Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290/L - digital camera - Carl Zeiss

Key Features and Benefits: Easy Image Management Easy Image Management takes the hassle out of sorting through large volumes of image data, so you can quickly select and view your desired photos. Photos can be browsed in four convenient ways: by Standard Folder view, Date view, Event view, and Favorites showing only user-selected images. You can also harness the power of Face Detection technology to filter by face type (choices include All People, Children, Infants, and Smiles). 12.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Image Sensor: A powerful 12.1 megapixel 1/2.3” Super HAD CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 12.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19”) size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots. BIONZ image processor: The BIONZ image processor delivers the high resolution and fast performance you expect from a Sony digital camera. Available in four sophisticated colors: Available in four sophisticated colors: silver, black, blue and bronze. Intelligent Auto Mode: Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode goes beyond traditional auto settings by recognizing and adjusting to scene conditions and lighting, enhancing natural skin tones, and reducing blur. By incorporating advanced features such as Intelligent Scene Recognition, Face Detection, and Optical SteadyShot, iAuto lets you take advantage of the latest Sony Cyber-shot technology without leaving auto mode. Whether you're shooting expansive landscapes, capturing playground action, or taking pictures at a birthday party or wedding shower, iAuto will optimize your camera's settings to help ensure you come away with a great shot. HD Movie: Capture more of your memories in high definition (720p) video. Record HD movies in 720p high definition MPEG4 format for stunning large-screen home movie playback. Record up to 29 min in 720p format (or up to 2GB) per movie6. Intelligent Scene Recognition: Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects eight different types of scenes conditions (Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a Tripod, Portrait, Landscape, and Macro) and within 1/30th of a second selects the appropriate camera settings:. iSCN has 2 modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advance Mode, the camera takes a photo with the standard automatic settings and, in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with optimized setting so you can choose which to keep. Face Detection technology: Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and controls flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to deliver accurate, natural skin tones with reduced red-eye. It can also give priority to children or adults. Newly added Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and accelerates the shutter speed when facial movement is detected, reducing blur in the subjects face. Anti-blink Function: It's frustrating to think you've captured that perfect shot, only to review it later and discover one of your subjects blinked just as you pressed the shutter. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Portrait, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot. Smile Shutter Technology: The popular Smile Shutter technology automatically detects and captures a smiling face. Simply activate by pressing the Smile Shutter button and the camera will capture a smile the moment it happens. You can also select subject priority (Adult or Child Priority or using the cross key buttons on the camera) and indicate the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity to high (small smile), medium (laugh) or low (grin). Great substitute of self timer, smile once all are ready and the camera will capture the smile. Double Anti-blur Solution: The combination of Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and High ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood. High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200): High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200): High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to eight ISO settings (Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions. Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and Plus: Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and Plus: Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine the best exposure and contrast settings for almost any shooting environment. The result is more natural images with clearer details that more closely match what your naked eye sees. DRO is particularly effective when shooting backlit portraits or any scene with a dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting. DRO Plus allows for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and performing additional image processing. Convenient Photo Modes: Convenient Photo Modes: Choose from 13 convenient photo modes to quickly adjust for specific shooting conditions. Photo modes include iAuto, Easy, Program, and Scene Selection such as High Sensitivity, Landscape, Soft Snap, Twilight Portrait, Twilight, Beach, Snow, Fireworks, Underwater and Gourmet Mode. Gourmet Mode lets you capture mouth-watering culinary creations with all the color and clarity of images you see in gourmet magazines. 9-Point Auto Focus: 9-Point Auto Focus: Because an off-centered subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus system measures nine precision focus points, giving you greater creative freedom to compose your images. Burst Mode: Burst Mode: You can fire up to 100 shots at approximately 0.62 second intervals (at any resolution; VGA to high resolution mode. Results may vary based on settings and Memory Stick media being used). Function Guide: Function Guide: This beginner-friendly optional function helps navigate through the various functions and settings displaying the description of chosen functions or settings on the LCD screen. Easy Shooting Mode: With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great photos. In Easy Shooting Mode, easy-to-understand basic instructions are displayed on the LCD screen and the camera switches to all automatic settings with iSCN so you can just take the photo without worrying about settings. The menu is also simplified on playback to provide limited but straight forward operating functions for those afraid of choosing wrong settings. 16:9 High Resolution Mode: 16:9 High Resolution Mode: Using the 16:9 High Resolution Mode, you can record high resolution images in the 16:9 aspect ratio favored by HDTVs. This setting is ideal if you plan to view your images on a compatible HDTV6 and invite friends and family members under for a slideshow. Memory Stick Duo Media Convenience: Memory Stick Duo Media Convenience: The Cyber-shot DSC-W290 camera accepts Memory Stick PRO Duo media (sold separately).

