Product Description

Taking great pictures is easier than ever with the DSC-W290 Cyber-shot digital camera. The iAuto mode adjusts the settings for you based on your surroundings, so all you have to do is press a button to capture shots with the right amount of light and beautiful clarity. And with the ingenious Face Detection mode, faces in your photos will look more realistic with natural skin tones and sharp details. Tired of blurry photos? Optical SteadyShot image stabilization minimizes blur for better results. You can also connect your camera to a compatible HDTV and show off your shots on the big screen in high definition.

FEATURES:
  • 12.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Image Sensor - A powerful 12.1 megapixel 1/2.3” Super HAD CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail.

  • Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens with 5x Optical Zoom - The professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 5x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for great outdoor, sports, and travel photos.
  • Wide angle lens - A 28mm wide angle lens shows more of the scene you're shooting, helping you capture more complete images when shooting indoor group portraits, expansive landscapes, or architectural scenes.

5 out of 5 stars The best Point & Shoot camera in it's category   January 7, 2010

This is truly an amazing product. It takes great pictures and the camera comes with some very easy to use useful features. I like "Smiley Button" feature the best. Click the smiley button and let the camera go to work. The camera will take a picture whenever anyone in the frame smiles. You don't have to worry if you got the shot at the right moment. The camera also takes 720P HD Video. The only feature missing is availability of zoom in the video mode. Overall, I love this camera.


5 out of 5 stars Best Mid Range camera   January 23, 2010

We have used our Sony Cyber-Shot camber for about a month. We have had no issues. Like any other electronic gadget, it takes time to know the controls and use it. This camera has one of the best lenses and takes better pictures than a friends 15 Megapixel camera. We love the Stabilization, it works as stated. My mother was able to use this camera and take perfect shots. Previously, when using an older camera without the stabilization, all her pictures were blurry. I would recommend this to anyone who wants quality photos and doesn't mind the extra weight (which is not really an issue with us).

This camera replaced an older Cyber-shot. I checked out lots of other sites and reviews of cameras before purchasing this one. And I am glad I did. It takes excellent photos, and is lightweight/small enough to carry in a pocket. Love the bronze color too!
