Here is what people are saying about the Sony Cybershot DSC-W290 12.1MP Digital Camera w/ 5x IS Zoom (DSC-W290/B, Black)
3 Star Rating  "Out-of-focus when filming"2009-08-10
- Reviewed By phcurci
I don't know if it happens to everybody but when I'm filming and move the camera or just pan film just a bit, it goes out of focus. Make sure this doesnt' happen to you. Has it happened to any of you?

- Reviewed By User: A21DGQ4JGXMDD0
Has very good pic quality and extremely easy to use.

It is not capturing moving objects pics. I tried the Int' mode and Easy mode.

Other feature are very good.
 
3 Star Rating  "Sony DSC-W290 Nice camera But dont expect miracle"2009-10-25
- Reviewed By User: A3IW027RWMMOVU
I had this camera for 10 days and i tried many (if not all)of its features. The way sony corp. advertise about this camera, i expect better than average photos. I have a 4-5 years sony DSC-W1 and the pictures that this camera take is as good as DSC-W290. you see, i dont care about smile or face detector. What i really care is a camera that take an excellent picture then the gadgets comes in second. If you are looking for an average nice camera then buy this one. If you are thinking, you are getting the best compact camera in the world, then dont even bother.
 
5 Star Rating  "Excellent feature packed smart camera"2009-10-05
- Reviewed By User: A21HS3T32IHHGY
The DSC-W290 is a amazing little camera. Its feature packed and easy to use.To be honest, I needed a camera just to point and shoot and take excellent pictures whether day or night. The DSC-W290 fits the bill perfectly with its Intelligent mode which identifies all different shooting modes and environments automatically, day or night and adjusts appropriately. The LCD screen at the back is large and clear. The picture quality is amazing with crisp pictures and life-like rich colors. Even more amazing is the high-def video in 780i, total treat to watch on the big screen. The shoot-when-smiling mode actually works great too.

Another little thing - On the second day I bought the camera, I dropped it while it was still turned on. It fell hard, lens first on a rock and went bouncing. The impact bent the cylinder holding the lens. Once retracted it was stuck for good with the motor whirring trying to extend out the lens anytime I turned it on. It also suffered some dings and scratches. Even though it was my fault and the warranty was void as it was an accident, Sony service center repaired it for free and shipped it back within a week. I have to commend Sony on the quality and timeliness of the service provided. The camera worked like new and I couldn't be happier with this product and Sony's service.

Cons - The battery life is just around an hour or probably less when you are in video mode quite a bit. But you should be able to get a replacement battery for about $15. There is no zoom while in video mode.

A good add-on would be a 8Gb Sandisk memory card and a replacement battery to extend your shooting experience.

 
4 Star Rating  "Great But No Viewfinder"2009-10-02
- Reviewed By robcyr
Image display is fine, but I prefer a viewfinder to compose my shots. Sony has decided to eliminate the veiw finder, perhaps because amateurs like to hold the camera in front of them and check the display to see what they will get from the shot. Am I getting old school?
 
2 Star Rating  "easy to get a messy image in-doors"2009-09-16
- Reviewed By User: A263G290KQO6FK
For out-doors picture, with good light conditions, the pictures are great and sharp. Amazing video capture.
But I was really disappointed when taking pictures in-doors. In its Intelligent Auto Ajust Mode, the camera usually picks a high iso configuration when there's not a bright light inside a room (and I mean really bright), resulting in a bad quality picture. Looks like you're using a 0,5 Megapixel camera.
Too bad I didn't know much about the ISO settings before buying this camera. High ISO yields bad quality pictures, because the idea is to obtain a brighter picture in low light conditions. I wish I had bought a lower ISO camera.
