional lens, which I love. Taking pics in bright sunlight is sometimes difficult, causing you to have ...

Pros: It's pictures turn out amazing.

Cons: It isn't the most attractive.

The Bottom Line: Although it may be the odd man out, it's fun adn easy to use with great results!

Review: The ultra-zoom segment of the digital camera market is expanding as consumers seek more than the standard compact 3x lens and lust for the double digit optics. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 will satiate zoom cravers with its 8.1 megapixels and 15x optical ...

Pros: The Sony H7 powers up and takes multiple pictures VERY FAST!

Cons: The worst thing is the "purple Fringing" when I zoom in on the photo.

The Bottom Line: The Sony H7, although not as many features as the Canon S5 IS, takes better pictures in low light without the flash and has less black/white noise.

Review: The Sony H7 powers up and takes multiple pictures VERY FAST! Has good photo quality for what it is (not SLR). Works well in low light w/o flash compared to most other cameras in it's class. The Macro setting is the best, like SLR, 1cm. Face ...

Pros: Good color, good flash, fairly quick shutter

Cons: can't take consecutive pictures in a row. Can't take a picture while recording.

Review: Have taken some great pictures of my son's high school wrestling matches. Some have motion but I have captured some really awesome ones too. ...
