The sony DSC-H9

Wow! thats all I could say about this awesome product! This is not a SLR camera, and is problably one of the best camera i have ever used. It has 8.1 mp super had ccd. The zoom is one of the best zooms i have ever experienced. It has a "High-Powered" Carl-Zeiss 15 times Opitical Zoom. It has a stellar face detection, it makes the skin tone look more natural. It also controls, focus, color, exposure, and flash. Next, it has one of the absolute very best flash, because it is long range. This Camera is not a SLR, but it has a lot of accesories, like a Tele-scopic lens and a wide lens. It has a average 31 MB internal memory. The battery is pretty good, the site says it can 250 photos on a full charge, but when i tested it out it was well over that at 327 photos with no flash. The battery they use is a NP-BG1. Sony gave this camera an extra special LCD, it is 3 inches, and it is flip up! In addition to the LCD viewfinder, it has a regular viewfinder thats .2 inches and it is very good. It has has four color modes including:

1. Black and White- Which is better then most cameras black and whites

2. Natural- Pretty good

3. Sepia- Much, much better then all cameras

4. Vivid- Average

My favorite thing about theis camera is the scene modes- I know i is a wierd thing to like, but I just absolutely love to use them.

the scene modes are, Beach, High Sensitivity, Landscape, Soft Snap, Twilight Portriat, Snow, and my favorite- Twilight. Another one of my favorite things about this one of a kind camera is the In-Camera editing! Some of them are:

1. Red-Eye Reduction- Really good tool that works well

2. Soft Edge Filter- Average

3. Partial Color Filter- Better then the Partial Color Filter on my computer

4. Fish Eye Filter- I do not ever use this

My very first photo i took with this camera was of one of my calico cat "Baby". I got a great picture on my first try!
