Heading the worryingly long list of downsides though is image quality. Set the H9 at 80 or 100 ISO and you can take some great-looking photos, but at 200 ISO and above, smearing from noise reduction really begins to take its toll. We’ve seen watercolour effects on all Super-zooms, and the H9 is sadly no exception.

What’s really upsetting though – and quite inexplicable – is the lack of options Sony gives you to do anything about it. There’s no noise reduction settings nor any option to record in RAW, and to make matters worse, the fixed JPEG compression ratio is arguably too high. Why they don’t let you adjust it on what’s surely an enthusiast’s camera is beyond us.

The lens also suffers from coloured fringing throughout its optical range even when the aperture’s closed. The battery lifespan ain’t great either, but we’re willing to forgive Sony on that one considering the stabilisation, big screen and small, light body.
ce surpriza..... Deci in concluzie ,rateaza exact la criteriul PRIMORDIAL al oricarui aparat foto : calitatea imagini. daca insa te intereseaza doar marketing-gadgets-urile e "foaaaarte tare frate!"
