Comments about Sony DSC-W290 12.1MP Digital Camera - Black:

Purchased camera for trip to Greece and was pleased from the first picture. Excellent auto controls and ability to quickly change to manual. Additional scene selections are provided, yet auto was ideal for most all pictures. Zoom functionality was impressive for camera of this size. Only issue is battery yet I purchased additional for back up and used both witout charger over a 7 day trip. Downloading pictures is easy with software.

Comments about Sony DSC-W290 12.1MP Digital Camera - Black:

The camera works great and takes good pictures. My only gripe is that you have to use Sony's software to transfer videos to the computer. Pictures transfer fine with Picassa, but Picassa does not support the video format used in this camera.
