We like:
Relatively wide angle for a megazoom; tonnes of manual and automatic features; large, flip-up LCD; fast continuous shooting
We don't like:
Small EVF; lens aberrations and vignetting; image noise and some processing artefacts; lacks hotshoe and raw file support
CNET.co.uk judgement:
If you shoot primarily outdoors in daytime -- especially sport, children and animals -- the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 is a great choice. The cheaper DSC-H7 has a smaller LCD, lacks infrared shooting, and has a few interface differences, but is otherwise identical
