Pros None that I can think of as it takes plain lousey pictures.
Cons Poor quality pictures in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Recommended it? No

I know that many of the know-it-alls here at Epinions want the stock list of technical details that can be found at the manufacturers website and if they are not in the review they they give the review a low score.  Sad, truly sad.

This is the single worst Sony product I have ever owned. I'm... Read full review »

Pros High quality image, versatile, easy-to-use  
Cons None so far
Recommended it? Yes

There's another fella reviewing this camera who absolutely hates it. I'm convinced he's either a real pro, or got a lemon.

I've held off on getting a digital camera for years, until last month when I got the Cybershot. That being said, I have 7 years of experience shooting digital video on... Read full review »

I recently bought the new 12 MP Sony Cybershot or the W290 DSC as I keep calling it. And really for the money it is an excellent camera. It comes packed with features and from what I thought it took pretty nice pictures. 

The camera is capable of zooming... Read full review »

Cons Absolutely Nothing at all!
Recommended it? Yes

This is the BEST Sony point and shoot camera I've ever owned! I've had 3 so far. The Sony DSC-W290 takes awesome pictures. It's so automatic, the camera takes all the guess work out of getting great photos. I've taken indoor and outdoor photos, they come out terrific everytime! I also love the HD... Read full review »

Excellent camera! 720 HD video, big screen

byshocontinental Apr 8, 2010
Helpful? 1 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Quality Construction, Great Design, Lightweight
Cons None submitted
Recommended it? Yes

Great Camera! I purchased to take photos and HD videos instead of carrying around my bulky SLR and HD camcorder if I felt like travelling light. The Video is spectacular from such a small package, it does have vertical smear (purple) as it's a CCD sensor, and sometimes has trouble focusing in high... Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Excellent Picture Quality, Lightweight
Cons Short Battery Life
Recommended it? Yes

I have had this camera since Christmas and I love it!  I can't figure out how people are getting bad pictures with this -- maybe they are not still enough or are taking photos in conditions that most cameras would not perform well.  For me, this camera has been a dream and takes sharp...

One of the things that I recently started using more often is the image selection in the settings. This saves a bit of time when going to edit and print your pictures. Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Excellent Picture Quality, Lightweight
Cons Bad in Low Light, Shutter Lag
Recommended it? Yes

We use this as our everyday camera to capture the kids growing up, and have been happy with the pictures we've gotten from it. It's lightweight and compact, making it perfect to carry in the purse for impromptu photo sessions at the park.

It's not the fastest camera, so occasionally... Read full review »

We bought this camera, because our old sony finally died after 2 kids and 7 years.  The only bad thing I can think about this camera is that when your recording a movie, you cannot zoom.  Other than that it's the perfect camera for our on the road family.  It has HD recording on your...
