    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

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

    Reviewer: Gadget Heaven

    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

    The DSC-W90 seems like a nice package with its 8.1MP CCD, 2.5-inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, optical image stabilization, HD output, and sub $300 price. Read more

    Just read the other reviews about this camera. This camera is so hit or miss. I'd say 25% of the picture's that come from this camera are actually printable. If they aren't grainy, they're blury. I bought this camera last November, and ditched it after my picture's started appearing overly saturated. I absolutely hated this camera!!! The only thing it actually did well was video. Listen, I know the price seems right, but, do yourself a favor and DON'T skimp on your... Read more

    This camera is not capable of taking a decent picture. After extensively reading the user manual and months of trying to make this camera work, I gave up. I contacted Sony, sent the camera back and they returned it with a comment that there was nothing wrong with the camera. I talked to a multitude of customer service reps to no avail. I finally gave up on Sony as well because they are not interested in satisfying their customers or standing behind their product. I am... Read more

    I purchased this camera the month that it was released in the UK. So having had it a few months what do I think... Well, for a start it beats my old Minolta hands down. It's light weight and a decent size, so sits in my hand quite nicely. And looks rather fetching in black! Upon turning it on it becomes pretty clear how you go about using the device. For the less technical amoung us, the selector wheel cycles through the preset options for the general Portraits,... Read more
