Sony - Cybershot H9 Digital Camera Review

A pretty solid camera really.   It does take a bit to learn and get used to, but at the price, it is a pretty good camera.  Pretty solid auto features and manual over-rides.  15x zoom is awesome and the steady shot is pretty good.  The built in flash has a terrific range of something like 45 feet, and the wide lens goes all the way out to 30mm, which is pretty solid.  The sports mode stop action is terrific, and I have taken tennis pictures with the 15 zoom all the way out at indoor courts and stopped action.  It gets a bit noisy in low light, but aren't they all.  Also, I wish it used regular sd stick, but I like the sony lithium ion rechargeable.  Only complaint is slight shutter lag and long time between pictures even in continuous mode.  Comes with a lens hood for the sun and a remote.  Night vision is unique too, and it has an infrared light source so you can "see" in pitch black, thought the light source is not perfectly aligned with the lens so the illumination is not even.  All in all, a very feature rich camera that I will probably shoot until one that takes hd video and has a faster burst mode comes along.
