Hey! You should know that Sony has released a newer version of this product: the Sony Cybershot H20.
Sony Cybershot H7
Editor's Review
The H7 is quite old by digital camera standards. If you're looking to purchase a Sony point-and-shoot with a hefty zoom, take a look at the recent H20. Here's what we had to say about the H7 when it was released in February 2007:
The Sony Cybershot H7 is a marvelous update on one of the most popular extended zoom cameras ever, the Sony H2. This model features a capable 8.1 megapixel sensor and outrageously long 15x zoom, second only to the 18x Olympus SP-550UZ in zooming potential. The H7 is a slightly cheaper version of the Sony H9, but the only major difference is that the H7 has a 2.5-inch LCD as opposed to the H9's 3.0-inch display.

Sony Cybershot H7 Comments & Questions (write your own!)
I suspect I'm message up a setting. Is there a way to set back to factory default? But it would be nice to know where I go to set the image resolution and quality.
But basically, you turn off the camera, remove the battery, press down the power switch again and then replace the battery.
You might think to just use post processing in your computer and get the images to be the way you want them without calibrating the monitor which is OK until you want to share the images on someone elses computer. Opps!
The problem that I have is that the camera is VERY aggressive in its noise reduction. When I zoom in on pictures on my computer, the faces look like they are from a painting. The details in the pictures are not sharp at all and are frankly very low quality.
I have a 4 megapixel HP that (when zoomed) shows a lot more noise but has much cleaner and finer details.
An example of this is see on indoor photos of people with long hair. The older HP lets me zoom in and I can see individual strands of hair (though a lot more noise) On the Sony all I see when I zoom in is a jarbled sea of black.... no evidence at all that individual hairs exist in the photo!
I have tried keeping the ISO levels below 100, I have tried portrait mode, I have even tried the higher ISO levels but nothing seems to help.
Can anyone tell me if they are able to get better results? Is it something that I am doing wrong or is their some hidden setting that I am not aware of??
I would appreciate any and all advice... especially from the Sony H7 users who claim that this is a great camera. Please help me to undertand how to take great pictures with this greatly overpriced beast!!
There are numerous other menus you can tweak including a "sharpness" menu. You could try there. But first, I would reset the camera. This is a fairly easy procedure which involves either going into your setup menu and choosing "reset" (or intialize), holding down the menu key for 5 seconds, or, removing the batteries for a few minutes. It may be that the firmware loading got corrupted and the camera just needs to be "rebooted," which is something that turning it on/off won't accomplish. But after which, you should have the camera reset to factory default settings. Another tip is to go to SONY's website and look for firmware updates. Download and install them.
But in the end, it may just be how you shoot your pictures. You may also want to try shooting with a flash, even in daylight. It will make the subject "pop" in the photo quite nicely.
I have tried a combination of every possible setting... decreased ISO, increased aperature, even increased sharpness from the menu. The portrait mode only serves to blur the background so that doesn't help either. The shots I have taken have been a mix of flash as well as non flash.... daytime as well as nighttime. Generally I notice that as the ISO increases, the "painted" effect increases so this leads me to believe it is the noise reduction scheme of the camera.
I have checked for firmware upgrades and there are none available as of yet though I have read quite a few owners of this camera clammering for Sony to include an update that allows for manual control of noise reduction.
From what I have gathered from searching the net, the bionz processor in this camera (the same as what Sony puts in the DSLR cameras) is over agressive in its approach to any perceived noise... To the point that it will apply heavy noise reduction which obscures details and thus gives the painted effect.
This painted effect is so dramatic that when I do a 100% zoom of a face in the photo it looks as if it is mottled and done in a watercolor effect. At first I thought my camera was defective because even my old HP does not produce such a bad effect. After reading many reviews on the internet I have concluded this is inherent in the Sony H7/H9.
A lot of people have praised this camera and given it excellent reviews so I was wondering if anyone had found any way to bypass this or adjust the settings to minimize this effect.
I currently own a Sony H7 but in the back of my mind I find myself longing for a Kodak z812is. The kodak does not have the zoom range, or the iso range... heck it does not even come with a lithium battery but it shoots video in High def (with sterero), it has a better viewfinder, is easier to access menus and functions. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions regarding the kodak vs the sony.
On the other hand, lithium batteries lose their capacity as they get older. So I find there's little advantage there. Why not pick up the camera for a weekend and see how you like it? If you do, the H7 can always become a backup camera or find it's way onto ebay, or you can return the Kodak if you find that wanting is a much greater thing than actually having.
I am working on obtaining z812 to try myself but I thought I would get other user's opinions before making the investment in time and money.
I agree that ISO can actually be more of a hinderance in digital cameras but the Sony has a more usuable iso range than the Kodak. The problem is that the sony has a heavy noise reduction scheme that gives the pictures a cartoonish look when enlarged. It really bothers me that such an expensive and highly rated camera has such a huge flaw. I was wondering if the Kodak pictures are more "razor sharp" than the sony and if anyone knows of any picture quality flaws in the Kodak.
On a 4x6 print this is not that noticeable but when you enlarge to 8x10 or even just zoom at 100% on your monitor the difference is like night and day.
The only advantage I see in the Sony is that it has a nice slideshow mode with audio and it comes with a lithium battery and remote control (I don't use the remote control anyway!) and a lens hood for daytime shooting. The lens hood is a monster so it is not really convenient to leave it on.
The most important thing on a camera is how it takes pictures and so far the Kodak seems to be ahead. Anyone have experience with either of these that could shed some more light??
Thanks for the link to the article. It really is enlightening and I think I may actually end up waiting until Kodak introduces the chip using the new processing. It seems like it may be ready toward the end of this year.
It is amazing that so many people write off Kodak as an off brand. They don't realize that a lot of the technology associated with digital cameras (from compression to sensor algorythms) is actually licensed from Kodak! Now if Kodak will just start using their own technology and make more competition killing products like the z712/z812 then we will have an American camera manufacturer we can actually be proud of!
I am really curious about the new addition to the Kodak lineup. My paradigm may shift from Z812 lust to Z1085 lust!!!
Overall, I was quite pleased with the quality.
Thank you for your reply.
But I still surprised to see zoom during movie recording in some kodak digicam with 5mpx & 3x optical zoom.
I think Sony DSC H3 is much superior than that of Kodak digicam, then why such discrepancy?
Best regards.

