Reviews We have only had our camera for one month but so far we love it. It takes great pictures and it is easy to use. I am very happy with my new camera. I already had a SONY mid-size, which I love, so this one was easy to learn how to use. Very similar. I liked that it uses the same battery and memory stick,so they are interchangeable. Disappointed that the cord is not the same; it is something extra for me to take on trips. I love it for sharp close ups. It even does well for distance shots that I then crop. Of course, the blue color is great. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants to be able to slip the camera in his/her pocket and take very clear pictures.The price was fair as well. I am very satisfied with this camera. Easy to use and very good picture quality. You will not find a cooler looking and feeling camera anywhere, but alas, the following two issues were deal breakers for me and I opted to return the camera and by a Panasoci Lumic DMC-ZR1 instead. Sony issues: 1) NO ZOOM ABILITY in video mode. 2) Very soft photos - inconsistent photo quality. I really wanted to love this camera because it is just so cool looking and solid, but seeing soft blurry blotches on faces in my photos is just not acceptable. And how do they not include a zoom ability on the video mode? The Panasonic that I bought instead takes care of both issues. While the low-light photo quality is not terrific on the Panasonic either, the overall photo quality is better. And now I can zoom in video mode - and with greater zoom ability, 12X. Pretty good little camera. The video feature is cool, that's the reason for the purchase. Although the zoom is not that far. After I purchased this camera from Amazon, I found it cheaper at Best Buy. Also, I could've taken it back and exchanged for the color my daughter really wanted if I had purchased from Best Buy. Anyway, it takes great pics and serves it purpose. I would purchase it again. It's the best buy for what we were looking for. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Blue)
