Canon PowerShot SD940IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD (Blue) Top Quality


I originally bought this little beauty because I needed a tiny camera to drop into my pocket when I didn't feel like lugging the SLR around with me while on a vacation. The size is perfect: literally the size of a credit card, fits into jeans or shirt pocket easily. But the REAL awesomeness of this camera? It has a 3200 ISO mode, that takes surprisingly excellent photos. On a recent trip to Italy, I was able to use it unnoticed in dimly-lit churches, museums, etc., and even for hand-held night shots on the street. The images do contain some noise, as any would at ISO 3200 -- but this camera allowed me to get pictures that I otherwise would've missed, and that makes it a little miracle in my opinion.Get more detail about Canon PowerShot SD940IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD (Blue).

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Silver) Get it now!


I received this camera a few weeks ago and have enjoyed it ever since. It was an upgrade from an older 7.1 MP Sony camera (DSC-P200). This model is a tremendous improvement over my previous model. I compared it to similar price level models from Canon and Nikon and found this models interface to be more user friendly, admittedly this could be due to my familiarity with Sony products.

Pros:

Great vibrant photos
Good crisp images when not using zoom
Compact yet sturdy
Touch-Screen
Nice display
Great interface-I love that you can browse photos by date as it makes organization much more fluid and intuitive.

Cons:

Zoom is not on the level of other similarly priced models (though models with better zoom are bulkier-you have to pick your preference when selecting).

Touch-Screen can be a little tedious, Sometimes the touch-screen will not
recognize or respond to my actions and I do not have large fingers/hands. I would imagine someone with large hands/fingers could have a problem with the touch screen responding to a particular command when multiple options are present on screen.

With all that said me and the Mrs. are very happy with the purchase. Others who have used it have been impressed as well-her Aunt is actually talking about ordering one now. It's great as a point and click camera and is compact enough to be carried effortlessly. We are still wanting a DSLR camera, but this camera will hold us over until we make that transition--and even then, I know the DSLR will never be a full everyday carrier type of replacement!

Where To Buy Sony Cybershot DSC-W220 12.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Silver)


I recently purchased this camera and I have to say that I am quite impressed. I am just a causal picture taker so I was looking for a camera that was easy to use and this is perfect. The pictures come out crystal clear and the camera is so easy to use. I love the LCD screen. For me the screen is large enough to take a quality picture. The buttons are easy to use and camera itself is very sleek and extremely lightweight. I read through the instruction manual to get an idea of how to use some of the more complicated features but if you don't have time for this it's okay. The auto shoot mode is great!

I only have one issue with this camera. It only holds like 15MB of data which is nothing. I was just playing around with the camera and took like three pictures and a message came up that the memory was full! Not good...so I HAVE to buy a Sony Memory Stick so I can save my pictures. I really do feel this should have been included with the camera.

Other than that this is an amazing camera and I would recommend it to anyone!

Cheapest Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Black)


All in all a great camera that takes great photos and videos. I think it's one of the very best point-and-shoots. Consumer Reports thought its predecessor the Cybershot w300 was the best in its class. The w290 costs at least $100 less than its discontinued predecessor and only gives up some unnecessary features and about 1.5 megapixels. I actually appreciate the reduction because, at 12.1 the pictures are still great but the files are about 10% smaller.
The software's ability to identify faces and adjust to scenes is very good. (The smile detection feature is extremely cool for showing friends but not terribly useful.) The very large screen looks terrific when playing back photos and videos. While it's reason for being is to take great photos, I must say I'm a huge fan of having an HD video recorder in my pocket.
I love the w290 but it isn't perfect: It is not as small/sleek as a Canon Elph but I think the pictures and especially videos are much better - and that's why I love the Cybershot. The fact that the Sony is about $100 less expensive than a comparable Canon Elph was an added bonus.
Downsides: In low light pictures are sometimes fuzzy or noisy. This is generally most noticeable if you review the photo and zoom in close. Without zooming in its less noticeable.
Having to use Sony's proprietary accessories is annoying(eg camera does not take a standard mini USB; you also have to use a memory stick instead of the typical SD card) and was almost a deal breaker, but the quality of the camera and pix/videos won me over. I used the money I saved to buy my memory stick and still had plenty left over.
Like all other cameras I found with HD video, this one doesn't let you zoom while recording and the files are massive - making them tough to email to friends and family.
Despite these flaws, I still think this is the best point and shoot in its class and highly recommend it.Get more detail about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Black).