I admit I could be wrong about it, but it seems to me that it was either zoom or audio and most preferred to have the audio. until now.
If you go through your camera's set-up, there should be an option for resolution settings. The higher your resolution on the pictures you take, the larger your DPI will be. Please note, that if you use your digital zoom, this will degrade the resolution of the images you take. Good luck and happy shooting.
I will check a few cameras and post what I find.
Sony H7 - 8 megapix shot at 72x72 dpi
I compared that with a Sony T1(5mp), as well as cameras from HP (4mp), Kodak (2mp), and a generic camera (texkon k3 5mp with 12 mp interpolated).
All had 72x72 dpi. The generic camera was the only one that produced photos at a higher setting of 96x96 dpi. This camera was the only one that produced photos that were subpar so I have a feeling that this dpi measure is not the same as what we think of when using our printers.
We have tried all settings,looked online and in the manual....no luck.
Turn the wheel dial to select the item you want to set. Move the yellow indication (V) to select the item. Press the (O) on the control wheel. The value turns yellow. When the values are displayed in yellow, the values can be selected and set by turning the wheel dial. The displayed value is set.
This camera comes with a proprietary lithium-ion battery. Both the battery and charger come with the camera. If you decide to go with this camera (or any with a lithium-ion battery), make sure you fully charge the battery before first use. The manual that comes with the camera should give an estimated time for first charge. I have seen some batteries take up to 4-8 hours for their first charging time, so plan accordingly. Good luck and happy shooting.
Thanks so much for your relpy -- I have borrowed an H5 model from another dept at work to play with and try out and really like the camera -- but unfortuntately they know very little about the camera and have no idea what accessories it came with. They have regular AA batteries in it and it seems to run fine so I am glad to know it comes with rechargeable -- otherwise, that could get expensive!
Thanks again for your response!!
You can actually get a USB transfer device ( amazon.com/Memory-Stick-Car... ) that is compatible with Sony memory sticks. The camera itself also comes with associated USB transfer cables. Good luck and happy shooting.
Thanks again!
I'm glad we could help. Please come back with any further questions or issues.
no wonder they don't list them by equivalent mm lengths.
I am a huge Canon fan, but I like the Sony H7 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) better between these two for a couple specific reasons. First, you have more optical zoom with the Sony 15x vs 12x. Having more flexibility with your zoom will allow for more felxibility with your photos. You won't find yourself wishing for extra lenses as much with this camera. It also has a wider ISO setting range. While a higher ISO will cause increased graininess in photos, it will help you get better shots in lower light situations. You might hear a lot of arguments on the downside of a high ISO, but I have found that using free software like Picasa or purchasing something like PaintShop Pro (which I use) will help reduce the graininess through noise reduction functions. I hope this helps.
Other factors to consider: Canon uses AA size NiMH batteries vs Sony uses proprietary Lithium Ion
Canon has stereo sound vs mono on the Sony (best double check me on that one)
Canon has a hot shoe for adding an external flash (really depends on your style of photography)
Sony has a remote control.
Now you just have to weigh it all in the balance and decide what is important and what you can do without.
Also, be sure to try both of them in your hands in the store since sometimes that makes a HUGE difference.
Good Luck.
The H7 seems a bit smaller and easier to manage than the Cannon S5 but the cannon also has the tilt lcd screen and a much better viewfinder. The Cannon also has a much better face detection system that actually locks onto faces (I have not been able to do the same with the Sony... it may be possible but I have not been able to get it to work).
I own the Sony H7 but if given the chance I would trade it in for a Cannon S5 in a heartbeat.
The noise reduction scheme seriously robs the pictures of details... they look like they are paintings instead of crisp photos.
The lens is much wider than the Canon but it has some serious distortion.
Purple fringing is unebelievable for a camera of this price. I once gave my 3 year old son an old HP digital camera simply because it had too much purple fringing and this seems to be much worse!! (I can't afford to give this one to a 3 year old otherwise I would beg to have that HP returned!!).
The controls and menus are incredibly frustrating to use. Some settings are redundant others are buried... none of them make sense and the stupid design of the rotating dial makes it all so frustrating!
A lot of people give Sony way too much credit... the Sony name seems to have a blinding effect because if the H7 were made by HP or GE people would laugh at it.
If you can deal with the size and the weight of the Canon then it is the obvious way to go... another great option would be the panasonic TZ3,4,5. Personally I am looking at the Kodak z812... much lower price tage and seems to have more detailed photos and easier interface.
the camera i sugest is a camera from the panasonic lumix range.
in order to get great shot of of objects indoor you require a camera with good marco
facility, the panasonic cameras have special modes to achieve this
in my opinion these cameras give the best images for your price range.
i have a a lz3 and have used it on many times for close up work;
here is a link to a person who used a pansonic camera to photograph a box of chocolates.
good luck with your store
here is the link that was missing
flickr.com/photos/yuan2003/... here is a link to to tips on the subject
I know the panasonic gets excellent reviews from many sources (especially in terms of image quality), and I tried one out in a store. I didn't really like the "cheap" feel of it, and I don't like the fact that the flash doesn't pop up automatically (even on auto mode). I'm also looking for a camera that proces high quality images on auto mode--my spouse doesn't like to fool around much with settings.
Of the models I listed, what are your thoughts? I'm having a tough time deciding.
If you take Cannon out of the picture you are really limiting your selection because there are some Cannon models which are tops in their class (Including the S5, G9, A590 to name a few).
The Fuji and olympus cameras are great but if you plan on using the zoom (anything over 5x) I would avoid them because they do not have optical image stabilization (only CCD shift or worse yet high ISO compensation). These methods are not enough to compensate for shake and will lead to blurry pictures.
The Panasonic models are pretty good, you may want to try the tz3, tz4, and tz5 models. They have 10x zoom and excellent photos in a very very compact package. Also these models are mostly automatic so they are very easy to use and get good results in auto mode.
As for the Sony... I personally own a Sony H7 and it is not a bad camera. The main problem that I have with it is that it tends to use a heavy noise reduction scheme at higher iso levels. What this leads to is a "painting" like effect when you exam the pictures up close. Of course this can be avoided by manually keeping the ISO level below 200 but this entails fiddling around with the camera. If the camera is kept in full auto mode it tends to shoot indoor photos (even in good light with the flash on) at ISO above 300 which causes the above mentioned problem.
The Kodak Z812 is lower priced and takes pretty good photos and has a ton of feature but it does not have the battery pack included so you will have to purchase it separately.
Frankly if you don't want to fiddle around with settings and want a superzoom go with the panasonic tz3... it has a great auto mode in a compact body with a 10x zoom and 28mm wide angle... cannot be beat!!
The the sony does indeed share the bionz processor with the DSLR lineup... this processor is actually more of a hinderance than a help on the H7. The problem is that the Bionz processor is VERY agressive in providing noise reduction. Agressive to the point that if you look at your pictures at 100% enlargement faces will look like they are painted.
If you take a picture of landscape or trees you will notice (when zooming in on your computer) that the details are totally lost... you will not be able to see the leaves clearly at all when you look at them up close.
Compare that with the Cannon S5 which shows remarkable detail when you go at 100% zoom. Of course the canon shows more noise but a little noise is worth it if it means you will be able to see the details in a photo.
Don't get me wrong, the Sony does take good pictures if you want to stick to 4x6 or sometimes even 8x10 and if you do not zoom in on details. But at this price the sony is supposed to be an "advanced" camera for "advanced" users. The fact that they do not even allow for the option to turn down the noise reduction is a very big mistake for Sony.
I find that many people are wowed by the Sony name without really paying regard for how much they are spending and what they are getting in return. This H7 is the perfect example... it would be a great camera for around $200 but at $300+ it has too many tradeoffs. I have owned 3 sony cameras and all have been dissapointing for their price.
As for LMT's original question... again the fuji and olympus do not have stabilization so they are out of their league... I don't have any experience with the panasonic fz18 though it at least appears to have optical stabilzation so maybe that is your best bet.
I also forgot to mention that the much heralded Carl Zeiss lens is far from perfect. It has a significant amount of barrel and pin cushion distortion and it also has dark edges on the widest setting.
The worst part of this lens is that it has a LARGE amount of chromatic abberrations and purple fringing is also pretty common.
The 15x zoom is great and the 30mm wide is also nice but just because it Says Carl Zeiss does not mean that it is a great lens. Dont be fooled by the sony marketing propoganda!!
I just bought the panasonic tz4 and I must say the auto mode is excellent. The camera actually gauges your photo and decides which mode would be appropriate so all you have to do is point and shoot. The Sony takes great pictures as well but for no brainer photos the Panasonic cannot be beat. Not to mention it has a wider angle (28mm) though a less powerful zoom (10x)
The largest differences between this camera is the fact that it has a 0.5 inch larger LCD screen and can take interchangeable lenses. With only about a $50 difference, I would see this as an opportunity to go with the H9 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) in case you want to expand what you can do with your camera. This camera will support more of what you want to do. Good luck and happy shooting.
salesman told me the lens was not really Zeiss and I should go with the Panasonic Luminx Z8 instead. now I'm even more confused. He said the Luminx had a better Leica lens.
The H7 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) is not much different than the H9 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... )(nothing that I can see that warrants a $100 price difference, though its a $50 difference here on DCHQ), and it actually gets better ratings. The H9 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) does allow for external lens hookups though, which can be nice when trying to do more with your camera.
Both Panasonic and Sony make good cameras. I'd be weary when a salesman tries to steer you in a direction you weren't originally interested in. Many times they are just trying to sell something they're overstocked in. What was the price difference of the camera? The Panasonic FZ8 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) does not have as much zoom or resolution as the other two cameras, though it may perform better in low light situations. If you like the price, it could be a viable option.
The biggest difference between the 2 is that the H9 has a night shot mode. It is pretty signifcant but the photos it takes in this mode look like you took them with night vision goggles on!
If you can live with the lower res screen the H7 is a better buy.
It depends on what you are looking for in a camera. The H7 is lightweight, easy to hold, and realtively fast. The problem is the noise reduction scheme at higher ISO and also the fact that everything on the camera is proprietary.... meaning you will have to buy Sony memory, batteries, cables, etc.
If you want a more professional type of camera the cannon S5 is the best in this range but if you want an easy to use camera that has a big zoom then the panasonic tz3 gives some amazing results for its size.
I like the Olympus better because of the longer optical zoom capabilities. While the rest of the specs are very similar, I think that this capability gives you more flexibility with your photography. Good luck and happy shooting.
I am not a big fan of Sony cameras (I own the H7 and I don't like its noise reduction at high ISO) but honestly the H7 is a very good camera if you keep the ISO level down and you will come out with far less blurry photos.
The lens on the Olympus is far more flexible than the Sony H7 (it allows for a wider 27mm as well as longer 18x zoom whereas the sony is 30mm and 15x). This is not a huge difference but it is noticeable. In spite of this, the fact remains that a great lens is useless if the camera takes blurry photos because of its lack of optical stabilzation.
The external lens multiplies outside of the electronic connection when you connect it to this camera. The camera will say it is at 15x, but if you get a 2x teleconverter, it will be at 30x.
As for value for your dollar. It depends on what you want from the camera. If you're really looking to get some nature shots or close-ups in a sports arena, then an teleconverter will be useful. I would also recommend picking up a tripod or monopod if you want to do this though. At extended zooms, the camera is more open to camera shake. I hope this helps.
To capture picture in black and white just set your capture mode to P or other adjustable setting. Press menu and scroll down to color mode. Then scroll left or right untill you find BW symbol. Select it then Press menu again. You will shoot in black and white mode. Try it. Said Andong

