Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this camera because the technical specs appealed to me. But when I read all the critical comments I was beginning to feel I made a mistake.
Some critics claim that certain features were missing in the H9 that were listed in the specs before the camera was released. No doubt, that's not cool. Also, I haven't figured out how to set ISO levels. Probably I never will because the H9 insists of doing it for me. And then there is the lack of RAW storage.
I have all these features in other cameras I own. And although it's nice to know it's all there if I want it, I have to admit I don't use these features all that often.
As other bridge cameras with advanced features, the H9 caught the attention of many people in the upper segments of the market who then were dismayed to discover its technical parameters.
On the other end of the spectrum, the H9 may be a bit too sophisticated for the point-and-shoot crowd to take full advantage of what it is capable of. The fact that the manual is almost unreadable doesn't help.
Now to the good part:
1. I haven't had that much fun with a camera in a long time. The H9 is light enough to accompany me almost everywhere, and I get a lot of terrific shots that I used to miss out on because I didn't feel like dragging around my heavy equipment. Because it is a super zoom, no shots are lost because I have to change lenses.
2. The macro function is nothing short of sensational.
3. I have been able to take amazing shots with the lens all the way out to 480.
4. The H9 is fast - no shutter delay and super fast storage of images
5. No matter what I throw at the H9, it seems to handle it beautifully. I am sure I will figure out its limitations
as I go along and learn to respect them. The more I get to know this camera, the more it grows on me.
6. The large semi-flexible screen is a real plus, particularly for candid shots.
Well, as this generation of super zooms go, the plusses more than outweigh the minuses.
