Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 Gordon Laing, May 2007


Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9






 
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9. This demonstrates the H9's coverage, image stabilisation, nightshot capability, flip-out screen and menus.

There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.