You shoot a shot, particularly in low light, you have to wait on the shutter lag, and also the shutter speed itself. It's easy to get a blurred image due to long shutter times, shutter lag, and camera shake in low light.
Burst modes won't really help as well as getting into the habit of prefocusing and panning with the action. Doing these can drop your shutter lag by as much as 80%.
The good news is that according to recent news articles, many camera companies will be incorporating the CCD chips they use in their SLR lines (which give no shutter lag) into their point and shoot cameras. So look for it within the next few years.
Meantime, there are also other tips to speed up your performance:
1. Prefocus. Hold down the shutter half way to get a prefocus of the image you're shooting. When it changes, prefocus again. This will speed up your camera's performance during picture taking since it won't have to autofocus before it shoots the shot.
2. Use faster SD cards. Yes, there are faster cards and it does make a difference in writing the image file to the card. This is especially key if you're taking multiple or burst images.
3. Fresher batteries. Use alkalines at least. But I recommend using high energy batteries designed for digital photography. Varta is a good brand. They are usually sold in camera shops, are long lasting (because they are sold in small quantities) put out alot of energy.
4. Shoot in "sports" modes when you're in situations that require action. Night or available light modes when in night time settings. These presets can help in speeding up your shots, rather than the camera taking a split second to evaluate the conditions of the lighting.
5. Go manual. If you are manually focusing, particularly in darker settings, you can constantly refocus the image as things happen. Also, the infrared does have a range and if your image is out of that range you can end up with the camera's "best guess" or infinity setting which may not help. You can also go manual on fstops and shutter speeds as well, getting more light faster when you choose.
6. Go with a shallow depth of field.
7. Pan with the action. You can create some pretty cool shots by panning with your shot, focusing on your subject. This will create the effect of your subject in sharp contrast to the blurry background.
8. Use a flash - even in day time. This will "freeze" the image and cause your subject to "pop" in the shot. However, flash is only designed for limited range and can dissipate outside of about 20-25 feet unless you're using a zoomable flash.
9. Stick with 100-400 ISO. Going higher will cause more noise/grain in your shots, particularly in darker settings.
Make these a habitual part of your technique and you'll cut your shutter lag by as much as 80% no matter what camera you use (except for DSLRs, of course, since they don't have the lag).
Now, if you want greater zoom range. Then we can talk the H7. Course, I'd rather talk the SP560UZ ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ).
Nikon has several models ( nikonusa.com/announcement_c... ) which incorporate optical image stabilization. The G9 equivalent is the P5100 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). But there's also the S510, S700, S51 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ), and the L15 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) to name a few.
I have ruled out the Sony H3 and the Panasonic TZ3 since they don't have full manual control. I am considering the Canon SX100 IS or the Sony H7. Which is better?
1. Prefocus. Hold down the shutter half way to get a prefocus of the image you're shooting. When it changes, prefocus again. This will speed up your camera's performance during picture taking since it won't have to autofocus before it shoots the shot.
2. Use faster SD cards. Yes, there are faster cards and it does make a difference in writing the image file to the card. This is especially key if you're taking multiple or burst images.

9. Stick with 100-400 ISO. Going higher will cause more noise/grain in your shots, particularly in darker settings.
No need to lose the moment because you relied on one card one when several can solve that problem. At the very least, you want to get more than one of whatever size you settle on.
One last thing. Cards have different speeds. The faster a card is, the quicker it'll save the photo and cycle to be ready for another shot. In the end, your camera is only going to be as fast as it's slowest link in the chain. So check for speed when you purchase a card.
As for size, I think 2gb is the sweet spot between price and capacity. The 4gb cards are still pretty expensive and the 1gb cards will mean you have to change frequently so stick with a couple of 2gb cards and you should be fine.
One thing you may want to keep in mind.... there are many fake memory stick pro duo cards out in the market (mostly on ebay). They look just like the original (even the packaging is very similar) but they perform horribly and their quality is terrible. I recently made the mistake of buying fake sony 4gb card only to have the top of the card come off when I tried to remove it from my card reader. Make sure you buy original!!
The 8MP is the resolution of the photo (8million pixels per inch). The 2 M is for megabytes, the size of the file. If you have the camera set to 8MP, the images are in that format. I hope this helps.
I'd also clean your lens element as it can easily become smudged and dirty. You may even not realize it. If you have a 1A filter on the front, remove it and clean both sides and the lens element itself. If you don't have one, get one. Best insurance policy against impact damage you can have.
I am looking for a camera so that I can take photos for my kid while he is running around or jumping around. My old P73 often takes blur photos when he moves. I have following questions.
1. Can both Sony H3 and H7 perform this function? Which one can do a better job?
2. H7 has 100 continuous shot function, how about H3?
3. Is this continuous shot really help?
I would really appreciate if someone can answer my questions.
Meantime, what you need to do is change the way you shoot the shot in order to minimize that budding little "Flash" (the Superhero) you've gotten running around making all your shots blurry:
1. Prefocus. Hold down the shutter half way to get a prefocus of the image you're shooting. When it changes, prefocus again. This will speed up your camera's performance during picture taking since it won't have to autofocus before it shoots the shot.
2. Use faster SD cards. Yes, there are faster cards and it does make a difference in writing the image file to the card. This is especially key if you're taking multiple or burst images.
3. Fresher batteries. Use alkalines at least. But I recommend using high energy batteries designed for digital photography. Varta is a good brand. They are usually sold in camera shops, are long lasting (because they are sold in small quantities) put out alot of energy.
4. Shoot in "sports" or "kids" modes when you're in situations that require action. Night or available light modes when in night time settings. These presets can help in speeding up your shots, rather than the camera taking a split second to evaluate the conditions of the lighting.
5. Go manual. If you are manually focusing, particularly in darker settings, you can constantly refocus the image as things happen. Also, the infrared does have a range and if your image is out of that range you can end up with the camera's "best guess" or infinity setting which may not help.

