    The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90 adds a slight resolution bump to an already good snapshot camera. If you're looking for a simple, modestly priced pocket camera that shoots quickly and produces nice pictures, the W90 makes a nice choice. If you already have a Cyber-shot DSC-W80, you don't need to give the W90 much consideration; the minor increase in picture size doesn't justify getting an entirely new camera.

    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

  3. Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W90 Digital Camera Review

    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. Very Disappointing

    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 functions. I couldn't get it to zoom in when videoing which I was used to with the other one and had... Read more

    Can i just point out my friend owns one of these and believe me its worth every penny! The Sony DSC W90 is one of the cheaper pocket sized cameras. Its strong points include ease of use. This camera is one for the shortlist if you are looking for a camera you can slip into your pocket, but you don't really want to spend all your pocket money. The DSC W90 is aimed at someone looking to take the normal range of snapshots on holiday and at all the usual social occasions.... Read more
