Worst Sony Camera I have ever Owned.

Date of Review:  May 17, 2009
The Bottom Line: AVOID IT.  Very poor quality pictures.  I have the W170 and it is worlds better in every regard. Sad, always have loved Sony.
Review: 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.

Excellent point-and-shoot

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2009
The Bottom Line: For the money I paid, I couldn't be happier.
Review: 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...

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...

I just bought the w290 DSC and it is great!!

Date of Review:  Jul 30, 2009
The Bottom Line: Go to an Electronics store and compare picture Types VS Price you are the only one that will know if this is the right camera for you.
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...

Great camear for the price

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2009
Review: 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...

Awesome

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2009
Review: 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!

Review: 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...

Good Not Great Camera

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2009
Review: 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...