9. Stick with 100-400 ISO. Going higher will cause more noise/grain in your shots, particularly in darker settings.
As for which one to get. I'm not much of a SONY fan since they rely on proprietary technologies such as the memory stick which I believe paints their users into a technological corner. However, since you already use SONY, it makes sense for you to stay in the family. Both are going to yield similar results. Almost exactly, in fact. With the exception of whistles and bells which you may like over the other.
Continuous shooting will help alot. Burst modes are one of the ways you can capture that speedy little devil.
In the end, when trying to make a final call, it may just come down to what camera feels good in your hand. Go to a local camera store and check both out side by side, holding them, feeling their center of gravity, the balance. How it sits in your hand. That usually sells me one way or the other. But in your case, they'll both be pretty similar again.
I'd like to know that finally which camera is better sony H7 or H3?
They don't list the H7, but they do list the H9 which is a slightly more expensive version of the H7 thanks to it's larger LCD screen.
my hobby iz photografy n was using Sony P72 but now i want some high spc camea with focus control n with gud shuter speed but i am bit confuzed between H3 n H7 ! or i shud buy some other cam ???
Honestly for the price of a Sony H3 the Kodak z812 is is a much better buy and takes much better pictures. But the Sony H7 beats the kodak though it costs much more than the kodak.
You may find it cheaper to buy it from India (if you know anyone who is there) because there are a lot more Sony Vendors in India. Still the price in India is much more than the price we pay in the US or Europe becaues of the import duties.
I'll give you an example of when a 10x optical zoom can shoot farther than another 10x optical zoom. Consider a 28mm-280mm vs. a 35mm-350mm camera. Both have 10x zoom, because most advertised optical zoom is in regards to their range, not the typical 35mm multiplier. So whereas both these cameras are "the same" when you're reading the box, the telephoto side of the zoom is much further with the 35-350mm model.
However, a camera with 12x optical zoom could only beat your camera (all things being equal), if it matched your 465mm zoom. This could only happen if its zoom range is 38.75mm-465mm or higher (40mm-480mm, for example).
You'll need to find out her camera or the zoom range specs. Otherwise, all things being equal, she's using a little digital zoom to compensate for close pictures (which you generally never want to do, because you can always post-edit and get the exact zoom you want, without degrading your picture).
I should also mention, that if your friend has an SLR or dSLR, the zoom on the interchangeable lenses is generally more than specified because of how the dSLRs apply the zoom. It's always higher than what's shown. A 300mm lens on a dSLR, for example, could really be 360mm or more, sometimes.
Hope that helps!
"Digital cameras:
Many people have found success photographing the night sky with digital cameras. But it's not as simple as it might seem.
One problem with consumer digital cameras is that if you leave the shutter open for more than a couple of seconds, you will start to get electronic noise in the image. A lot of digital cameras won't even let you open the shutter for more than a few seconds. According to Mike Durkin of New York's Amateur Observers' Society (AOS), digital cameras are good for bright objects that can stand some magnification.
"My first astrophoto with a digital camera was of the Moon," Durkin said. "I just pointed my camera at the eyepiece and clicked. Most of the pictures streaked because my hands weren't steady enough, but a couple were okay. The Moon is bright enough that you can get a so-so image this way. Since then I bought an eyepiece that threads directly into the camera."
Ken Spencer, a professional photographer and a member of the Astronomical Society of Long Island (ASLI) agrees. Spencer first tried digital astrophotography a few years ago with an Apple QuickTake 200, which was limited to 640x480 pixel images.
"Just for fun, I hand-held it over the eyepiece of my 6-inch f/6 homebuilt Newtonian reflecting telescope, and photographed the Moon," he said. "Sent the photo to a guy who had a website for users of the camera, and he was amazed. That was then, this was now, but that kind of photography should work for anyone.""
The article goes on to give some really good tips.
There's another article here ( fvastro.org/articles/digital/ ) that offers some tips as well.
Which camera takes better movies, Canon S5 or Sony H7?
Can anyone let me know how to take black and white photographs from this digicam? Is there any setting by which this can be done? Or such a feature is not avaliable in this camera?
Color Mode will be one of them and black and white will be the last choice under Color Mode.
It is not difficult to find and after trying once of twice you will get it.
I shoot pictures with this new Sony DSC H-7 digicam of mine with 8MP setting, but when I see them on the computer, they appear clear when they fit to screen. But when I view the actual size of the picture, the picture then starts to appear slightly hazy and the boundaries of the objects do not appear as sharp. Is there any way in which this problem can be addressed?
Pressing it at the ' + ' side zooms on the subject and you get a larger picture.
Pressing it at the ' - ' side zooms out and you get a wide angle picture.
Macro is controlled by the left directional switch.
Look at the 4 directional switch on the right of the Screen. The left one has a logo of a flower on it. This is the macro switch.
Press this switch when you are in shooting mode and the camera will be in macro mode.
"Pressing it at the ' + ' side zooms on the subject and you get a larger picture" gives max 2,8 (Shooting settings/ Digital zoom / *smart* zoom). I wonder is there at least something more and what in that case 15x zoom means.
Macro does not work. It simply says all the time (when to press on a a logo of a flower on it) that it can not be used. Please suggest!!
It could be a simple problem of dirt / water getting into the button and electrical contacts are lost.
Probably the camera has to go back to the supplier for servicing unless somebody else has a better explanation..
I'm not sure I'm really following your question here. What exactly do you mean by pitch in this context?
The widescreen (16:9) images produced by the H7 are 1920x1080 pixels, or roughly 2.1MP. This is why they look less sharp than the 8MP full-frame (3:2) images.
Hope this helps!
Sony DSC - H7 is better in all the specs except it does not have flip & tilt LCD viewfinder, which S3 IS does.(Sony DSC - H9 has that option but costly).
But few friends are suggesting to go for Canon not Sony because Canon has very good experience in camera manufacturing than Sony, which is good at electronics.
Please help me out to decide.

I had the same dilemma, I choose the SONY because:
cnet.com had a better review of it than the canon.
Also the zoom on the sony was more powerful
THe sony H7 has ability to shoot in HD mode and viewable on a TV, which I was interested since I recently purchased a 1080 P LCD TV.
I got a 4 GB sony pro duo memory card for about $35 - which is pretty damn cheap
If I had a couple extra $$$ I would buy the canon powershot G9 , a friend of mine got that and it is sweet.
The biggest problem with the S3 is that the LCD is much smaller and honestly more difficult to view. On this basis alone the Sony is much easier to use. The zoom is not that much of a difference (between 12x and 15x) so just hold both in your hand and see which one feels better to you.
If you want the best go with the cannon S5... the S3 comes close but that tiny LCD screen becomes really annoying after a while. The H7 is a good choice after the S5
It also has in camera editing features such as cropping, sepia and black/white alerations, nite modes, super macro mode for REALLY close up shots, panoramic guides for shooting multiple shots to stitch into a panarama, even a mode for shooting documents.
I'm really enjoying it. If I had to complain, however, I have found the menu structure wanting and difficult to use on the fly. But other than that, it's a top notch camera.
I used it chooting birds in flight and got some great shots, even on burst mode. You can try using it for weddings, but the flash of any prosumer will be wanting ...
As for SONY, In my opinion, it's a good idea to steer clear of SONY, as they tend to force their customers into proprietary technologies such as the memory stick, their own spin on formatting, and a host of others which the Canon won't do. Canon relies on SD cards, which are pretty much the standard in point and shoot for memory cards. This means you can use any you happen to currently have and they are much cheaper than memory sticks. You can also use them in other technologies like PDAs, DMPs, and even mp3 players, whereas that memory stick is only going to be used in another SONY.
There may be promotional sales on the new camera just because its new. If this is the camera you want to purchase, I'd go for it.
would you suggest staying with SonyH5/7 or looking at the Canon S3? I really want a camera with a super huge lens to help with surfing shots...
If you really want a big lens in a prosumer, I am currently testing the Olympus SP-550UZ ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) and have so far been quite pleased with the results. 7.1 MP, 18x zoom, image stabilization and some great scene based program features including a 15fps burst mode. This is great for sports photography.

