Sony Cybershot DSCW90 8.1MP features, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90 camera is a perfect way to capture and relive the magic of life — even shooting in low light without flash to preserve the mood. Powered by an advanced Bionz processing engine, new capabilities like Face Detection, in-camera retouching and red-eye reduction, D-Range Optimization, and 9-Point AF enhance performance. The HD output lets you share memories with spectacular high-definition clarity and impact on compatible HDTV screens — and HD Slide Show with Music makes sharing your photos even more entertaining.
With more megapixels than most digital cameras, the DSC-W90 captures greater image definition so you can make big prints and tight crops without losing detail. The advanced Sony Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
A top-quality Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens design helps the DSC-W90 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots quickly for better composition — a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun, and travel photos.
Helpful consumer’s review
To be honest, I never much cared for Sony products before now. This little camera is just what I needed and wanted. It takes really nice pictures and most importantly, its a snap to use. I ended purchasing an extra battery, but to my surprise, the standard battery is capable of taking over 200 shots before needing a recharge. I’m impressed. The lcd screen is cystal clear and very bright. For the money, you just can’t go wrong. I wanted a small point & shoot camera because I got tired of having to deal with large camera cases, lens covers and all of the gadgetry required to take picture with my other digital camera. This is small, very simple to use, takes great photos and fits in a shirt pocket. You just turn it on and go. You won’t be disappointed.
I upgraded to this from the Sony Cybershot DSC-W50. They have made some great improvements but they have made some changes that I don’t like also, which is why I give this 4 stars and not 5.
If you’re looking for a small point-and-shoot camera, this one is great, but it definitely has red eye issues for indoor pics with the flash, so be warned! The good news though is that this camera has red-eye removal software right in the camera. I would say it works about 80% of the time, which I think is very good. The rest I just remove in Photoshop or Shutterfly.
I did some research online and talked to some camera experts and I found out that red-eye is a very common problem with these small point-and-shoot cameras. It’s unfortunately just the way this camera is designed – the lens is just so close to the flash.
