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...