The H7 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) is getting great reviews here, and I've heard lots of good things about its image quality. The only thing I'd be concerned about would be the actual physical camera itself- I have heard it said that it is difficult to handle as it has a somewhat unusual shape, and having handled it myself I tend to agree. So you may want to pick it up in the store and make sure you're comfortable with it before you buy one.
I can try to suggest a few more cameras if you'd like. You mentioned family shots and good zoom; any other factors? Price range?
I have always loved photography. It has been a dream of mine to have aphotography business. I would like to have a goo camerato start with so maybe one day I can follow my dream. I do not want to spend more than $400.00
I think the H7 may be a fantastic choice for you. It doesn't sound like 'pocket sized' is high on your list of requirements, and as I said it's lack of compactness is really the only thing the H7 doesn't have going for it. In fact, I spent the past several days on a trip with someone who owned this camera and had a chance to use it hands-on, and can vouch for its professional results and speed.
Another camera you may want to consider is the Canon S3. I think image quality between the two will be comparable, but the S3 has a few slight differences, like an articulated LCD (REALLY nice to use) and what seems to be slightly better image stabilization. One more to glance at may be the Sony H9, the bigger brother of the H7 which has an articulated LCD as well (not sure if that one's within your price range though).
Try checking out the specs and reviews on those three; I think any of them would serve your purposes well.
The H7/B is black, the H7 is silver
This means that a camera equipped with MPAF will have the most autofocus (AF) points to focus with. This increases the likelyhood you'll get a sharply-focused photograph in situations where the subject travels across the frame at high speeds, e.g. sports, birds.
Having so many AF points also helps relieve the photographer from having to use the 'lock focus and recompose' method of framing a photograph, since the subject will most probably have been picked up by one or more of the AF points.
As for the cost of the H7 - it's listed here ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) by the Venors as costing anywhere between $360-380 USD. I'm sure you'll find other prices, but that's a good place to start.
Manual focus on most non-SLR digitals (including the H5) is awkward and not particularly useful except for cases where you're shooting something that isn't moving and that you have plenty of time to set up for. Since these cameras don't have focus rings like SLRs, the manual focus is done through a series of button presses, which are unintuitive and slow. If you have the money to spend, I'd go for the H7 and not worry about the missing manual focus feature.
Good luck!
You're going to want a camera that does well in low light settings. Depending on your budgets, I have a couple of recommendations.
If your budget is a little lower, I would go with an extended zoom camera like the Sony H7 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). This camera has a 15x zoom with an ISO setting up to 3200 (great for low light situations). The image stabilization will also help keep sharper photos at the long zoom distances. An issue you might see is "grainiess" or camera noise in photos at ISO 3200. Although that speed will let more light in, you get more camera noise that way.
If you want to spend a bit more for better quality, I would recommend a dSLR ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) camera like the Canon XTi ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) combined with a lens that has a low aperture setting (f/stop number), and a decent amount of zoom (at least 100-200mm) like the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 ( amazon.com/Canon-70-200mm-2... ) lens.
Andrew ( blackdoorphotos.com/ )
So, in conclusion, just pick up an extra battery when you buy the camera and the car adapter...for the car should be about 15 bucks, the battery I think is 40.
I am not professional but its my practical exp.
Picture Quality is the top-priority. Price is not an issue.
If you feel that any other model is superior to the above ones then plz suggest.
Waiting desperately for responce.
Thank You!!
From what I can see, Canon has the slight edge on outdoor photos, but for portraits, color, and up close/macro shots, the Sony T100 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) starts to pull away.
Having said that, I don't like SONY. It relies on proprietary technologies like memory sticks which can't be used in anything other than SONY products. In addition, you are paying for the SONY name.
But there's no mistaking my eyes and I see a definitely difference for the better with the T100. I couldn't test the H7 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ), however, but it does get pretty good reviews and rates a B+. The Canon, on the other hand, rates an A- and has image stabilization.
In the end, you may just need to go to a camera store and hold them all to determine which one works for you.
You can email pretty much any kind of file, but you'll probably have a couple problems with RAW files.
1. They're very large, in terms of file size. Like at least 3-4x as large as a .jpg of the same image. They'll take longer to upload and download.
2. Each camera manufacturer uses a slightly different RAW format. This means, usually, that you have to use that manufacturer's software to view the images. Photoshop can handle most RAW formats, but 99% of PC/Mac users don't have Photoshop.
For these reasons, if you got this camera you'd probably be better off shooting in JPEG mode unless you're shooting explicitly to print at very large print sizes.
Hope this helps!
so is it possible to import RAW images in photoshop from Sony H7
What you mean to say, I think, is that every camera shoots RAW images, but most process them down to JPEG compression for storage. The H7, unfortunately, does not allow you to save images in RAW format.
thanks for your reply :)
It sounds like you have digital zoom disabled somewhere in the camera's menu system. In the "Settings" menu under "Shooting Settings" there should be a setting for digital zoom. Make sure it's turned on, then try again.
Good luck!
Actualy i change 2,3 changes n setting after that it slov the problem. By the way Thaxs for ur kind reply.
Can u tell me where can i get details nfo abt basics of photography, like wht apparture , iso etc. means n how it attect the pic in reality.
Pls help..
The best place to start reading up on those subjects is probably wikipedia. It'll have lots of basic info as well as links to more in-depth discussions of each subject. Here are a few pages:
Aperture ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture )
ISO ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_5... )
Overall Photography ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo... )
Good luck!
You cannot use the 8MP setting or the 3:2 mode with this option (since a 76x magnification results in a VGA ("webcam") image). The *precision* zoom (30x digital) is available in 8MP mode, I recommend that you should stick with that.
No, the H7 doesn't have a direct date/time stamp feature. You'll have to either use a an external computer program that does it when you import them, or do it manually via photoshop or something.
1. the type of file (jpg etc)
2. the rating
3. the dimensions
4. the size of the file.
Also if you hold your cursor on a picture and right-click it and then go to "properties" you will find more information. It will even tell you what camera took the picture.
Yes, each image has EXIF data included in its JPEG encoding, but what Edward was asking about (I think, given the number of similar questions I've fielded) was if the H7 allows you to actually stamp the time/date ON the image itself, in-camera. Consumer digitals used to do this ages ago, but most have moved away from the practice these days.
Sorry I wasn't more clear in my response.
Tnx for your advise, but it does not work. I have a problem with zoom too. On the screen it is written that max zoom is 2,8 (I think I've already tried all kind of settings). How to make it at least 15??? please help!!!
However, all is not lost. You can still do it correctly with a little bit of patience.
Set the lens to wide angle and point the focusing bracket at the object. Hold still and wait for the object to be in focus. Then snap it away.
Since the depth of focus will be shallow, you probably has to use a tripod to keep the camera steady and the aperture has to be set to the smallest.
Go to 'Setup' and select 'Setup 2'.
Set 'File number' to 'Reset'.
This will reset the file number to 0001.
You may find it useful to browse through the FAQs of Sony H7 at <a href="sonydigital-link.com/DIME/F... site</a> for an instant answer to most of the frequently asked questions.
Again, thanks for your imput.
Press the 'Home' button, use left arrow button, go to 'Memory card management'.
Use down arrow button, click until you reach 'Create Folder'.
Confirm that you want to create a new folder.
This should give you a new folder with picture number starting from the begining.
That didn't work either....HOWEVER, here's what I did as a result of lots and lots of experimenting. After I saved what I wanted to a folder in my computer, I "dumped" everything in the trash and emptied it. Then I went back to the original settings using "initialize". It took a bit of time to make sure the time and date were accurate again (and English!), but it finally worked to reset the numbers to 1. Whew! I truly appreciate your help. I'm a novice at all of this; you seem to know what you're doing. I'm enjoying experimenting w/ the new camera. Next week = YOSEMITE! Thanks again.
You can see the jog dial (unfortunately at a fairly bad angle) behind the shutter release button in this picture ( dpreview.com/news/0702/sony... ).
Hope this helps!
See the photos on this link:
crutchfield.com/S-KnBAPqHkp... wheel is not there.
Unless we're talking about different things, the jog wheel is the wheel directly behind the shutter release in the pictures on the site you linked to. I've circled it here ( img246.imageshack.us/img246... ). It's also called the mode dial.
The H7 and 550UZ seem to be the best/latest on the market, but might be too much technology for me. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
These are no doubt some of the newest cameras out there. But what about the 12x zoom of the Canon S3IS? This is a VERY nice camera and, from experience, has plenty of manual controls but also is easy to use under default settings. Admittingly, though, these types of cameras should be purchased because they DO have manual.
The Canon Rebel XTI is also a nice camera that's easy-to-use. This is relatively speaking, since all these dSLR or near-dSLR cameras take some getting used to when compared with the compacts and point-and-shoots.
Decide very carefully if these size/complex cameras are what you really want, and purchase accordingly. Between these 2 models, I'd choose the Sony H7. If you're open to more ideas, I'd say the S3IS.
Thanks for the very sound advice.
I have looked at the canon S3IS, and also the Fujifilm 9600, the reason I have selected the Sony and the Olympus, is that they these are the latest.
I to agree with you re the olympus, reading between the lines it is a complex camera.
I do not know whether i will get ''hooked on photography'', but what I want is a fixed lens camera with a good zoom/wideangle lens that is easy to operate, but can be used manually if I get into it, but not a problem or a waste of features if i just use it as an automatic camera.
Do you plan on taking pictures of this jewelry from across the room? :-P If not, you don't need the zoom. I'm guessing you're just looking for a camera that can handle pictures from a few inches to a few feet away, max. Any camera can do this, and when you shrink down to the 2x2" pictures or smaller that are on websites or catalogues, you'll be fine.
Canon cameras give very nice color defiition. As long as you have enough light in your picture (and what jewelry photographer doesn't?!), you won't need flash, you won't need high megapixels, and you won't need a huge professional camera.
THAT BEING SAID, based on your two options, I'd choose the Olympus.
dpreview.com/reviews/olympu... super-macro mode takes very crisp pictures. Read the professional review if you're interested.
MAny thanks for the input. I have almost, LOL, decided on the sony H7 or H9, over the S3IS, purely on the basis that it is a newer machine and had good reviews.
I will probably plump for thr H7, as I cannot see the advantage of the little the H9 has over the H7, night shooting might be good to have, but I would rarely use it. Saying that we do have barn owls, and some night pix would be nice, but I can get enough shots of them during the day.
The range of the lens, also played a part. I also considered the SONY DSLR-A100 with 2 lens, but I think that it would be a bitof an overkill, and I do not fancy messing around changing lenses., but maybe the resale value of the A100, might be better than the H7.
Thanks again
If you go to:
dpreview.com/reviews/sideby... can compare many cameras side by side.
I cannot see an H6 there though.
Hope this helps.
How about the H7?
Not on dpreview either, and only 2 on amazon: amazon.com/Sony-Cybershot-D... can also check out the reviews on amazon for the DSC-H9... not so good... lol.
If you go to buying/side by side at dpreview, you csan select the H9 and the H7.
I read the 2 reviews on amazon, both seem to be reasonable. I have just received my H7, so will report back on it.
<A HREF="dpreview.com/reviews/compar... a side-by-side comparison of the cameras and they both have manual focus according to the specifications.
You can focus manually for modes "M", "A", "S". in these modes look at LCD options @ bottom rigth by changing the symbol to hand figure by turning the wheel on camera back.
when the option is in yellow color push the mid key and set that by distances option in that.
According to <A HREF="dcresource.com/news/newsite... article</A> "The H9 camera is the only Cyber-shot model in this year's line to feature NightShot technology."
It appears to be that and the difference in LCD size that sets the H7 and H9 apart.
Compared to 3/2 fps (max 7 images) of Panasonic FZ8 and 1.7 fps(max 3 images) of Kodak Z710, Sony H7 probably has one of the highest buffers among the superzoom cameras.

