Technical information sheet of Cyber-shot DSC-W290 - blue

The Sony DSC-W290 is a compact, robust camera that's packed with features, including a 12.1-megapixel sensor, smile and face detection and tracking technology, guaranteeing pictures turn out perfectly every time. Intelligent scene recognition gets exposure just right, while the sensitivity range of up to 3200 ISO means you can capture frame-worthy shots even when lighting isn't to your advantage. 

Meanwhile, the DSC-W290's BIONZ processor and Clear RAW NR digital noise reduction feature prevent darkness from ruining your snaps. The optical stabiliser reduces blur, and the Zeiss lens, with a 28-140mm zoom (35mm equivalent), captures every last detail. 

Finally, the DSCW290 even has a number of video and HD slideshow modes for sharing photos on a bigger screen.
