W290-Cyber Shot

Ownership period: less than 3 months.

Since I bought it, I have been in love with it. I use it daily. So here is the conclusion

THE GOOD: Terrific design, interface, and controls; wide-angle, 5x zoom lens; excellent price-to-feature ratio.

THE BAD: No optical zoom while recording video; soft photos.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.

This is the best camera I have every owned, though unfortunately I losted :( . I have always preferred Sony because it produces excelllent products! The pictures are crisp and clear;the video is beautiful when taken from the device. One of the features that I personally liked is the Smile Shutter, when you press the smile detection button you can set the camera down frame out a shot and when the subject of the picture smiles it automatically takes the picture so....you wont have to go in a rush with your friends to take a picture!

Very sharp and high resolution photos for a nice pocket-sized camera. Sony makes very high quality products. A load of features that can be used for editing photos on the camera itself is nice, and keeps it up to par with what home consumer cameras' are now offering.

Sony Camera

This is the best camera I have every owned. I will never own anything other than a sony from now on. The pictures are crisp and clear the video is beautiful when taken from the device. I had the 7 and the 10.1 megapixel from the same line of device and this camera came along with such a good deal I couldn't help myself so I bought it and im so glad I did. One of the greatest features is the smile detection, when you press the smile detection button you can set the camera down frame out a shot and when the subject of the picture smiles it automatically takes the picture no more rushing to get in a group shot and setup with 5 or 10 seconds like a traditional timer feature (which this camera also has if you like it)

Overall rating

Pros
great quality pictures
smile detection feature
full hd video capture with built in mic

Cons