It is a point-and-shoot. It has good preset settings which can filter light and make pro pictures.
It cannot deal with less-than-good light, and so inside/late afternoon/darker places and times make for bad/fuzzy/impossible shots.
"Action" setting is awesome, but again, it cannot handle inadequate lighting. However, for stage pictures/drama/etc with a spotlight on the actors, there never was a better setting!

This is the perfect camera to use at a concert. Video cams and SLR's are not allowed. This camera has excellent video and the sound is perfect, even next to the giant speakers. It is the only digital camera that is not affected by the bass coming from the
speakers. Countless people have watched my videos on youtube and asked what camera I use.

If you are learning and practicing photography, this is the best camera for you. It has pre-set settings that help you with exposure, shutter speed, etc.
It does not do as well inside, or in limited-light environments. Keep a quick finger and a keen eye! This is the camera for you!

I baught this camera hopping to get better pictures than usual cameras and i did. But i'm still not satisfied; an DSLR it's a better choice for those who wants to take hi-fi pictures. For those who wants 2 buy this camera there are some thing good to know :
this camera has remote control (very usefull); u can view your pictures or videos taken with DSC H7 on your LCD or Plasma TV in Full HD mode; the 15x zoom is very usefull in many ocasions; this camera has also included an parasolar for helping u to take good pictures even when the sun shines strongly.
the batterry life isn't very good - if u intent to take more pictures, u need to buy one more battery (that is not a R6 rechargable, like from older models)

I researched a lot on cameras as I didn't want to waste my hard earned money. First I read reviews of cannon and how it's the best, but somehow I was not convinced by the overall performance reviews of cannon. At the end I decided to buy H7- and I couldn't believe it. It's just awesome. I have to say whatever sony makes, it the best and nobody can beat it. The focus of this camera is amazing and the best thing is image stabilizer. It has so many modes to shoot which makes it un beatable coz of its low price. I would recommend you to buy it if you want a camera with great power of zoom lens and high quality indoor and outdoor pictures.

I enjoy using this camara. It's as close to a SLR as you can get without the pricetag. My only problem is 1. Sometimes indoors, it take too long to focus and the picture I saw on the LED screen is not what I got due to the split second delay. I found that I can overcome thi by using the viewfinder which is great because it's electronic therefore WYSIWYG. The other complaint i have is the dial switch on the back of the camara. If you hit the wrong part, which I always do, it switches to the auto timer or macro mode. Finally you need good 20/20 eyesite to read the info on the LED. Outside of those compaints I really love this camara. The zoom feature is outstanding!
- 4.0 out of 5
I am very happy with the camera.
in a earlyer review somebody said: "...Don't expect to get good indoor pictures..." I have had the same problem, but I switch the camera into "Auto Mode" and the photos came out pretty good. Great outside photo's.
8.1 MP is great.
15X gets you up and close, and with the 2X digital zoom(in the camera already) you can get 30X(if the "Conversion Lens" are set to "Off" or "Tele")! just go to: Home> Settings> Shoot Settings> Digital Zoom> Precision.
I don't like the Manual Focus, but it has a good is Auto Focus. I would buy a 1GB SD card for it, on the 8.1MP setting you'll get about 170 pics and 25 min worth of movies.
Overall: Great camera!

