Sony Cybershot H7 Details

Editors' Comments

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.
