I do not recommend this.

I had a Sony Cybershot W50 and it took great pictures. Many of my friends were surprised to learn that I used a soap box to take photos of my first baby because the photos were very clear and well focused (no flash on the baby). Unfortunately, the W50 died due to mishandling. . I thought try another Sony. But to my greatest surprise and disappointment, the W290 takes much worse photos than the W50. Photos are usually grainy and always look a bit blurry! After using it for more than half a year,

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • This is driving me crazy

I didn't like how Sony changed the buttons on the back.

Bought this camera to replace the W290 I bought from Target at full price (about $240) 5 years ago. My camera was still taking pictures, but a blurry white circle appeared in the center of my photos. I took it to a local camera repair shop and they couldn't fix it. He told me to send it back to Sony. Sony wanted to charge $91 for repairs. I bought this replacement for $8 more. Why did I buy the same model? I looked and looked and in the end I decided 1. I didn't want to pay more and 2. I didn't

Pros
  • Nice item
Cons
  • A little shabby

Amazing point and shoot digital camera camera

Bought this camera for my daughter after reading a number of reviews and was very pleasantly surprised . I've owned several DSLRs, from early generations to interchangeable lens DSLRs, and it meets or exceeds almost all of them (DSLRs are slightly better for on-the-go photography). The video quality is so amazing that we have stopped using our camcorder and use it almost exclusively. The sound quality with the built-in microphone is quite good. We recorded our daughter's concert and the audio…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine

This is a great camera!

This is my fourth digital camera and this Sony W290 is by far the best I have ever owned. It starts up quickly, processes shots quickly, and charges the flash faster than any other camera I've used before. The quality of the pictures just surprised me. I have 2 35mm SLRs that I use when I want to be artistic and am very picky about pictures. What surprises me the most about this camera is that the intelligent picture settings are phenomenal. I've taken photos directly in sunlight, sunsets, dark

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models

GREAT little camera!

First of all I have had many cameras in my life including 35mm "old" film. I have 3 Sony digital cameras and each one is technically "ahead of its time". This one is no different. I'm not a photo lover, but I recognize good photos when I see them. I went for the small size that fits in my front pocket rather than a bulky large and powerful camera. But I was also surprised. This is a powerful camera! Every feature of this camera is AMAZING. With the high resolution, you can edit photos, crop and

Pros
  • Availability

  • High price

The camera that will make you look like an expert!

I purchased this camera after a recent trip to Disney World - my only regret is that I didn't purchase it BEFORE the trip. We were traveling with friends who had just bought this exact Cyber-shot. Almost all of the footage captured with the DSC-W290 and HD video was stunning. The pictures I took with my 5.0 megapixel were not comparable. After returning from Disney and realizing the potential of this camera, I immediately ordered a Revain DSC-W290 for myself. The "first" DSC-W290 arrived with…