I recently from DSC-S40 and made a good decision to purchase the H7. The zooming is perfect and with the super steady shot feature it is wonderful.
- 4.0 out of 5
Yes, The camera does take great photos; it is a bit technical like the Minolta Konica 7 HI, HOWEVER THE CANON HAS A DUMY INFO ON THE SCREEN WHERE A NEW CAMERA BUFF CAN ALLOW IT TO HELP THEM.
The sure shot for no blurs is good but still leaves a bit to be desired so a good rating is what it gets not an excellent.
Good features include the quick click shutter for sports action photos, a long battery life that is rechargeable, and extras for freedom of shooting styles.
The bad no card you must purchase this separately. This is like buying a car with no GAS!!
So I would give it four stars and believe me I own many different brands of digital cameras and can give a true opinion, I am a technology junkie this was my nineteenth digital camera purchase.

I was excited about this camera at first but when I when i got back my first set of pictures developed I was very disappointed. Pictures were grainy and blurry. Outside pictures are beautiful but thats pretty much it . Don't expect to get good indoor pictures. My sister's fuji takes much better pictures. I returned it after just 13 days.

I have always liked Sony over Canon, the natural colors and the ability to shoot in light conditions where Canon failed makes me trust this brand always.
Got one last month @$329 which was good, immediately check for a original piece and yes it was, got clicking and believe me, this one delivers even better shots than my older S90, the macros and image stabilization at full zoom are great, just think again before passing this one over.

I agree with camera controls,it is fuzzy logic.
I have benn disapointed with the fringing and distortion of the Vario-Tessar,that is more than noticeable. But tests of others cameras of the same type are with similar complaints.For familiar or artistic photography it works very very well.Bad Photos when you get ISO 1000 or more,with a lot of electronic noise; but a bad photo is better than a NO PHOTO.Otherwise at ISO 80-400 images are as sharp as you may need.

I recently upgraded from Sony's DSC717 because I wanted the additional telephoto capability as well as the greater megapixels. This camera takes excellent pictures. I use it mostly for outdoor and wildlife photography. It does take some practice and getting used to. I have used both the automatic functions as well as specialties settings. The more I use it the more I like it. The ability to hook it up directly to a large screen TV and show pictures is a very nice feature. Again, I like this camera!!

Fabulous extended zoom camera and takes great pictures and lots of options. However, The USB cable to connect to the computer is flimsy and difficult to push into and out of the camera. Also, marking on cable doesn't tell which side will go into the camera neither does the manual says anything. Apart from this it is amazing.

I am hugely disappointed in this camera. It has a great "paper" specification but in practice it just doesn't deliver. There are 2 main problems:-
1) Image quality - fine if you just want 6x4 prints but once you enlarge photos the quality disappears with purple fringing everywhere (a purple edge where dark areas meet lighter ares). The 8 megapixels just don't deliver - my former 2 megapixel camera takes just as good if not better photos.
2) The top control dial is very easily accidentally moved so you have to check every time you shoot. Very frustrating - could easily have been fixed with a security button to press before you can move the dial.
In addition, if you use macro you have to make sure you switch it off for the next photo. Again annoying.
Like other buyers, you can't get a 74mm filter for love or money.
On the plus side the zoom is excellent and build quality and general feel is good. However it just isn't enough. Wish I had bought a Fuji or Canon around the same price. Sony could do so much better than this!
- 4.0 out of 5
- 5.0 out of 5
I rate this camera excellent on behalf of the great pictures it has taken.

Hey guys,
I just recently attempted to install iPC 10.5.6 on my eMachine T3882. It installs fine, but when i boot it [with the -v flag], all i get is a black screen. when i boot it without the -v flag, i see the apple logo and stays there forever. I tried installing with iDeneb (install failed) and iATKOS (just keeps restarting; can't even boot. Anyone have any ideas?
P.S. Is there a Mac OS 10.X.X live disk? (one that doesn't require installing?)

3900 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL | Directions 3314025.812015 -80.123302
24 hours
Neighborhoods: Oceanfront
avoid staying here – Me and my husband were looking forward to stay at Circa 39 after taking a look at the website but our experience chaged our whole attitude towards the hotel. The hotel is very far from the most happening places in the city, I suggest staying more downtown...anything below 15th street if you looking to have a good time and to be in walkomg distance to food, bars, shopping, and clubs. We had to pay 10 dollars extra per a person for wireless internet, morning breakfast, and acess to the pool. The wireless internet did not even work in the room! The room was very shabby and the bathroom looked so old as well as the carpet. The hair dryer would turn off every five mins and my own straigtneing iron was having problems working in the outlets. Overall we didnt hate it because we were barely their but we would never stay there again or suggest for anyone to stay there.
Chic and boutique, the newly remodeled and renamed Copley Plaza is a bargain on the beach. – In Short
Originally built in 1939 (hence the name), the old Copley Plaza has been restored to blend high-tech convenience with throwback style. While the minimalist decor and light pastels throughout the 86-room property may feel more at home in trendy South Beach, the style helps breathe art-deco chic into the more relaxed mid-stretch of Miami Beach. Guest rooms are furnished with large TVs, CD players and high-speed Internet. Complimentary Wi-Fi access is available in common areas.

