I purchased this camera after a lot of research & internal debate. My daughter dropped my other point & shoot into our pool & I was in dire need of a new one. I wouldn't call myself a pro but I do take candids & head shots of some friends & family members & have had some training. I already have 2 DSL cameras & they are SO bulky that I never want to drag them with me. I chose this camera based on many reviews on the wonderful sales people at Ritz camera. It features 12.1 megapix (which you probley will never need taking snapshots) & the feature I love - the HD video. Picture quality is very good - the photos pop out at you - bright life-like colors. This camera also has a "smile" button where if pressed it will automatically snap pictures for you if it detects a smile - a wonderful feature if you have small children. There are only a couple flaws I have come up with so far - in video mode it tends to lose focus if your subject is moving around ie: swimming or running. The flash isn't all that powerful either but in light of the fact it is so small - it would easily fit in your pocket, these are a couple things I can live with. Will it be my only point & shoot? I doubt it - I already have my eye on the panasonic FZ28 & the canon S1 - but for now it fits the bill. Not to mention my husband isn't afraid to pick it up. Would I recommend this - yes, in a heart beat - happy shooting!Read full review
Good machine, dont regret to buy it. I love your design, light, very beautiful, with the front pattern with striated (wue pretty easily but retains dirt, because the surface is not flat -but compensates for beauty). Takes photographs of very good quality, ... and videos in HD quality is impressive, I was amazed with the quality of the recorded video. The only negative, is the recording of video, you can not use the zoom during filming - very bad for Sony - I was furious! ... and, only you can make video recordings of over 30min for about! ... if you want to make a film that will use the program PMB, that is included in the package w290, and add the videos of several 30mm and saves them all together - but it is offset by the recording quality. Some people have been disappointed with this machine in general use, but I do not agree, perhaps because they think the w290 is a PROFESSIONAL machine and have a professional expectations - but the w290 is not a machine for professional use. Against another, is the battery life, very poor - I advise you to buy another extra battery. In conclusion: on a scale from 1 to 5, I give 4 values. If I could go back ... I buy a Sony w290 again.Read full review
Decided to buy this camera for my first 10 day trip to Italy. All of the various options for taking pictures and the ease of use are fantastic reasons to purchase this camera. If you have been looking at the Digital SLRs but can't afford their price this is a compact budget friendly camera with a lot of the amenities of a DSLR. I was also looking at the 10MP version, but after all was said and done the bells and whistles on this 12MP camera (which I have already been using) was the primary reason I purchased the camera. Do your research and find out what you need out of your camera; don't buy a 12MP camera if all you are doing with your photos are emailing them to family and friends (you have not plans on printing or having the pictures printed on photo paper).
The Camera is easy to use. On screen helps let you adjust your camera to what you want or do not want. Light weight easy to handle. Comes on instantly. You are able to upgrade the memory at a good price. Battery last quite a while and they are fairly inexpensive. Software is very nice. The zoom is easy to use. The LCD is a very nice size and clear. It is very easy to delete the picture you do not want. The video portion is very good, with fine sound quality. What more can I say. This is an excellent camera for anybody, for beginner to expert.

I just received this camera a few days ago, was replacing a Nikon Coolpix that broke due to lens error (cost as much to fix as to replace.) By comparison, this camera is almost twice the price, but still very affordable at right around $200, and has TONS more features!! Better zoom, lens, options, in-camera retouching, etc. I especially like the "twilight" features, which allow you to take a clear pic without losing the dim lighting...dont know how many "blow out the candles pics" are ruined by super bright flash and you cant even tell the room was dark. This solves that! Easy mode IS super Easy - also has a "program" mode where you can customize each setting. I also am impressed by how fast you can turn on & snap a pic. My coolpix took forever to turn on, and took forever to load between shots...and by the time i got it on, my "kodak moment" was over. This one turns on in approx. 1-2 seconds and is ready to snap. And depending on the setting, does not take long between shots. Also I LOVE LOVE LOVE the "burst" setting available on all settings, except easy, which lets me take 3 or more shots at once for moving images, or to capture the right facial expression. I have only tested the smile button, but thats really neat too - and I look forward to using it for my 18 month old... Does video in HD - just be aware you cannot zoom in or out while filming, but I knew that before buying thanks to other reviews. I also didnt want silver because I had read in reviews that it picks up fingerprints & dirt, but the best price I found was for a silver, so I got it anyway, and I dont see many fingerprints (other than on shutter and LCD, which would happen anyway) and I think the silver looks quite sharp. I do NOT like how the wrist strap is not adjustable (I have very small wrists) but I beleive you can find others - I am going to look... I needed an adapter for my memory stick, as my comp. only has a slot for an original mem. stick (NOT Duo Pro) but the adapter was only approx. $11 after researching prices online, so no biggie. I also love all the accessories available: cases, tripods that screw directly in, batteries that let you see exactly how many mins are left...I will slowly buy them.Read full review
