    A pretty solid offering from Sony. Low price for a camera you can slip into a pocket. Read more

    Speedy performance with a rich list of features and good ergonomics the Sony DSC W90 is an excellent camera. Just for the sake of nit-picking, we'd like to see manual controls. That said, it's a great camera to bring those memories alive. Read more

    Easy to use The intelligent Sony Cyber-shot W90 also has DRO (Dynamic Range Optimiser) technology, which automatically corrects the contrast and exposure. Use the large LCD screen to re-touch your photographs, remove red-eye and trim the image size; this is particularly useful when using PictBridge to connect directly to a printer without using a PC. A fantastic range of optional accessories are available to maximise the features of the Sony Cyber-shot W90, including a... Read more

    On paper, the W90 doesn’t lack the characteristics to seduce the avid photographer. Unfortunately, the quality of images is not up to par with this brand’s usual high standards. Read more

  1. Great for stills but not action shots

    Don't let my title fool you - I love this camera. It takes wonderful still pictures that come out clear and beautiful. But whenever I attempt to take a night picture without flash or of a moving object, they come out blurry. I have tried using the different settings but I still can not get the pictures to come out in focus. The battery last a very, very long time and extremely user friendly in regards to menu features and uploading to PC. Read more

    This review is from: Sony DSCW90 Digital Camera (8.1MP, 3.0 Optical Zoom) 2.5'' LCD - Silver (Electronics) I bought this camera for its quick shutter lag (time it takes from pressing button to when it actually takes the picture). Although it is quick in that respect I did not find it easy to use. I previously had a Casio Exillim which needed replacing. I found this camera much harder to get to grips with and was very disappointed with the operation of the camera and the... Read more

    I am baffled by the negative comments on this camera. I purchased it as a "purse" camera for times when I didn't want to lug my SLR and gear. I love it. I will agree with the poster that said you have to really read the manual and figure things out, but once you do, it's awesome. Read more
