One of a pair of near identical twins (the other being the DSC-W230), the DSC-W290 sat near the top of the new ('09) generation of conventionally-styled 'W' series compacts and features Sony's latest intelligent auto features, a useful stabilized 28-140mm (5x) zoom, 3.0" LCD and 12MP sensor that's also capable of capturing 720p HD movie clips in MPEG4 format. The slightly more run of the mill - and cheaper - DSC-W230 drops the zoom range and HD movie capture.

Opinion: I want to keep this quick as I haven't used the camera
for very long. The quality of image seems on par with
many in its class and its easy of use is amazing. It really
is a super user friendly camera.
The Video is 720p HD and looks amazing. I took a 12
minute video clip and it was 800mb!!
The camera does feel a bit lighter than the W300 i had
before which sported the nice metal body. This is a bit
more plastic but not bad
Problems: During Video filming the auto-focus in the camera makes a
considerable amount of noise which was easily picked up
during my filming in a semi-quiet environment.
When there was loud noise around it was less apparent
but it is rather annoying when the camera is always
focusing.
