Review: 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. Just as I dropped the lens cap, some kid stepped on it - CRACK! As I was picking it ...

Pros: Infrared nightshot, face recognition,15x optical to 78x with digital zoom, 3200 iso, optical image stabilization

Review: My wife and I got the DSC-H9 last week, finally retiring our 3.0M Cybershot. We printed off 30 or so pics yesterday, and we were very disappointed. We are not professional photographers, but we do take lots of pics, and we were expecting very clear ...
