I am actually a college student majoring in photography and this camera really helped in my digital class. Lets face it, everything is going digital, so it helps to know. HOWEVER, it really didn't meet my needs when it comes to the "PRO" arena.

First, when I got the camera I really didn't like the shape of it. It sounds vain, but it really isn't. I guess I just feel that camera shapes have been basically the same for so long for a reason. I like the SLR look, even if it's digital. I guess sony feels they need it to look "modern" for people to take it seriously. It also hangs really poorly on your...

I really enjoy this camera. I have had it since May of 2007 and have already taken over two thousand pictures with it. I love to go out for a drive and take pictures so I need an affordable camera within my budget to capture the best pictures I can. Included in my review are a few photographs from my website. I own these photographs so they are not in violation of any copyright. I am sharing them here because I believe they show more clearly than words how great this camera is. For someone who is familiar with digital cameras I would say that the learning curve for this camera is a few hours... review »

This is my second Sony camera.  My first camera was the Sony Mavica which I loved but it was definitely time to upgrade.  I'm enjoying the higher megapixels and zoom as well as the duo pro memory versus the pocket CD memory the Mavica used.  I am having a little trouble with red eye but there are manual settings I haven't yet had the opportunity to take advantage of that may well cure that.  The camera has a sports setting which will take a series of rapid shots which I really like because we attend sporting events.  The camera comes with a lens hood that I've experimented with.  It does... review »

I obtained this camera a year ago as the primary camera for our animal rescue group.  We are Dalmatian Rescue of Southwest Virginia - www.drswv.com   Our rescue would have loved to have had an SLR, but couldn't afford the price of it, so my husband bought it for me for our anniversary.    We have taken thousands of shots of our Dalmatians available for adoption, and I couldn't be happier.   You can be as technical as you want in manual mode, or make it an easy 'point & shoot' in automatic mode.   I have had Sony Cameras for the past 25 years, and I couldn't be happier with this one... review »

I have been using digital cameras for about five years. I researched several brands before buying the Sony. This camera literally takes sharp, high resolution pictures with little more than a push of the shutter button. Movement by the user, light conditions, subject motion, back light, low light among others are simoultaniously adjusted for the shot. If the user wishes to push the speed or other setting manually the camera can be taken a step further for more advanced photographers and even better quality can be realized in the shots. For the money, this is the best digital camera on market for... review »

Ten years ago, I bought my first Sony digital camera. It took good pictures and was dependable. That's why when I replaced it with a new digital camera, I knew I wanted another Sony brand. The DSC-H7 is a great camera and even better than the first one. It takes great pictures in very low light. Even candid shots look professional. I highly recommend this camera. My only complaint with Sony proiducts is that there is no way to protect the LCD viewfinder from scratches or creating a wear spot where it rubs against your clothes, when you hang it around your neck.

We bought this camera for our daughter for her birthday this year. So far she has used all summer with her friends.  She has had allot of fun with it.  It is light and easy to use.  She and her friends had fun watching the pictures after taking them.  It was really neat to have them instantly for them to see.  I would recommend this camera for any teenager that likes to take pictures weekly.

Easy to use right out of the box - just got this in October 2007 and already my pix are looking better than ever.  I especially like the "face finder" feature - when you have someone in your sights and click the picture, the background is kind of hazy, so your main subject stands out. I take lots of nature photos - wildlife, etc., and the 15x zoom is the best!

I just recently purchased my sony and I am loving every bit of it! My previous camera did not take close up shots well at all and you had to hold super steady or the picture would be blurry. Not with my sony cybershot! I have no complaints! It also has a great slide show feature as well as voice recorded video!

The Sony DSC-H7 is a reliable and easy-to-use camera.  You can use it directly out of the box. I hate having to spend 6 weeks learning to use a camera - this one can be used immediately. To use all of its features does require some reading and practice but its not bad.