This camera is sooo neat, it has so many features I have not even investigated enough but I can tell you righ off the bat that is is the best camera I have owned. I bought it right on time for thanksgiving and we took the most beautiful pictures with it and I received a lot of compliments on my camera. It's also small and cute, clear pic and clear video. I am sooo excited because I am always taking pictures.

Best Camera I've ever owned!

Reviewed in the USA on 2009-08-21T17:00:00

Where do I start.. I love every single thing about this camera. I didn't need the manual as the buttons and menu options are well defined and easy to understand. The pictures from this camera are amazing! I cannot believe the difference in my last camera (only 8 mega pixels) versus this Sony 12.1mp! The feature, I later found out, that has made the difference in the high quality photos is the Carl Zeiss lens! Check out the Zeiss website and you will see how renowned this name is for high quality lens and optics. I could go on and on about the satisfaction I have for this Sony camera and it's high quality, but all I can say is BUY this camera! I was not sure what camera to buy. I did know all I wanted to do is turn the camera on, aim and push a button! On the automatic setting, that is all you have to do and you will achieve professional quality pictures. Now if you're the type of person who knows all about cameras, then you too will Love this camera. It has so many choices and settings if you "choose" to do that, but I let the intelligence built into the camera do all the work and all my pictures have been the highest quality! I also like the fact this camera has "Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization" that basically means no matter how shaky your hand is, your pictures will be perfect and clear. The 3" LCD screen on this camera is huge compared to most I looked at, and crystal clear. Also another interesting feature is the "Smile Shutter Face Detection" this camera finds faces (up to 8 in one portrait) and knows if your subjects are smiling or not. This camera even takes 720p HD video! Oh and the (included) rechargeable battery is the best I've ever had and lasted all day at my family reunion! I had the camera on for most of the day, if not taking pictures I was passing it around for others to view the pictures already taken. Bottom line, if you are in the market for a compact point and shoot camera, Buy this Sony!

this camera is amazing. I have owned numerous cameras and this is by far the best. The pictures come out amazing in any light. This is the best camera out there for the price. I was a cannon fan but the new cannon is terrible(do not buy) If you want a camera that is wonderful and will give you great pictures buy this one!!!! (it doesn't even give you glare when you take a picture through glass)

THE BEST CAMARA I'VE EVER OWNED!!!

Reviewed in the USA on 2009-11-14T16:00:00

this camara is awesome!! if your a simple picture taker this camara is for you. I bought this camara two weeks ago and i havent put it down yet! it takes fabulous pictures that come out high quality, on a large 3 in screen! I was looking around for the right camara for MONTHS! and the only one that was simple enough for me but still intelligent was this one! The intelligent mode is soooooo useful! honestly I don't understand all the features on ANY electronic but this camara changes itself to match the picture setting. For example: It snowed last week and i wanted to show my sister in Florida the snow, so i took a picture and the camara changed its settings to a landscape setting! its so smart for a little camara! Theres a ton of features that you can use on the camara itself, like my favorite is the "BURST" mode. While holding down the shutter button its continuely takes pictures of your object so you never miss a moment of whatever your object or subject is doing. This is great for people who have children or pets that they like to capture pictures of, I know i use it on my dog and i get so many great pictures of him that I wouldve never gotten had I snapped the pictures one by one. I just love this camara if you love taking pictures but not a professional but still want quality photos..you just have to get this camara!

Love this camera! Has a lot of new features that my 4 year old Cybershot didn't have. There is a rapid shot type feature that will allow you to take a quick succession of photos by simply holding down the shutter button. GREAT for action shots! The camera is easy to use and I've already had alot of fun with it. A little bit bigger than my last camera, but still fits in the same camera case. A bigger screen was a nice plus, even though I didn't care about that when I made this selection. I would definitely recommend this camera.

THIS CAMERA IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN EVERY WAY, SHAPE AND FORM!!! CONSIDERING I AM UPGRADING FROM AN OLD 2.1 MP HP, THE DIFFERENCES WERE EXTRAORDINARY. THE CAMERA HAS EASY FUNCTION KEYS AND THE QUALITY OF THE PICTURES TAKEN BY IT ARE INCREDIBLE. DID ALOT OF RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING AND I AM GLAD WITH MY PURCHASE WITH ALL THAT IT HAS TO OFFER!!! DON'T WAIT ANYMORE AND GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE; YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

This is a great camera. It takes great pictures, It's easy to operate, and has plenty of extra features to play with. By shopping for a camera on walmart.com I was able to get a better camera for a better price than what was offered at the store itself.
