Great Camera but….
This cam takes amazing pics. I bought this camera to take with me on a trip overseas. I ordered it early enough so that I could get it and learn it before the trip.

This is an excellent product. The picture quality is awesome. My daughter has a W300 and the W290 is just as good. i would highly recommend this item.

Faulty – returned for service after 2 months
The first two months with this camera was great. Easy menus, good battery life, simple point and shoot settings, good in all kinds of light.

Good at some things, awful at others
We loved our old Sony camera, a 3.2MP Cyber-shot DSC-P52, so we were excited to get hold of this new model.

Great video, okay pictures
I bought this camera because of the 720p video. The video quality is really quite good. The picture quality was not as great as I expected.

Sony DSC-W290 Review
This is my fourth digital camera and I researched many point and shoot cameras before choosing the W290 and, after one month of use, I think I made the correct decision.

A top of the line camera with great features!
The camera is great! The picture quality is stellar. It is easy to use too! Unlike most other cameras, the on board menu options give you a description of what every option…
