Excellent camera! 720 HD video, big screen
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 »
Slim camera with great extra features!
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... Read full review »
Great On-The-Go Camera that addapts well for many shooting needs.
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 »
Great camera, especially for a novice!
I purchased this camera so I could document a trip to Europe. I didn't want to spend too much money on a camera but wanted great picture quality. I definelty found that with the Cybershot W290. It took incredible pictures and was quite simple to use. My only complaint... Read full review »
Great camera for travel and outdoor activities
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...

Great Camera for Family Use
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... Read full review »

Anniversary Gift
I do like this camera a lot and I have gotten some great pictures, but I have also missed out on some great pictures because it took so long for this camera to actually take the picture. It gets frustrating when I want to capture a great photo of my 2 years old or puppy who are always on the go,... Read full review »

By far the best Digital Camera I have ever owened!
The Sony Cyber-shot W290 Digital Camera is by far one of, if not the best Digital Cameras on the market! I was having trouble getting good pictures up on E-bay to use for discription for my products! I finally went out & spent a lttle bit of money and bought this camera. I was very happy when I got... Read full review »
Good Not Great Camera
Excellent features for the price, but very soft looking pictures when viewed at full size. If you don't view your pictures in full size then they look absolutely fine and you won't notice a thing, but once you blow them up to original you will. My old Canon SD750 took much sharper looking pictures... Read full review »
Sony Cyber-shot W290 12.1 megapixels
I got this camera a few months ago for my birthday. We have had several sony cameras before so we liked that some of the features are the same, so I could use it without alot of studying the manuel. The reason I wanted this camera is for the size. I wanted a small good camera that was small... Read full review »

Great camear for the price
This is a great point and shoot camera. It has a large clear LCD screen. The menu options are easy to use and intuitive. The flash is strong and can take nice photos in low light.
The design is sleek and compact. The lens extends out when you turn on the camera and when zooming. The 5x...

Awesome
I love the slender design. Small enought to carry in my purse. I figure, what's the point of having a camera if you don't have it with you.
Very durable!

Excellent point-and-shoot
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...

Great Point and Shoot camera
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 »
Worst Sony Camera I have ever Owned.
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...
