Big in zoom, small in size.
Snap incredible close-ups of distant subjects with this compact, easy-to-use Cyber-shot® H90 camera. With stabilized 16x optical zoom, get up close to capture beautifully blur-free sports, wildlife and travel photos plus HD 720p video. Easily compose shots and view footage on the big, bright 3.0" LCD, or try your hand at creative effects like Toy Camera and Pop Color that transform ordinary pictures into works of art.

16x Optical Zoom
Zoom in close for great travel, sports and wildlife photos. With 16x optical zoom, you can capture distant details without moving an inch for incredible close-ups. Just slip this easy-to-carry compact camera in your pocket or purse and you're ready to go.

Make HD Movie Magic
Shoot and share HD movies with ease (records in 29-minute segments). In 720p MP4 movie mode, you can record 1280 x 720 HD movies at 30 fps for high-quality clips perfect for viewing and editing on your Mac® or PC, or uploading to sites like Facebook® and YouTube™ (internet-connected computer required).

Panoramic Photos up to 360°
Use Sweep Panorama™ mode to get breathtaking panoramic shots of up to 360 degrees. Capture sprawling landscapes and captivating cityscapes by pressing the shutter and sweeping the camera in the desired direction. The camera handles the rest, shooting multiple images at high speeds then seamlessly stitching them together to create one continuous image.

Gorgeous Image Quality
With a 16.1MP Super HAD™ CCD image sensor, capture high-resolution images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. More pixels means you can enlarge, zoom in and crop your photos without losing detail, plus create photo-quality prints of up to 13" x 19".

Say Goodbye to Blur
Don't let a not-so-steady hand prevent you from capturing the moment. Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for camera shake by countering camera movements in both horizontal and vertical directions. Get sharp, blur-free footage in otherwise unsteady situations, like shooting video while walking.

Effortless Effects
Let your imagination run free with a variety of creative effects. Try Toy Camera for photos with a nostalgic, lo-fi feel. The Pop Color effect allows you to transform ordinary portraits and landscapes into colorful, high-contrast works of art. Or make your focal point pop with Partial Color effect. It's fun and easy.
