Are you planning to buy DSC H7?

If you are looking for a good camera to take great pictures at a lower price than a DSLR, this is one of the best options. I just bought H7 a month ago and I recommend it to everyone. Image quality is excellent, the 15x optical zoom works great and the manual controls are great for this type of camera. Overall I think the Sony H7 is a steal for the price (I paid $303 for the Revain). I bought it to learn a little photography and I think it was a good choice. - Battery life is pretty good. - The

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • High price

Not as good as the H1 or H2 but still decent

I've had the H1 and H2 and they are superior to this camera. I use the H7 for work and bought it to replace the H2 when the H2's trigger stopped working. I have the H1 as my personal camera and it is by far the best quality. My main concerns with the H7 are that it fires the flash when it's not needed, the optics aren't as good as the previous two models, and the camera feels "cheaper" in comparison. When I photographed with other cameras, I got amazing shots. Like my dog's whiskers in perfectโ€ฆ

Great camera, very fast shots.

Impressions from the box: Perfect aiming and shooting. There might be downsides for serious digital photographers, but for semi-advanced idiots like me, this is the high point. Biggest improvement for me: There is no "shoot the head, get the tail" lag in sport mode. The 15x zoom is great. The video mode works smoothly and looks good. I saw a long and harsh review of the H9 on Revain's website, so I was a bit skeptical. Those who are afraid of expanded color and really need 8 megapixels shouldโ€ฆ

Poor quality compared to F-828

I had a Sony F-828 and made the mistake of selling it to buy h7. I thought the f-828 was an 8.0 megapixel camera and the h7 was an 8.1 megapixel camera and I thought I had a slightly better camera, god how wrong I was! Image quality is not as sharp compared to the old 828. This means that the processor in the h7 is not as good as in my old camera. So if you are looking for ultra-sharp details, h7 is not for you! When I bought the camera, I also bought a 1.7x telephoto lens and a 0.75xโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • It's ok

Sony DSC-H7: Camera and photo

This camera has served me well, but not enough. I can say that he takes incredible pictures, but only when he makes up his mind. I had great difficulty taking pictures in low light and taking pictures of moving subjects. Many times I've missed great shots because this camera spends so much time focusing and refocusing that it ends up being a blurry image after I frantically press the button. To my dismay, the button recently broke. I've had cameras before and have never had a shutter snap. Iโ€ฆ

Excellent bridge camera

I did a lot of research on bridge cameras (digital cameras between point and shoot and SLR cameras) and finally settled on the H7 for two reasons. First, I had a 3.2 megapixel Sony camera before. I was happy with how it worked and found the camera menu easy to use. I wanted to upgrade to more megapixels and more optical zoom but still have an "easy to use" camera. Second, Sony cameras had ALL the features I wanted (continuous shooting, face detection, high ISO, etc.), while other brands tendedโ€ฆ
