Product Description CL) U) Sony DSC-H7 BLK Digital Camera From the Manufacturer The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 camera combines 8.1-megapixel resolution and a powerful Carl Zeiss 15x optical zoom lens with new features for long-distance and fast-action shooting -- including Advanced Sports mode with high shutter speed (1/4000 seconds), powerful flash, Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization and High Sensitivity mode (ISO 3200) to reduce blur even in low light. Theres more: an electronic color viewfinder, manual exposure and focus, remote control with supplied controller, Face Detection to bring out the best in faces -- even an HD output for sharing memories with family and friends in spectacular high-definition clarity on compatible HDTV screens. Cyber-shot DSC-H7 HighlightsHigh-power Carl Zeiss 15x optical zoom A superb lens for bringing long-distance subjects up close, the pro-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens design of the DSC-H7 provides 15x optical zoom design -- with 25x HD digital zoom to enlarge the center portion of the picture so you see even more detail. 8.1-megapixel Super HAD CCD More megapixels give you more detail and definition for editing, cropping, and making large digital prints. Sonys advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. Advanced Sports mode To capture fast-moving subjects in split-second detail, the DSC-H7 provides a Sports shooting mode that combines high shutter speed (1/4000 seconds) with intelligent continuous AF that responds more quickly to rapid motion -- a great way to catch the perfect moment in sports, childrens games, pet tricks and more. Long-distance flash A powerful flash provides extra illumination to light up subjects farther from your camera, with precise light control and the ability to adjust flash for both front and rear sync when shooting at low-speed sync setting. Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization Other image stabilization systems crop in to compensate for \"camera shake\" -- but with the Super SteadyShot system, optical sensors detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens that allows even ultra-long-distance digital photos to capture more detail with less camera shake distortion. High Sensitivity mode With Super SteadyShot image stabilization to minimize blur, High Sensitivity mode (ISO 3200) lets the DSC-H7 shoot effectively in low light without flash to preserve the mood -- and Sonys original Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress the color noise that can accompany high-sensitivity shooting. Face detection By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color and flash, this new Sony feature helps reveal faces in shadow, makes skin tones look more natural and minimizes harsh facial glare -- to help bring out every expression on every face in every shot, so youll capture the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive. HD output Thanks to Sony, your photo album can go high-def -- with direct HD output to compatible HDTV screens, so you can view DSC-H7 still photos in spectacular high definition clarity and detail. Your life never looked so exciting! Note: HD output requires an optional Sony HD connector cable; HDTV sold separatelyHD slide show with music Its the high-definition viewing experience that makes photos come alive on compatible HDTV screens, accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of four preset musical selections stored in memory or your favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to your camera for use as background music. 9-Point Auto Focus Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, the DSC-H7 can measure auto-focus precision at 9 points on your screen -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. D-Range Optimization Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz high-speed processing engine, D-Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great results even in difficult lighting conditions. In-camera retouching The DSC-H7 lets you add creative effects to photos after you shoot -- including soft edge filter to soften backgrounds, cross filter to place starry \"dazzles\" at highlight points, partial color filter to mute surrounding colors, even fish-eye filter to create interesting fish-eye lens effects. In-Camera Red-Eye Reduction Irritating \"glowing eyes\" can ruin even the most creative photos -- so the DSC-H7 gives you in-camera correction at the touch of a button to reduce lingering red-eye effect that other systems might miss. 2.5-inch LCD screen, simple controls The DSC-H7 provides a large, bright LCD screen that makes it easy to compose shots, check results and read menus even in bright sunlight -- plus simple camera menus, a new GUI Home button, and Function Guide display that makes it easier to learn camera setup operations. Electronic color viewfinder In addition to its 2.5-inch LCD screen, the DSC-H7 has a built-in electronic color viewfinder that lets you shoot in traditional camera style and save battery power by turning your LCD screen off. Remote control function In both shooting and play mode, you can use a supplied remote control unit to control basic camera functions -- including zoom, menu settings, etc. -- so you can put yourself in the picture when shooting with a tripod or sit back and enjoy the show when you share images on your home TV screen. Wheel dial for manual exposure modes For more creative freedom, a simple wheel-dial control lets you quickly change camera settings in manual modes (shutter speed priority, aperture priority, manual exposure) and also control ISO sensitivity, focus area, and exposure value. In play mode, the wheel dial provides a quick way to view your next or previous shot. 31 MB internal memory The DSC-H7 allows you to capture shots in-camera for later transfer to PC or Memory Stick Duo media -- so even if you forget your flash memory card, you can always get the shot. Memory Stick Duo Media The DSC-H7 has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo media or higher-capacity Memory Stick Pro Duo media -- the ultra-compact media for shooting, storing and sharing your photo images. 76x Smart Zoom feature Sonys Smart Zoom feature gives you an amazing ultra-close crop on the central portion of interest in your photo while avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms. MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode The DSC-H7 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second) -- with optical zoom in movie mode to let you zoom in or pull back while taking action shots. Stamina battery power The DSC-H7 provides up to 250 shots with a fully-charged NP-BG1 Lithium-ion battery -- enough shooting capacity to cover a long weekend or a whole vacation.

