'The DSC-H9 achieves a good balance between the hardware controls and the software menus; providing complete functionality without overly complicating or cluttering up either.'
'fans of large prints, 100% on-screen viewing, or high ISO shooting should probably steer clear of the DSC-H9'
'The handling of the H9 is very pleasant; you can grip it much like an SLR, left hand cradling the lens'
'The key controls are easy to get to, with sensitivity, white balance and image size/quality accessed directly from the mode dial.'
'the Coolpix 8800 forces you to take the additional step of setting the camera to one of its continuous shooting modes--or (if you don't switch to continuous mode) to press the shutter three to five times for a complete bracket.'
'the ISO 400 image is quite noisy, with a lot of missing detail.'
'The Nikon Coolpix 8800 has very impressive specifications.'
