 Great camera when it WORKS :( July 27, 2010
Pam Nicely (New Market, VA USA)
I received this camera for a Christmas gift last year and I loved it at first. It took come great pictures and the zoom was awesome. However, my love was short-lived. In the short 7 months that I have owned it, it has gone to the Sony repair center TWICE. It just refuses to open...tells me to turn off and back on...etc. I've removed the battery numerous times. No go. The lens stays put. By the looks of the other reviews, I probably just got a lemon. However, be warned. When it works, it's very very good. But when it doesn't.... You'll get very very frustrated. Once this camera is out of the warranty period, if it breaks again, it's going in the trash and I'll be searching for a new camera.
great camera at a great price May 11, 2010

liked the quality of the pictures, but the battery life is low. good price and great look. love the blue color.
 great camera for every day use May 3, 2010
Donald J. Bellott Jr. (Memphis)
This was a purchase for our 13 year old. She finds it easy to use and handy. The memory card does require a device that fits over it in order to create photos at a store. This sleeve was not included in the camera and we have not been able to find one anywhere. The photo shop we use does have one.
 Unreliable, Poor Video Quality, and Expensive Memory April 30, 2010
Daniel Berntson
I've had a Sony DSC-290 for just about a year--I bought the camera for a trip to Europe last summer with my dad. The camera LCD stopped function in the middle of our trip (fortunately, we had brought along a spare). Video records with a purple vertical line whenever there strong light in the picture. I sent the camera back for repairs and got it back last fall. Since then, the zoom has stopped working and I have to send it back again. I've been trying to send it back, but the Sony repair site hasn't been working. Also, note that this camera uses Sony's proprietary memory sticks instead of the standard SD cards. That would be fine, except for the fact that memory sticks are about twice as expensive for the same amount of memory.
All in all, I have not been very happy with this camera and will not be buying a Sony next time.
Great Camera, Great Price! April 25, 2010
Mike B (Jacksonville, FL United States)
I love the Sony line of digital point and shoot camera's. We just replaced our older Sony Cyber Shot DSC-S500 6.0 megapixel camera that we've had for years. I'm amazed at all the advanced features like the optical steady shot, all the different formats, the smile detector, burst mode (it takes several shots per second), and on and on. The picture clarity is amazing as well as the video clarity. I wish they had kept the original AA battery design, but I just purchased a spare battery from Amazon that I keep charged and with me everywhere we go. I also upgraded the memory to 4 Gig and can't believe how many pics this camera will hold! We just got back from a trip to the Carribean and took over 640 pics and 4 video's and still had 135 pics to go. Battery life so far has been great, but I would suggest to everyone to completely drain your battery prior to charging it for the first time. This is a several day process but it well worth it. Just leave the camera on in video mode until it dies. Then just keep turning it on until it stops turning on after several hours of rest. My next camera will be a Sony, but I'm sure that won't be for many years to come since these camera's are durable and reliable. Happy Shooting!
