Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W290 - Camera Review

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W290 - Camera Review Hi guys this is ProMacTeacher here and right now, I’m going to make hands-on review on the DSC-W290 Cyber-shot camera. So well, this camera as you can see I have the silver one. It’s 3.9-inches wide from here to here 3.9 inches. Three inches are for the LCD screen and 1-inch, almost 1-inch for this part, for the bottom layout. On the side, it’s just .9-inches long from here to here and it’s 2.4-inches height from here to here. So here, these are the sizes. As you can see the camera, it’s pretty compact, it’s pretty light too. It’s really easy to use. Right here on the back it has a standard screw for the tripod and the USB almost is well, the Sony connector for USB that I have over here. Here, is the battery, where the battery is and this battery is not lithium, Ion battery that can shot up to 300 shots. And also here, it’s where he memory stick Pro-duo goes the memory stick slot. So well guys, that’s all the design and specs of this W290. Now, let’s go to the internal specs of it. This camera has current lens, five times optical zoom and 221 times digital zoom. The lens as you can see, it’s a pretty good quality lens. Then, we zoom in so you can see. It’s a wide angle on the lens. Right on the back we’ve got about 3-inch LCD screen with easy buttons over here. It has a really useful interface. In the top, we have the shutter over here and this mild shutter over here, the power button and this thing so you keep it on your hands apparently. This camera has a BIONZ processor. I don’t know how to say it but it has a processor that makes it have 12.1 mega pixels and it shots high definition movies, 720P. It’s like perfect. And also it records VGA normal videos. There are four colors available for this camera. They are the bronze, blue, silver and black. This one is silver but you should check out the black one. It’s pretty cool or this one also. The blue one is also pretty cool. On the inside the camera, let’s turn it on. Here, you can choose the mode you’re going to use. Like for example, in the beginning it’s scene selection. Here, in scene selection, just use what kind of like texture you want for you pictures. They are shoot landscape with this --, shoot portraits, low light, and natural shoot of here, shoot water sizing. So, there are a lot of scenes that you can actually use. Then, we have the intelligent outdoor adjustment. Here, in the intelligent outdoors adjustment we can choose this mildly texture sensitivity like if you want it like too much smile or low smile or almost nothing and the face detection. I have it on automatic but you can put it on “off”. Also, focus with – on children’s faces and adult faces. I have it on auto. And scene recognition, I have altitude but you can click on advance if you are like an advanced photographer. Also you can shoot the image brightness. Then record mode if you want to make it on burst shooting or normal single shot and the match side. They are like 12m, 8m, 5m, and 3m. Then the next is the program auto. It’s basically the same just that you shoot the more records mode like burst. It shoots 3 at .3-seconds a far, .7-seconds a far and 1-second a far also the match side. And that’s almost it guys. And then let’s move up to the movie selection. Here in the movie selection you can choose if you’re going to be shooting underwater maybe with a like a specific case, -- sensitivity, auto and here you can choose the match size of your recording. I have it on 720 standards but there’s also 725 and VGA. The 725 is a wide disc camera. It’s like so fainted because it can shoot high quality videos with this function and that proved that it really works. The brightness of your recording, the white balance and the focus, the metering mode, quarter mode and that’s almost all. Okay, guys so now let’s go to the concept of the camera. The only bad thing I see about this camera is that you can't zoom while you’re recording. That’s almost everything. That’s all the bad thing I see in this camera. It’s actually pretty good so you guys better check out. It’s like $260 I think. That’s what it cost me .So you guys better check out and check this camera. It’s like a best, top of the line of the W line on Sony. So check it out guys. Thanks a lot of watching. If you like it, please subscribe comment and support my channel. Thanks a lot. Bye.
