    Hey everyone,
    First-time poster and...erm...third-time reader :)

    I'm heading to the USA in late March and am looking to buy a nice camera for the trip. I was hoping that ye could answer a few questions that I have!

    The camera I am looking to buy is the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H9 8MP 15x zoom.

    1) What does everyone think about this camera? I have found very few reviews online.
    2) The lowest price I have seen in the high street is 489, and 379 online. Would I buy it cheaper in the USA?
    3) If I bought it in the USA, would I have to declare it and pay extra (or anything like that) at customs?
    4) Anything else worth knowing?

    Thanks,
    Tony

    Firstly, I hope you enjoy your trip to the States.

    1) I recently purchased this camera on my way home from Australia. I'm only a beginner in the world of photography but I think its a really nice camera. Has everything I could hope for without spending to get a DSLR.

    2) Not sure about USA as I haven't been there since I was seven but I got the camera in Taipei for €351 with a 4GB memory card included. With the exchange rate how it is, I'd say you'd more than likely get it cheaper over there but somebody else would have to confirm that.

    3) I don't think so. I didn't have to declare any of the stuff I have brought home from abroad.

    Hopefully that helps you out a bit. :)

    €351 with a 4GB memory card included is a great deal as far as I can see. Not having too much luck with finding it cheaper than that!
