Worst Sony Camera I have ever Owned.

Date of Review:  May 17, 2009

Great Point and Shoot camera

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2009
Review: 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...
