Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 prices and specs
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 was produced on Feb 17, 2009. For today the cheapest price for the camera is $179.99
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a point and shoot camera. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 has different automatic modes but you won't make photos of the same high quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Cyber-shot DSC-W290 can make pictures at 12 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the camera will make pictures with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is small. But if you want to shoot pictures of the best quality check Leica Q (Typ 116).
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 has max shutter speed of 1/1600 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but still you will be able to produce pictures of moving people. The owner of the Cyber-shot DSC-W290 will be able to capture HD videos that guarantees a rather high image quality.
The lens is built into the Cyber-shot DSC-W290 and the camera owner won't be able to change it. The lens has satisfactory 5x optical zoom.
