Sony DSC-H9 / DSC-H7 announcement clippings

Sony's 8-megapixel DSC-H9 and DSC-H7 models feature a powerful Carl Zeiss 15x optical zoom lens, and Sony's new advanced sports shooting mode, which combines high shutter speed shooting and intelligent continuous auto-focusing. The cameras can quickly focus on fast-moving subjects by predicting where those subjects will be in the frame and can shoot up to 1/4000 of a second. The H9 camera takes fast-action shooting a step further. It sports a 3-inch, flip-up LCD screen so that you can shoot comfortably from nearly any position. You can hold the camera low to the ground for eye-level shots of kids, without having to contort yourself or crawl on the ground, or hold it high for shots of the crowd. The H7 camera has a non-articulating but large 2.5-inch LCD screen for easy sharing and viewing.