Sony Cybershot DSC-H7 8.1MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Image Stabilization Zoom (OLD MODEL)

• I did a lot of research on \"bridge\" cameras (digital cameras that fall between \"point and shoot\" and DSLRs) and finally decided on the H7 for two reasons. First, I owned a 3.2 mp Sony camera prior to this one. I was pleased with the way it worked and found the in-camera menus easy to use. I wanted to upgrade to more megapixels and larger optical zoom, but still have an \"easy to use\" camera. Second, Sony cameras had ALL the features I wanted (steady shot, face recognition, high ISO, etc) whereas other brands tended to only have one or two of these options.The camera was easy to set up and I started taking pictures within 5 minutes (the battery was 2/3 charged out of the box). The camera came with a remote, carrying strap, lens cover, and lens shade. You have to buy a memory stick, but I just used my extra one from my PSP.Pros:-8.1 megapixels with 15x Optical zoom: These two features are hard to find together in a camera. I found with other cameras I had to compromise on one or the other. The mix of these two features creates some great pictures.-Steady Shot: Like other reviewers said, I found this helps a lot when you are at maximum zoom-Face recognition: It takes some fiddling to make it work right, but it does help center your pictures on the people rather than the background.-Menus: Having owned a Sony camera before, learning the in camera menus wasn\'t that hard. However, it may take some time for folks not used to Sony products.Cons:-LCD screen: The screen smudges very easily and quickly. The resolution on the screen isn\'t very good for what I expected from Sony and is the main reason I can\'t give this product 5 stars.-Body style: While the construction of the camera gives a very professional look, it can be hard to hold. You will probably need two hands if you\'re doing a lot of shots.-Accessories must be Sony made: As with all Sony products, you must buy only their accessories. I know this is a big factor for folks who already own a large collection of lenses.-Action shots: I probably need to work the settings on the camera, but all my action shots seem to come out blurry. I had seen some reviews of this camera that said this was an issue.All in all, this is a great camera. As a previous reviewer said this camera is not for folks looking for a DSLR. It is a step above the first generation of \"point and shoots.\" However, for all the features you get, it is a great value.
• Although the \"flat\" Cybershot I bought three years ago still takes great photos, and can still fit in my pocket, its fatal flaw--a screen which becomes useless in bright sunlight--led me to buy this model, which has an electronic \"viewfinder\" which can be seen in any light. The photos I\'ve taken so far are terrific.Other mechanical aspects are amazing: the hand-hold is very comfortable and secure, the camera body is light and easy to handle (so light that it feels like a toy until you realize what great photos you\'re getting), and the viewfinder can be focused, with just enough difficulty that it won\'t adjust inadvertently.Unfortunately, the charger which comes with the camera requires five hours to charge the battery (which must be removed to do so). This didn\'t bother me much until I started reading the \"Accessories\" folder while I was waiting for it to charge so I could start playing with the camera, and learned that a charger is available at additional cost which will charge the battery in ninety minutes. This should be included with a camera costing more than three hundred dollars!Similarly, the camera\'s internal memory isn\'t sufficient to take more than a few pictures, so to use the camera you will immediately need to purchase \"accessory\" memory. (While you\'re at it, given the time it takes to charge a battery, you probably want to buy another battery, too).(It\'s been so long that a camera came with even a rudimentary case that I won\'t even list that deficiency. I consider myself lucky that a strap, lens hood, and lens cap are included!)
• I had a Sony F-828 and made the mistake of selling it to buy an h7. I figured the F-828 was an 8.0mp and the h7 is a 8.1mp and thought I would be getting a little better camera, Boy was I wrong! The image quality is not as sharp compared to the old 828. Which means the processor in the h7 is not as good a quality as my old camera.So if your looking for super sharp detail the h7 will not deliver!I also purchased the 1.7x Telephoto lens and the 0.75x wide angle lens at the time I purchased the camera...they were very pretty lenses out of the box but really didn\'t do that much for the money they cost. Two things I did and at the same time did not like about the h7 was how light weight it was and the other the 15x optical zoom. However with it being so light it had a very cheap feel to it and the bad part about the zoom is it\'s a motorized zoom and that means battery life will suffer (also it\'s just something else to go wrong and need to be repaired) and you can\'t quiet adjust the zoom as precise as with a manual lens barrel.In other words if your serious about photography then move on cause the h7 just isn\'t going to get it.{Bottom line} \"if your someone who wants a decent camera for the money and are not real critical of photo quality then this camera will do just what you need\".That is why I gave this camera a 3 star rating.Thankfully I sold the h7 and accessories(took a loss) but now I have stepped up to a true DSLR, the Sony A350 which is a lot like the F-828 but even better.Hope this helps, happy picture taking!
