I have an old Sony H9 but I don't use it for anything more important than snapshots on motorcycle trips. The only time I use it then is because it's a lot more compact than my DSLR gear. The image quality is rather lousy, the control I have over the camera is virtually non-existent, and I'd never even consider it for anything I wanted to look good.
no. But it would help if you mentioned which model they range from a hundred dollar semi cheap point and shoot to a six hundred dollar pretty good camera.
