I purchase the Sony DSC W290 to replace a DSC w170 that I loved but needed repairs of over $100. This is my 7th Sony Cybershot camera. I am obviously a Sony Cybershot fan. This camera is a big disappointment. It does not through the lense view finder which I knew before I bought it but still want. I am very disappointed that Sony no longer offers a pocket size camera with a thru the lense view finder. In bright sun it is very important. The biggest disappoint is the lag time in taking pictures. The DSC 170 was much faster. It allowed me to turn off lots of the automatic functions that slow down digital cameras. The automatic features are nice in some situations but when I am trying to take picture of my grandchildren they often cause me to miss the shot. I am sorry I bought the camera - I should have known that the low price was too good to be true. This camera is probably good for a beginner but not for any one who wants to take pictures of anything that might move.

This is what I've been hearing from all these 1-3 star reviews.
Great outdoors, Bad indoors. Sony finally solved that problem with the WX1 it has a: 10.2-megapixel Back-Illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS Sensor Producing Stunning Images in Low Light. Finally. A good all around camera!!!!!!Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1/B 10MP "Exmor R" CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Steady Shot Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD (Black)

You get what you pay for.
Although the description tells of a very nice camera (12MP, 3" screen, 5x zoom, hd video...) the picture quality is VERY POOR.
I regret having bought it.

I bought this camera a few days ago and was a little worried I may not like it after reading a few negative reviews. But I have to say it works very well. This camera is very easy to use. I began taking pictures without even reading the instructions yet and had great results. I was taking pictures at a wedding reception with the lights dimmed and all my pictures turned out great with the exception of a few shots where people were moving. I am going to try a different setting next time for that after I read the directions. :)

I bought this for my wife but I wanted something I could use to do more challenging type shots and videos. I was impressed it would allow for HD Video recording (720P). We took the camera on our vacation to Vegas and the Grand Canyon. It did a great job. The quality of recording and picture was outstanding. I was a little disappointed that I could not zoom while recording video (could zoom in while paused and re-start recording) and also the auto focus seemed to "hunt" a lot when doing movie recordings. I would have liked more options for focus in the movie mode other than Auto and Fixed Infinity. Other than that it was a great camera.
