Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Black) Review


I did this as a Christmas gift from my father. I go through very quickly and the camera is a replacement for my Sony Cybershot 10 Megapixel. It's really great, I absolutely love it. The video quality is amazing, albeit very briefly, with the stick of memory. It 'a little' hard to read at first, recording mode, you must be in, but I'm sure that just because I'm not the type of person that direction. I finally found it, and as I said, it's greatQuality.

Small Camera, terrible picture quality – Gadget Freak – USA
Bought this camera after comparing a couple of cameras local electronics store. Small camera and pictures looked great LCD screen. When I bought and actually used, was the quality of the images on your computer terribly. I tried various settings – auto, manual. Tested in different conditions – indoors and outdoors. Images are not sharp at all. I compared the images with a 5 years old Sony Cybershot camera P9. P9 was much sharper.

I sat down with Sony. After troubleshootingon-line, ask us to send camera to Sony for repair. I do not go through the process of repairing a camera around again. So I contacted Amazon. Quick authorized return of the camera without questions, even though I missed the window of a few days back. I had one person pick up the next morning the camera from me for the return.

Excellent service from Amazon. Made me a customer for life. Bad camera.
