Sometimes cameras, even digital cameras, aren’t really a big deal.  There’s nothing really outstanding about them either way, but you can still get a good value out of them.  The Sony DSC W290 is a perfect example of a camera just like that.

The Sony DSC W290 is a twelve megapixel camera with a 5X optical zoom, with eleven megs of onboard memory and the ability to take video in 720p resolution.

It’s a nice enough camera, with a good button layout and a light, small design.  But the best part is, despite its light, small frame, the buttons are all still accessible and easy to use.  This isn’t always the case with a small camera–some of them have very tiny buttons that are hard to press.  But this is not one of those cameras.

Overall, this is a nice quality camera that really isn’t particularly spectacular but provides a solid value.  If you actually decide to pick one of these up–you can actually pick one up used on Amazon for just under two hundred bucks–you should be plenty satisfied.
