Sony have just announced their new generation of Cyber-shot cameras: H7 and H9. Both cameras have almost the same features: 8.1 megapixels, 15x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom, full HD 1080 output for displaying still images on a HD TV. The differences between the H7 and H9 are the LCD display, weight and night shooting mode in complete darkness for H9. The cameras are equipped with the best technology. The Carl Zeiss lens are offering exceptional picture clarity and quality. Sony used the anti-blur technology, to reduce the risk of hand shake blurring your pictures, especially during difficult low light conditions without flash.

The H9 model has a large tilting 3″ LCD screen, in comparison with H7 which features only 2.5″ LCD. As I was saying about the differences, the H9 has an infrared mode for night shooting. Another important feature is the Face Detection technology, which allows to the cameras to recognize and tracks up to eight human faces in any scene, automatically optimizing focus, exposure and flash. Their users will obtain superlative image quality with Sony’s unique BIONZ imaging processor.

“Both the H7 and H9 are fantastic additions to the range. We’ve recently conducted research showing that 72% of people owning a similar camera see the optical zoom capabilities as the most important feature. With 15x optical zoom capability, these two cameras are at the leading edge of the high zoom market and will give great results for people looking for creative & versatile images. Packed with the latest technology, these cameras don’t compromise on quality and reliving your shots back in full HD at home completes the picture,” said a Sony spokesman.

The new Cyber-shot cameras will ship from April for about $480 the H9 and respectively, $400 the H7 model. The VMC-HD1 high-definition component cable will be available for an additional $40.
