I just bought the w290 DSC and it is great!!

Date of Review:  Jul 30, 2009
The Bottom Line: Go to an Electronics store and compare picture Types VS Price you are the only one that will know if this is the right camera for you.
Review: I recently bought the new 12 MP Sony Cybershot or the W290 DSC as I keep calling it. And really for the money it is an excellent camera. It comes packed with features and from what I thought it took pretty nice pictures.

The camera is...
