In conclusion, the Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a great camera that offers users the best features of a point-and-shoot while adding the functionality of a digital video camera. As a camera that is readily accessible to users of all skill levels, this camera...

Review summary:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera, offering a solid combination of features, usability and design. Image quality isn't perfect, but it should be more than adequate for the vast majority of users
Verdict:
Video quality is good too, but you don't get use of the 5x zoom while you're recording. Also, if you want to view your recording on an HDTV, you'll need to pay up for a proprietary component cable that connects to the multi-use terminal on the camera's...

Review summary:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a 12Mp compact camera with 1080p video capture.
Verdict:
Sony has had a fair bash at marrying video capture and point-and-shoot photography and, on paper, you get a lot for your £180 or so. However, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290's video functions are limited, the camera is reasonable but not exceptional and...

Verdict:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a compelling package. Unless you're extraordinarily picky about your photo quality, it's a great pocket camera at a reasonable price with a solid combination of features, usability and design.

Review summary:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 seemed too good to be true when it was announced in February 2009. For less than $250 you get a wide-angle lens with a 5x zoom, 12-megapixel resolution, some of Sony's advanced automatic shooting options, HD video capture,...
Verdict:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.

Review summary:
If you're looking for fun in-camera extras and editing tools in a point-and-shoot digital camera, the Sony Cybershot DSC-W290 is a great option.
Verdict:
The Sony Cybershot DSC-W290 may not have the sharpest image quality in its price range, but casual photographers looking for a big display, ease of use, and good battery life will likely be pleased with it. Those looking for fun in-camera features and...

Review summary:
This Jessops-exclusive compact is packed with advanced features
Verdict:
While it may not have the best picture quality in the world, and some of the controls are a little fiddly, if you want a camera that will take a good photo quickly and reliably in virtually any lighting conditions then the Sony W290 is very hard to...

Review summary:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a variant of the W270 sold in the UK exclusively from Jessops. It differs from the W270 in that it has a 3in 230k LCD monitor instead of the W270's 2.7in screen. The What Digital Camera Sony W290 review...
Verdict:
Image quality may not be perfect, but the fantastic low-light ability, excellent build quality, lightning-fast performance and the additional versatility of the 5x wide zoom and HD video recording make this camera outstanding value for money.

Verdict:
A wide-angle lens and a big LCD complement the Cyber-shot DSC-W290's fun and unique in-camera features.

Review summary:
I do not get to see many Sony units as their agency in the past has not the most cooperative hence this unit being supplied by Jessops. This is a small neat unit but it also has a lot of recent features and certainly worth a look.
Verdict:
This looks like many other small digital cameras with a huge TFT. However apart from a very small amount of internal memory it requires a card and because the camera is from Sony it will require their type of memory and not the far more easily...

Review summary:
The 5x optical zoom range won't get you to the top of Everest but the 28mm wide angle will certainly make sure you capture the breadth of the mountain range. The now standard Carl Zeiss lens helps to make the W290 and W270 cameras versatile enough to...
Verdict:
One of the best selling digital cameras is the Sony Cyber-shot W170. This 10 megapixel camera has recently been upgraded to 12 megapixels and is badged as the Sony W270. [...]

Review summary:
There are few digital compacts on the market that offer better value than the Sony W290. Chunkier than the super-svelte Canon Ixus compacts or Nikon's S640, it's nonetheless perfectly pocketable at 96 x 27 x 57mm (WDH), and the build quality is solid...
Verdict:
A great-value Cyber-shot combining decent features and good image quality with a reasonable price

Review summary:
Touting a 12.1MP, is this camera's bite as big as its bark?
Verdict:
The W290 is a fantastic buy: producing crisp, well-balanced and vibrant frames, all at an affordable cost. It struggles in low light and isn't the top contender for macro or sports but excels in landscape and portrait shooting, and for an every day...

Review summary:
Wide-angle lens, big LCD, and good battery life complement this point-and-shoot's unique in-camera features.
Verdict:
The 12-megapixel DSC-W290 has a 5X optical-zoom Carl Zeiss lens, starting at 28mm on the wide-angle end to 140mm on the telephoto end. It’s a bit thicker than many competing point-and-shoots, but still pocketable: about 4 inches wide, 2.5 inches high,...
