Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Black): Customer Reviews & Product Details

pros

quick cam, cheap, great functions, video hd 720, good perfomance, great batery, great lcd, awesome bang for the buck, no rivals

slim, good looking, great overall

m2 with adapter and micro sd with adapter works fine

flash is great for night pics, they look very nice

cons
image quality sucks, is not the best at all, even at great light the pics are kinda blurry, not great detail

stupid sony pro duo sticks, are expensive and sucks

video hd is not compatible with dxva

only mp4 video is supported, old sony cam recorded mpeg2, it would be nice having options

sony pro duo clones do not work

taking more than 5 pics in burts mode creates a great lag, but is because of the memory speed, it should have more ram and internal memory for cache

The only downside that I have found so far is that you have to take the battery out to charge it. It comes with this little box that the battery pops into, then that plugs into the wall. Just a little different. Also you cannot zoom while you are taking a video. But the ease of use and picture quality are very very easy. Takes quick pictures in succession, with very clear pics. The image stabilizer seems to work well. Especially for me.

Wow, finally i got this excelent camera from SONY. The 5x optical zoom and flash are awesome. All my photos are very clear. My wife was very happy and decided to keep as a christmas present. All was easy friendly to use and in 5 minutes i was taking all my shots with smile and face detection: all happy faces and perfect shots. I am totally convinced of the great quality of this camera.

Just got this camera for my b-day and I'm very happy with it! Super easy to use - I don't want all the bells and whistles - I just wanted something that would take clear pictures easily. It is replacing a camera I could never get to work properly with terrible directions. If you want a camera that's easy to use, has clear directions and takes nice pictures and video - this is the one for you!

this camera takes excellent HD videos and it can take photos at 16:9, what makes it ideal for wide screens displays
