Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a 12 megapixel camera which features 5x optical zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization. This is a cute camera which is pretty small and comes in dark blue color.

If you are an advanced photographer you’ll be knowing how good a 12 mpx camera is. It’ll be able to capture stunning pics in great detail. Each pixel of the pic would be of great quality. And if you are looking to take large poster sized print outs, then this is a good one for that as well.

Is there any need to explain what all things you would be able to with 5x optical zoom? You can zoom into scenes that are very far away from you – sometimes you won’t believe your eyes after seeing through your naked eyes how much the camera has zoomed in!!! So, get prepared for it!!

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 responds pretty fast to the user operations. The resolutions of the pics are also of great quality. Thanks for the inclusion of BIONZ image processor.
