Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W290 Digital Camera Review

When designing the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 digital camera engineers kept the menu options easy to access and maneuver. Even though the controls are not extensive there are ample settings to take great shots in any situation. Included in the options are: an auto mode with access to ISO, exposure, white balance, focus, and metering, as well as a movie mode capable of 720p HD-quality videos. Also included is the easy mode that allows the adjustments of just a couple basic shooting options. On this model, there are 10 shooting modes to choose from.
The overall functionality of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 digital camera is excellent. Finding the buttons for basic operations was easy as there are just three buttons on top: the power button, the shutter-release button and a smile shutter button for instantly activating the have-smile-will-shoot feature. The time from startup to the first shot is a speedy 1.3 seconds.
Shutter lag in bright and good lighting with this camera was 0.4 seconds. In dimmer lighting the lag time went up to 0.7 seconds. When used without the flash on the average waiting time is about 2.3 seconds between shots. The difference when using the flash is only .4 seconds. Also the burst speed of this pocket camera is 2.1 frames per second.
The video quality with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 digital camera is excellent. There was only drawback where users can't use of the 5x zoom while recording. Playing the recordings on HDTV is easy but does require the use of an additional component cable where you would need to connect it to the terminal on the camera's underside.
