4.5/5: From: Circuit City; Posted: Sep-18-2009; Great camera; I believe this camera is great. Taking pictures in a 16x9 format makes viewing images on a HD tv great.

5/5: From: Circuit City; Posted: Aug-21-2009; Great Camera; This is a great camera. 12.1 MP is stunning when it comes to the quality of your images. The battery life is very long which was a plus.

0/5: From: Circuit City; Posted: May-19-2009; The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 seemed too good to be true when it was announced in February 2009.