SI's Daily Olympic Briefing: Aug. 6
Story Highlights
Hope Solo and the U.S. face Canada in the women's soccer semis (2:45 p.m. ET)
After edging Lithuania, Team USA takes on Argentina in its final game of pool play
All-around gymnast champ Gabby Douglas goes for gold again today on the bars
LONDON -- The Brits, at least the newspaper writers here, have developed a fondness for the U.S. women's soccer team. The Guardian recently referred to Abby Wambach as "the Alan Shearer of the women's game," and the tabloids owe a debt to Hope Solo after her disclosure about the extracurricular activities in the Olympic Village. (Exclaimed the Daily Mail, in perfect tabloid form: "Hope Solo, the gold-medal winning women's soccer player, has blown the lid on the rumored raging parties and sexual exploits of the world's most respected athletes during the Olympics.")
Sydney Leroux has yet to draw the same Fleet Street interest, but her play at the Olympics speaks for itself. She scored the final goal that sent the United States into today's Olympic semifinals against Canada (2:45 p.m. ET), which defeated Great Britain for its date with the U.S. "As a late-game forward substitute with the instructions to 'just go crazy,' as she puts it, Leroux is one of the few non-starters who can decide a game for the Americans," writes SI.com's Grant Wahl. "And if she happens to do that against Canada, her emotions would be off the charts. Leroux was born in Surrey, B.C., a Vancouver suburb, to Sandi Leroux (a Canadian national softball team player) and Ray Chadwick (an American who pitched briefly for the California Angels)."
For Leroux (who applied for U.S. citizenship shortly before she turned 18) and her teammates, a win over Canada means entry into historic Wembley Stadium for the final on Thursday. The women's semifinal is part of an exciting day in London that includes medals in cycling, equestrian, gymnastics, sailing, shooting, track and field, weightlifting and wrestling.
France and Japan meet at noon at Wembley Stadium in the first women's soccer semifinal. Japan, the defending world champion, defeated Brazil 2-0 in the quarterfinals behind goals from Yuki Ogimi and Shinobu Ohno. France fell to the U.S. in its opening match (4-2) but followed with wins over North Korea, Colombia and Sweden.
Five medals will be awarded in track and field, including the men's 400 (final at 3:30 p.m.), which was upended Saturday when U.S. star and gold-medal favorite LaShawn Merritt pulled up injured in his opening heat. The U.S. does not have a men's 400 finalist for the first time in its Olympic history, ending the U.S. streak of seven consecutive golds in the men's 400. Grenada's Kirani James remains a major contender.
The women's pole vault (2 p.m.) features Yelena Isinbayeva, the glamorous Russian star and two-time champion in the event. U.S. champion Jenn Suhr is a medal contender. Becky Holliday will also compete for the Americans. New Zealand's Valerie Adams is the favorite in the women's shot put final (2:15 p.m.), and SI's pick in the men's 400-meter hurdles (2:45 p.m.) is Javier Culson of Puerto Rico -- but the Americans have contenders including Michael Tinsley, Angelo Taylor and Kerron Clement. Kenya's Milcah Chemos Cheywa is SI's pick to win the women's 3,000 steeplechase (3:05 p.m.). Bridget Franek will compete in the race for the U.S.
The men's discuss throw qualifying rounds (5 a.m.), women's 100 hurdles (5:05 a.m.), women's shot put qualifying rounds (5:45 a.m.), men's 800 opening round (5:50 a.m.) and women's 1,500 opening round (6:45 a.m.) will all be held in the morning session. The night prelims include the women's 200 (2:20 p.m.) and women's 400 hurdles semifinals (3:15 p.m.). In the 200, the last two Olympic races have seen Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica finish ahead of American Allyson Felix.
The U.S. men's basketball team barely escaped against a determined Lithuania squad and now faces another major test against undefeated Argentina (5:15 p.m.), which is littered with NBA players, including Manu Ginobili, Carlos Delfino and Luis Scola. Other games of note include Australia-Russia (4 a.m.) and Spain-Brazil (3 p.m.). Writes SI.com's Ian Thomsen: "The U.S. will close out group play against Argentina, which had to be disappointed to see Lithuania waking up the Americans from their drowsiness. The Argentines must imagine that the U.S. will be seeking to affirm its strengths in anticipation of a knockout game in the quarterfinal -- most likely against Australia -- on Wednesday."
Three gymnastics medals will be awarded, including the men's rings (9 a.m.), women's uneven bars (9:30 a.m.) and men's vault (10:41 p.m.). Sam Mikulak will be the U.S. rep for the men's vault. SI's pick for gold is Hak Seon Yang of South Korea.
Women's all-around champ Gabby Douglas represents the U.S. on the bars; SI's pick for the competition is Russia's Viktoria Komova, with Douglas getting bronze. The final "features the gold, silver and bronze medalists from Thursday's all-around (Douglas, Komova and Aliya Mustafina) as well as the defending Olympic champion, He Kexin," writes SI.com's Nick Zaccardi. "None of the aforementioned qualified on top, though. That distinction went to Beth Tweddle, Great Britain's best hope for its first women's gymnastics medal since the 1928 team competition."
Jacob Gibb and Seth Rosenthal are the lone American team remaining in the beach volleyball competition. They meet Martins Plavins and Janis Smedins of Latvia in quarterfinal action at 2 p.m.
The 17-year-old American boxer Claressa Shields, recently profiled by SI.com, fights today in the quarterfinals of the women's middleweight competition (bouts start at 8:30 a.m.). Women's flyweight and lightweight quarterfinals will also take place, as will the men's lightweight, middleweight, and super-heavyweight quarterfinals.
The U.S. men's water polo team has a difficult match against three-time defending Olympic champ Hungary (10:30 a.m.), the most dominant water polo program in the history of Olympic play. But Hungary has struggled in this tournament, beating Romania and Great Britain but losing a tight game to Serbia and Montenegro.
The men's 3-meter springboard preliminary in diving will be held, with China's He Chong and Qin Kai as the big favorites. Chris Colwill and Troy Dumais will compete for the U.S.
Men's handball finishes preliminary play at the Copper Box with six matches, including France-Sweden (4:15 p.m.).
Rowing will hand out medals in the men's sprint finals (12:43 p.m., 1:03 p.m., and 1:35 p.m.).
Women's field hockey has six matches, including U.S.-South Africa (5:45 a.m.). The U.S. is 2-2 in the competition, while South Africa has not won a match.
Sailing will award medals in the Laser Radial Women's Medal race (8 a.m.), where SI picks Marit Bouwmeester of the Netherlands, and the Laser Men's Race (9 a.m.), in which SI chooses Australia's Tom Slingsby.
There are two shooting medals today: the men's 50-meter rifle (8:45 a.m.) and men's trap finals (11 a.m.).
Synchronized swimming features the prelims in the duet free routine (10 a.m.).
Table tennis has one women's team semifinal, China-Korea (5 a.m.), and men's team semifinals action, including China-Hong Kong (9:30 a.m.)
The men's volleyball competition continues with the U.S. playing winless Tunisia (3 p.m.). The Americans are tied with Russia for the top spot in Group B.
Weightlifting will award a medal in the men's 105kg (231 pounds) competition (2 p.m.).
Medals will also be awarded in the men's 60kg (132 pounds), 84kg (185), and 120kg (264.5) weight classes of Greco-Roman wrestling. It's an all-day event starting at 8 a.m. American Dremiel Byers is a medal contender in the 120kg.
Action continues at Eton Dorney with kayak and canoe 500- and 1,000-meter heats and semifinals.
Equestrian will hand out a medal in the team jumping competition (9 a.m.).
"For me, it's been a great month. I won Wimbledon, became world No. 1 again, and I got silver. Don't feel too bad for me." -- Roger Federer, following his straight-sets loss to Andy Murray in the men's gold medal tennis match.

"I think having the whole week off actually hurt us this week," Sparks volleyball coach Tarina Elliott said. "The girls just weren't into it. We also didn't have a JV game tonight. It was just varsity. With Homecoming and everything else going on, I don't know if the girls just weren't in it or what happened."
Krystal Parker led the way with seven blocks, five assists and three kills in the losing cause.
Sparks fell to 1-10 overall and 0-2 in league. The Railroaders will take on North Tahoe and Whittell next week.

Steven Notley have now come forward with an atlas that traces the course of Near Eastern history from the Chalcolithic Age (c. 3500 BCE) to the defeat of Bar Kochba's fighters and their retreat to the caves east of En-gedi. The Atlas provides 300 state-of-the-art maps to show as far as possible in terms of modern knowledge the changes and historical processes that affected the lands of the Bible. Included are all historical and biblical episodes that can be depicted cartographically—migrations and settlements, battles and conquests, the location and detailed movement of individual historical and biblical characters. In addition, The Sacred Bridge—Carta's Atlas of the Biblical World draws on information from all known ancient sources-Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek, Roman and others—to reveal trade routes, economic determinants, and the development of international relations. Maps, many of them never before attempted, are presented chronologically, with extensive interpretive texts alongside. Finds, tools, artifacts, inscriptions and other documents from each period also appear in conjunction with the maps.
The ultimate usefulness of any complex reference work depends on its index and its bibliography, and The Sacred Bridge—Carta's Atlas of the Biblical World provides everything that could be asked for in the way of organized assistance to the reader. Each person or site can be located. An invaluable chronological table correlates historical activity in the East (Mesopotamia and Anatolia), the southern Levant, Egypt, and the Greco-Roman West from 2800 BCE to the second century CE. The superb reference sections contain every article, book or document consulted.
New Testament geography, especially that of the Gospels, is interpreted in the light of the new understanding resulting from such discoveries as the Dead Sea Scrolls (e.g., the wider use of Hebrew as a social and religious vehicle than heretofore acknowledged). These refreshing insights serve to define geographical terms used in the New Testament and trace their origin. Documents are presented in their original languages and transcribed or translated into English. A special feature of this atlas is the insertion of these texts and their meaning within the narrative proper.

This atlas is a pleasure to read. I was using it for the maps while reading 1 Maccabees and ended up reading all of the text in the atlas as well. It's very well written, which is particularly impressive since it's presenting a broad range of scholarly research. There are many references to primary and secondary literature, all appropriately hyperlinked in Accordance when possible, and relevant quotations are often included directly in the atlas itself. I expected this atlas to be helpful; I didn't know it would be so enjoyable. Highly recommended.
