I Love It!!!!!

I have only owned my Sony H9 for 1 month but I really do like it. I used to have a Fuji finepix 4 megapixel and it was good but this one is much better. I love the super close zoom because I take a lot of photos of my daughter in ballet and am looking forward to being able to zoom in on her and it does so much better with action shots than my fuji did. The big LCD screen is great and I put a screen protector on it and it still looks great and I don't' have to worry about scratches. I have not tried the video mode yet but my other camera had no sound but did video so I am sure I will love that to. I love that you can do a slideshow of your photos on the screen with music. That is really cool!!! The only thing that I did not like is the dial on the back is a little sensitive. You have to push it on the exact spot or it will not do what you are wanting it to, ie: deleting photos. That is no big deal to me. It takes great photos and I am not worried about using the manuel controls. I have a card reader hooked to my computer so I can put any card in it and see my photos without hooking the camera up to the computer. I don't think its cheaply designed or that it feels cheap. I don't want a heavy bulky camera that I hate taking around. I think Sony is an excellent product and that you will love this camera.
